The Pioneer’s View: How ZEDEDA Has Been Defining The Future Of Data
When the idea of placing a call over the Internet was first introduced in the late 1990s, it felt unbelievably futuristic to many. But what initially seemed like science fiction soon became commonplace, first at home seated in front of a desktop and then via the supercomputers in our pockets.
This was only the first of many marvels. Soon after, the advent of cloud computing, embraced by tech titans like Amazon and Google, further accelerated the flow of services over the Internet, transcending geographical boundaries with remarkable speed. Now, in the age of Zoom, placing a voice call over the internet seems downright old-fashioned.
Said Ouissal, founder and CEO of ZEDEDA, working his way through various tech roles in his career, got a front-row seat to all these technological shifts. Sitting at the forefront of innovation, he was among the first to see the new era of technology. And for many years, he was considered the “crazy person in his village.”
His vision led to ZEDEDA, the leader in management and orchestration for edge computing, which just announced a $72 million growth capital round, with the Series C led by Smith Point Capital with participation from Endeavor Catalyst.
