About us | Our Story

Orchestrating and automating the world’s distributed infrastructure

We build the cloud-to-edge orchestration platform that runs infrastructure, networks, applications and AI from a single control plane.

Why we exist

Compute is moving out of the data centre and into stores, factories, ports, substations and cell sites. Every one of those locations needs infrastructure provisioned, networks configured, applications deployed and, increasingly, AI models kept current.

Doing that manually does not scale past a few dozen sites. Doing it with cloud tooling stops at the Kubernetes layer and never reaches the physical network.

NearbyOne was built to close that gap: one platform that orchestrates the whole stack, down to the radio and the switch, wherever it sits. For companies running operations across distributed sites, that makes it the must-have layer to deploy, operate and scale.
