# Decentralized Cloud Ecosystem

<figure><img src="/files/TGpnNCPUcRBYvOOJh8Bg" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

[Aethir Edge](https://www.myedge.io/), the hardware device, serves as the fundamental building block of the Aethir ecosystem. It's an enterprise-grade edge computing device equipped with a powerful GPU that contributes computing power and storage to the decentralized cloud network. The GPU capabilities enable the Edge to support demanding applications like AI, gaming, and more, enhancing the network's overall performance and efficiency.

[Aethir](https://aethir.com/) represents the broader decentralized cloud network where Aethir Edge devices operate. This network is designed to provide a robust and scalable platform for a wide array of applications, leveraging the distributed computing power and storage provided by the Edge devices.

Application Layer: The Aethir ecosystem is actively building a thriving application layer for its network. The [Aethir Edge app](/aethir-edge-app.md) is also live for our growing global community. Aethir Edge is currently building out a robust partner ecosystem, collaborating with various dePIN projects, game developers, AI innovators, and other entities to create a diverse and dynamic range of decentralized applications powered by the Aethir network.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.myedge.io/executive-summary/decentralized-cloud-ecosystem.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
