Pensando Systems is a company developing edge computing and cloud computing services for enterprises and cloud providers. The company is headquartered in San Jose, California and was founded in 2017 by John Chambers, Luca Cafiero, Mario Mazzola, Prem Jain, and Soni Jiandani. The company's edge and cloud computing platform is designed to scale linearly across all server environments and minimize latency. The company claims they can reduce CPU usage for businesses by 20-40% through using less power.

The company's platform was developed in collaboration with cloud, storage, and telecommunications companies. The platform is designed to offer services for cloud computing, networking, storage, and cloud security.

Platform

Pensando's platform is an IoT, AI, and 5G capable edge computing platform, capable of computing at the edge where the data is collected, and capable of helping organizations developing new architectures. The platform is intended to be programmable and software-defined cloud, compute, networking, storage, and security services at the edge.

Pensando's platform is built on the Pensando Custom P4 Programmable Processor, which is built to execute a software stack delivering cloud, compute, network, storage, and security services at cloud scale and intended to lower latency and power requirements. As well, Pensando works on the Pensando Distributed Services Card, which includes the P4 programmable processor, and provides software-defined services at the server edge, and intended to eliminate the assortment of discrete appliances in data centers and to help simplify IT operations.

Distributed Services Switch

Pensando's Distributed Services Switch (DSS) is designed to simplify network architectures by replacing costly appliances that create traffic bottlenecks with a high-performance, distributed services-enabled switching platform. DSS is intended to offer switching with forty-eight network firewalls and centralized management built in, with other features including services in-line at leaf, simplified network, no service stitching, centralized policy management, and the capability to scale to millions of policies, flows, and connections. DSS was developed with partners including Dell, Elastic, Guardicore, Splunk, VMWare, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, and ServiceNow.

Distributed Services Card

Pensando's Distributed Services Card (DSC) is intended to help deploy services at the computer and server edge to provide a clean separation between compute instances and cloud infrastructure functions. The Pensando DSC-25 and DSC-100 DSCs enable a user to manage infrastructure functions while providing a more cost-effective solution for saving compute resources. Other features of the software-defined services at the compute edge include integrated security, networking, and observability; incorporated data plane and control plane; simplified configuration and management for large-scale deployments; and improved security posture through distributed network protection.

Policy and services manager (PSM)

Pensando's Policy and services manage (PSM) is a distributed system that works to use an intent-based model for network and security policy for Pensando's service implementation at the edge. This includes features such as microservices-based scalable management controllers, network visibility at the edge to discover problems, central management of network and security policy configuration, third party tool integration with REST APIs, and recovery from node, process failures, and network partitions.
