Scale Computing Named in 2024 Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Data Center Infrastructure Technologies

INDIANAPOLIS – September 18, 2024 — Scale Computing, a market leader in edge computing, virtualization, and hyperconverged solutions, today announced it has been recognized as a Sample Vendor in the 2024 Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Data Center Infrastructure Technologies. We feel this acknowledgment underscores Scale Computing’s commitment to delivering innovative solutions that address the evolving needs of modern data centers.

As organizations increasingly embrace digital transformation, the demand for efficient, resilient, and sustainable data center infrastructure has never been greater. Gartner says, “By 2028, 40% of data center infrastructure will be managed through a cloud-based control plane, an increase from less than 15% in 2023. By 2028, more than 70% of enterprises will alter their data center strategies, due to limited energy supplies, a major increase from less than 5% in 2023.” The Gartner Hype Cycle report highlights the latest innovations designed to help IT leaders enhance business technology platforms and achieve these goals by devising sustainable, secure, scalable, agile, and resilient data center infrastructure at an acceptable cost.

“Scale Computing has long been dedicated to developing innovative solutions that empower businesses to meet their goals in an increasingly complex IT environment,” stated Jeff Ready, CEO and co-founder of Scale Computing. “We are honored to be recognized as a Sample Vendor in the 2024 Gartner Hype Cycle for Data Center Infrastructure Technologies, which provides a valuable framework for IT leaders to understand new technologies and their potential impact on their businesses. To us, this recognition validates our dedication to providing cutting-edge solutions that empower businesses to optimize their data center operations and drive digital innovation.”

Scale Computing Platform brings together simplicity and scalability, replacing existing infrastructure to empower enterprises to run applications and process data outside centralized data centers, at the edge of their networks, closest to where data is created and utilized. With Scale Computing Fleet Manager, the industry’s first cloud-hosted monitoring and management tool built for hyperconverged edge computing infrastructure at scale, customers can quickly identify areas of concern using a single pane of glass, scaling from 1 to over 50,000 clusters. Zero-touch provisioning enables administrators to centrally monitor and manage hundreds or thousands of distributed edge infrastructure deployments with minimal or no on-site IT personnel.

Gartner Hype Cycle reports provide a visual depiction of the maturity and adoption of applications and technologies, providing business leaders with a roadmap for understanding how these technologies are expected to evolve over time. ​​The reports offer insights into the potential of emerging technologies within industries, allowing enterprises to assess their risk tolerance on an individual basis. IT leaders can leverage Hype Cycle reports to uncover the real drivers of a technology’s commercial promise, reduce the risk of technology investment decisions, and assess a technology’s business value objectively based on data from experienced IT analysts. The latest report covers the five phases in the Hype Cycle: Technology Trigger, Peak of Inflated Expectations, Trough of Disillusionment, Slope of Enlightenment, and Plateau of Productivity.

Enhancing Multi-Cloud Management Across Azure, Anthos, and the Edge with SC//Platform

Too many IT leaders have learned the hard way that putting all of their IT eggs in one cloud can be a literal recipe for disaster — which is why more and more organizations are increasingly adopting multi-cloud strategies to diversify their risk exposure, enhance resilience, and leverage the unique strengths of different cloud providers. This approach not only helps to avoid vendor lock-in, but also ensures that critical applications and data remain available even if one cloud service experiences disruptions. While the utilization of multiple cloud environments offers numerous benefits, managing these different cloud environments comes with its own challenges.

At Scale Computing, we understand the complexities of multi-cloud environments and are committed to providing solutions that simplify and enhance cloud management. At last year’s Platform//2024 event in Las Vegas, Scale Computing’s Dave Demlow, VP of Product Strategy, and Criag Theriac, VP of Product Management, took the stage to discuss multi-cloud management with the SC//Platform. In this post, we’ll recap their presentation and show you how SC//Platform’s seamless integration with major cloud providers, including Microsoft Azure, Google Anthos, and Amazon Web Services (AWS), can dramatically improve the efficiency and resilience of your IT infrastructure.

Managing Multi-Cloud

A multi-cloud strategy involves distributing workloads across various cloud service providers. In doing so, organizations can mitigate the risk of service outages and ensure business continuity. A multi-cloud strategy also enables increased flexibility and cost optimization, allowing organizations to cherry-pick services across different platforms that best align with their specific needs. However, a multi-cloud approach does come with increased complexities. Coordinating workloads across diverse cloud environments demands sophisticated management and orchestration tools. Ensuring consistent security policies, compliance standards, and governance across different cloud environments can also be more challenging. Further, the potential for increased operational complexity and the need for skilled personnel can lead to higher operational costs. To fully realize the benefits of a multi-cloud strategy, businesses must find a way to successfully navigate these challenges.

Streamlining Multi-Cloud Management with Scale Computing Platform

SC//Platform delivers cloud-like simplicity, high availability, and scalability integrated within a self-healing platform for autonomously running applications in remote data centers or at the edge of your network closest to where data is being generated. The solution consists of SC//HyperCore, a complete software stack for on-premises autonomous IT infrastructure management, and SC//Fleet Manager, which provides centralized monitoring, management, and orchestration of your remote environments, ensuring consistent performance across all sites with minimal human intervention.

SC//Platform offers a comprehensive edge solution for managing and deploying resources across multi-cloud environments. Designed to simplify management, it ensures that your IT services, whether at the edge or in the cloud, work harmoniously together. Here’s how SC//Platform improves multi-cloud management:

Unified Management Across Cloud Providers
