Kaniz Mahdi, SVP Technology Architecture and Innovation at Deutsche Telekom, said, “Pleased to see the speed with which the OGA has captured the mind-share in the past year alone. With a think tank shaping our vision and grid innovation zones spanning across the North America, we are well on our way to setting up the initial constructs for our ultimate ambition: an open grid that fosters open exchange of resources across the globe, be it digital, physical or biological, to enable circular economies of the future.”

Cole Crawford, CEO and founder of Vapor IO, said, “The momentum of the OGA and its rapid growth reinforce the need for Open Grid technologies and demonstrate the power of industry leaders collaborating to bring the Open Grid to life.

Benoit Pelletier, Director of Next Gen Ecosystems and Alliances at VMware, said, “Since its creation, the OGA has embraced technologies that distribute the economics and flexibility of the cloud from the network edge all the way to end users. Leveraging our diverse mix of members, we’re making it possible to build new classes of applications that support billions of intelligent devices, the data generated, and the new networking infrastructure needed for their operation.”

Eddie Ramirez, Vice President of Marketing, Infrastructure at Arm, said, “The Open Grid Alliance is enhancing Internet standards for the edge and together with industry leaders will play a key role in the pioneering effort. The growth within the organization is another proofpoint of how the OGA is pushing industry standards and boundaries.”

Our growth over the past year has resulted in a collaborative group of technology companies and innovators.”

Vish Nandlall, Vice President of Advanced Wireless Technologies at Dell Technologies, said, “The megatrend of mixing physical and digital, whether we call it IoT, digital twins or metaverse, will be underwritten by edge infrastructure, and Dell is committed to manifesting this future. We strongly believe the Open Grid has the potential to drive a new golden age of Internet growth.”
