Vapor IO and VMware announced the Open Grid Alliance, an industry alliance that will define and accelerate the Open Grid, an evolutionary rearchitecting of the internet.

"The internet was built from the core out. Now we need to rebuild it from the edge in," said Cole Crawford, founder and CEO of edge infrastructure company Vapor IO. "The alliance will accelerate a decades-long journey of innovation at all levels of the stack, from fiber optics to workload automation. We want to align thought leaders, technologies and investments to bring forth applications that simply cannot be delivered on the internet we have today."

"The Open Grid is for everybody; it will only emerge from deep industry collaborations, and that's why we formed the Open Grid Alliance."

"DriveNets disrupted networking by building networks like cloud. We are now excited to extend this work by teaming up with this great group of visionaries and form the Open Grid Alliance to rearchitect the internet."

"The ability to provision network routes on demand will play a critical role. We're proud to support the Open Grid Alliance in its efforts to bring together multiple industries to architect the most affordable infrastructure that connects users and devices to clouds and private network interconnections."

To increase the diversity of viewpoints, the Open Grid Alliance welcomes members from the technology industry, academia, and public institutions.
