Distributed Training Architecture
Last Updated by Alex Rochira on February 26th, 2026.
Overview
In this document we outline the requirements for a Distributed Training architecture.
For Edgify's Distributed Training architecture - Both Inference and Training are hosted by the edge device. The Cross-site Collaborator will be installed on an external device (low resources needed).

Loss Prevention - Distributed Training Architecture Requirements
Edgify does not support distributed training for Loss Prevention at this time. Please reach out to your Sales Engineer for more information.
Network Ports Considerations
Edge Device Ports
| Port | Direction | Source | Destination | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TCP 443 (HTTPS) | Outbound | Edge Devices on the store network | Edgify’s Dashboard (35.186.251.17) | Edgify’s Dashboard |
| TCP 443 (HTTPS) | Outbound | Edge Devices on the store network | Edgify’s Docker Container Repository (For Linux Devices) | |
| TCP 1555* (WebSocket) | Outbound | Edge Devices on the store network | Cross-site collaborator (35.189.254.156) | * Edge devices communicate with each other locally across port 15555 |
| TCP 1555* (WebSocket) | Outbound | Edge Devices on the store network | Other Edgify devices on the network* | * Edge devices communicate with each other locally across port 15555 |
| TCP 22 (SSH) | Inbound | Remote access method (VPN, jump-server, etc.) | Edgify devices on the store network | Edgify Agent maintenance |
