NodeWeaver’s edge platform modernizes Carnival’s shipboard connectivity
Carnival Corporation is modernizing its shipboard connectivity services using NodeWeaver‘s edge operating platform, enhancing network performance and compute density.
According to IDC, the edge computing market is rapidly growing, with investments expected to reach $232 billion in 2024 and nearly $350 billion by 2027.
NodeWeaver’s platform allows for the consolidation of network services, enabling virtualized networking functions and reducing the need for multiple hardware appliances on ships.
The partnership with NodeWeaver and Intel focuses on optimizing onboard infrastructure for better compute and network security, addressing space, power, and cooling constraints.
NodeWeaver’s Intel Xeon processor powered edge platform uses Supermicro servers to enable Carnival to deliver agile and performant connectivity services across its entire fleet.
“Our platform’s capabilities have empowered Carnival Corporation to transform its onboard networking infrastructure, achieving benefits in terms of cost savings, flexibility, and operational efficiency,” says Carlo Daffara, CEO of NodeWeaver Corporation.
The implementation of cloud-native architecture and orchestration tools has streamlined operations and minimized manual intervention across Carnival’s fleet.
The collaboration leverages emerging technologies to maintain Carnival’s competitive edge in the cruise industry and enhance guest experiences.
Carnival Corporation’s commitment to innovation and operational excellence is underscored by its strategic adoption of advanced networking technologies and deployment methodologies. The full case study is available for download here.
Nodeweaver also recently collaborated with OnLogic to enhance edge computing efficiency and flexibility.
