About Staex 

The startup Staex envisions a world in which the computing power of every machine is 100% utilized and we enter the era of a zero-waste IT infrastructure. That's why the team is building the Staex platform, which offers a complete solution for efficient networking and distributed DevOps-as-a-Service. Staex is a clean-tech software that enables distributed islands of IT networks to communicate with each other, sharing services between multiple partners and orchestration from any node in the network. They already have these capabilities and will be particularly relevant in the IoT environment in the future.
