PRESIDIO

Research

The research
behind the catalog.

The engineering decisions in the PRESIDIO catalog are backed by two decades of peer-reviewed research on cloud governance, performance guarantees, distributed systems, and industrial IoT.

Thesis

Research lines map to products.

Each product in the catalog grew out of a research question that has published answers. Governance frameworks behind the assessment tools. SLA and dependability theory behind architectural transparency. Blockchain and distributed coordination behind agentic payments. Fog and IoT behind the industrial libraries.
