Description
Modern research increasingly relies on distributed software, from AI workloads and simulations to data analysis across many machines. To cut latency, save bandwidth, and protect sensitive data, these applications run at the "network edge", near the data. But edge environments are messy: devices are scattered, diverse, and connected through untrusted networks, making deployment difficult.
This poster presents Netsody, a networking middleware that simplifies running distributed applications and experiments in the real world. Netsody links highly distributed devices into one overlay network where they appear side by side and communicate, even in mobile and dynamic environments, letting researchers focus on their applications instead of distributed networking. Proven in real-world deployments, Netsody is freely available to researchers and organisations building and running distributed applications across the cloud-edge continuum.
