HarperDB Named an IDC Innovator for Edge Inference Delivery

One of Five Companies Profiled in the Report

DENVER, Feb. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- HarperDB, bringing next-level web performance to a digital-first world, today announced that it has been named an IDC Innovator in the report, IDC Innovators: Edge Inference Delivery, 2024 (Doc #: US52767224, December 2024).

IDC Innovator reports highlight emerging vendors that are offering new technology, a groundbreaking solution to an existing issue, and/or an innovative business model. Deploying and managing data-dependent workloads in highly distributed environments is a complex and costly challenge for most organizations. Digital transformation and the proliferation of AI in the enterprise calls for the processing of real-time data at the edge, but existing infrastructures and data management processes are often inadequate or too complex to maintain and manage properly.

HarperDB was founded on the belief that a development platform should make scaling modern applications in highly distributed and diverse environments easy, faster, with lower global latency, and greater cost efficiency – removing the barriers to performance and innovation. To do this, HarperDB has collapsed the traditional software stack into a single technology, on a single server. Database caching, application and messaging functions are combined into one high-performant offering.

"Across all industries, business and IT leaders can see the opportunities for improvement and acceleration of innovation, but the ability to streamline and secure highly distributed IT services is a barrier to progress. Modernized edge infrastructure and management technologies can address this complexity and accelerate the shift from data deluge to data-driven insights and operations." — Jennifer Cooke, IDC Research Director, Edge Trends and Strategies

HarperDB's support of distributed systems and low-latency architecture enables users to natively dispense and synchronize data across geographically distributed locations – fast. As a result, users can make better, more informed decisions from data, tap new revenue streams, and achieve greater business agility and operational resiliency.

"What was impossible is now accessible to every developer," said Stephen Goldberg, CEO and Co-Founder of HarperDB. "We understand that edge resources operate under capacity limitations and have built a system with an architecture that allows for nearly limitless horizontal scale. Our deep geo-redundancy and low network latency makes app development faster and ongoing maintenance easy – even as application requirements change over time. We are proud to be recognized as an IDC Innovator. We believe we received this recognition for our  future-forward approach and for the new levels of reliability, scale, and performance we bring to data teams."

HarperDB streams data with a fault-tolerant system that is ideal for bandwidth-constrained locations, allowing for mass data ingestion and AI-based decision making on the same edge system vs. connecting, deploying, and maintaining multiple systems to achieve the same functionality. See how HarperDB delivered fault-tolerant data connectivity between autonomous aquatic drones, aerial drones, and ground command stations for the U.S. Navy in project Common Operational Database.
