Armada, an edge computing start-up based in San Francisco, has announced a $40 million funding round led by M12, Microsoft's Venture Fund. This latest round brings the company's total funding to over $100 million, positioning Armada to further develop and expand its innovative edge computing solutions.
Armada’s flagship products include the Edge, a full-stack modular data center solution designed to provide industry-leading compute capabilities to remote sites in a rugged, mobile form factor. Additionally, the company's EdgeAI applications are purpose-built for use cases at the edge, capable of running on-premises or in the cloud. Armada is looking forward to enhancing its relationship with Microsoft Azure and the Azure Marketplace across its product suite.
Commander Connect, another key offering from Armada, is a comprehensive platform designed to centralize and optimize the management of IoT assets. This includes the integration of Starlink terminals, mobile data centers (Galleons), and other edge computing resources. Leveraging Azure's robust infrastructure, Commander Connect offers unparalleled scalability, security, and performance for enterprise-grade edge computing solutions.
This funding comes at a pivotal time as all Armada products are now available in the Microsoft Azure Marketplace, enabling Azure customers to use their pre-committed Azure spend on Armada products.
