Problem statement

Gartner predicts a dramatic shift in data processing, with 50% of enterprise data generated and processed at the edge by 2025, up from just 10% in 2018. As devices like laptops, mobiles, drones, and robotics proliferate, organizations increasingly rely on edge computing. Unlike traditional data center-centric models, the edge presents unique challenges in data availability, security, and protection.

To scale effectively, enterprises must decentralize edge systems while maintaining centralized control. This requires zero-touch management, orchestration, and robust distributed data management. Additionally, edge systems demand unwavering reliability and data accessibility, even when networks are disrupted. Kinnami AmiShare addresses these critical challenges.

Traction information

Kinnami is a dual-use company and today has multiple projects with the US Air Force, and the US Army Corps of Engineers, Engineer Research & Development Center (ERDC). Topics include secure data sharing across drones and handled devices used by ground personnel for real-time situational awareness during search and rescue missions, secure data sharing for digital engineering, software based cross-domain solution for multi-level security, and resilient data for real-time critical infrastructure monitoring.

Kinnami is also developing pilots with a number commercial organization in sectors such as 5G, space, smart cities, and autonomous systems.
