Cox Communications has launched CoxEdge, a full stack edge-cloud computing service that is unlike Verizon and AT&T efforts primarily as it is a cloud computing as a service supplier, not just a supplier of colocation space or connectivity. That might be considered a bold move for a firm whose local access operations reach 6.5 percent of U.S. households.
Cox Communications arguably has an advantage in being a private company without public company quarterly pressures to perform. That means CoxEdge can be developed without undue pressures to hit public firm revenue, profit or growth targets.
Products include Virtual Compute, Storage, Bare Metal, Edge CDN, Distributed Database services, Serverless computing, Distributed Containers, and Enterprise Kubernetes.
Operating in parts of 17 states, Cox Communications mostly serves tier-two cities Phoenix, San Diego, Oklahoma City,, Las Vegas, Tucson, Cleveland, Mesa, Ariz., Omaha and New Orleans, as well as Los Angeles.
Cox Enterprise has developed vertical solutions for federal government, healthcare, education, hospitality and backhaul services for mobile operators. Logically, CoxEdge would leverage those relationships and capabilities, while primarily aiming to provide edge computing as a service in its core metro markets.
That is virtually always what U.S. cable operators choose to do, when introducing new services.: focus on customers in its existing network footprint.
