Centralized edge compute
CPU, memory, storage, and GPU capability placed on-site or near the team using it.
FOG Server · FOG Workspace
Put capable compute closer to the work.
FOG is Contender Systems’ developing edge-infrastructure platform: centralized local compute, GPU-accelerated remote desktops, private file and AI workloads, and managed access from thin, mobile, or minimal endpoints.
Infrastructure direction
One edge appliance. Many managed workspaces.
FOG is designed to concentrate capability where an organization can control it, then deliver the working environment to simpler endpoints.
Remote workspaces
GPU-accelerated desktop sessions delivered to compatible laptops, mobile devices, or minimal endpoints.
Local AI workloads
Private document search, analysis, and assisted workflows that can run closer to organization-controlled data.
Provisioning & installation
Networking, system setup, endpoint provisioning, access policy, and an observable operating baseline.
Managed operations
Monitoring, backup design, support, access review, and lifecycle planning as part of the service layer.
Modular upgrades
Capacity and resilience that can evolve through GPU, memory, storage, and redundancy changes.
Current stage
Prototype proven. Productization is pilot-led.
FOG is an infrastructure program under development, not a mass-market appliance promise. The next responsible step is a controlled developer kit and small-office pilot that validates hardware configuration, remote-workspace performance, installation, support, security, and upgrade economics.
Why pilot first: Hardware becomes a product only when the operating model around it—deployment, monitoring, recovery, access policy, support, and lifecycle—is repeatable.
A connected stack
Software proves the workflows. Edge infrastructure extends the delivery model.
FOG follows Contender Systems’ operating-software work; it does not replace the discipline of building and validating the application layer first.
