Lumen Edge Bare Metal offers dedicated, pay-as-you-go server hardware hosted in

distributed locations, connected to the Lumen global fibre network. It delivers

exceptional application performance from running on edge nodes designed for 5

milliseconds or less latency over the Lumen fibre network, as well as enhanced

security and connectivity designed to isolate and protect data. With the

ability to run applications and workloads on a unified platform, customers can

focus on developing applications rather than on time-consuming infrastructure

deployment.

The service will leverage edge locations in Japan and Singapore, as well as

Lumen's highly connected network in APAC.

"We are excited to bring our edge computing solutions to the fast-growing APAC

market. So much here is leading-edge. The region has a strong presence of

enterprise customers using blockchain technologies to drive innovation. APAC

customers across key industries such as retail, manufacturing and financial

services can now deploy applications and workloads that demand ultra-low

latency at the edge. Our Lumen services deliver efficient and reliable

operations that can keep this momentum going," said Francis Thangasamy,

managing director, Lumen Technologies APAC.

The Lumen Edge Bare Metal service's first deployment in APAC took place in

Singapore and Japan – namely, for a global blockchain nonprofit organisation (

). Using Lumen's service, the global blockchain nonprofit can provide

high-speed edge computing infrastructure for node operations and developers on

its network, supporting its global community of blockchain validators, as well

as application programming interface providers and developers.

Other existing solutions within the portfolio in the region include Lumen Edge

Private Cloud, which provides pre-built infrastructure for high-performance

private cloud computing connected to the Lumen global fibre network. The Lumen

network is one of the largest, most deeply connected networks in the world

spanning 643,000 global route kilometers of fibre, including subsea cable

networks.
