Sunlight’s hyper-cloud virtualisation technology addresses bottlenecks in applications such as AI, analytics, and big data, caused by the rapid increase in data creation.

Businesses increasingly rely on data-intensive applications to run their core processes, but the data volume makes cloud processing impractical. Sunlight offers a unified HCI platform that can be deployed on-premise on standard data centre hardware, in AWS, and on resource-constrained far-edge devices. Sunlight’s technology can reduce the infrastructure costs of running these applications by up to 70%.

Twenty-five years ago, I could have written that same sentence and replaced “AI” with “the Web,” and forty years ago, “the personal computer.” This is not an article about needing to use Claude or other agentic AI tools; that is something you should be doing already.
