Companies Team Up To Enhance Space Cloud Computing.

Satellite communication startup LEOcloud announced in July a partnership with supercomputer company Ramon. Space to build new satellite cloud computing devices for both commercial and military customers.

LEOcloud, which launched in February, is offering a two-phase strategy of initially co-locating edge computing cloud services at the closest point of connectivity to a satellite infrastructure where data is being sourced, Dennis Gatens, CEO and president of the company, said in an interview.

During phase one, LEOcloud will offer low-latency hybrid cloud services that provide users with connectivity to "satellite data suppliers, hybrid cloud edge computing services and global connectivity," the company said.

In phase two, the company will develop, launch and operate a satellite-based cloud infrastructure that provides low latency, secure, high availability, mission-critical cloud services.

LEOcloud plans to demonstrate its space-edge services to potential customers in the September-October timeframe, Gatens said.
