The Open Infrastructure Foundation has announced that Cachengo, a leader in decentralized AI, compute, and storage, has joined as its newest Platinum Member to help accelerate the adoption of open source infrastructure for AI, machine learning, and edge-native applications.

Founded by Ash Young (ex-Mylex, VA-Linux, Huawei), Cachengo develops intelligent edge storage and compute nodes designed to minimize reliance on centralized data centers and support real-time analytics across industries like smart cities and industrial automation.

As a Platinum Member, Cachengo will contribute to OpenInfra-hosted projects such as OpenStack—with a roadmap prioritizing components like Nova, Swift, Ironic, and Neutron. Future plans include support for Keystone, Horizon, and Cinder, alongside active contributions to AI-driven edge applications.

“Cachengo is committed to enabling a decentralized future,” said Ash Young, CEO of Cachengo. “Open source plays a key role in making that vision real. As we expand our portfolio of edge-native solutions that blend compute and storage, partnering with the OpenInfra Foundation allows us to contribute meaningfully to the community and build on proven technologies like OpenStack. We are thrilled to support and collaborate with OpenInfra to ensure open source thrives at the edge.”

“Cachengo represents the innovation we’re needing at the intersection of AI, storage and edge infrastructure,” said Thierry Carrez, general manager of the OpenInfra Foundation. “Their unique approach to smart storage and edge compute hardware combined with OpenInfra software strongly aligns with our vision of open infrastructure being used everywhere – from hyperscale data centers to the outermost edge. We’re excited to welcome them as a Platinum Member.”

Cachengo joins over 560 organizations supporting OpenInfra, including Microsoft, Huawei, Ericsson, and Wind River, all united in advancing open source software for production.
