INDIANAPOLIS – November 8 2023 — Scale Computing, a market leader in edge computing, virtualization, and hyperconverged solutions, today announced that the company has been recognized with three TrustRadius Best of Awards in the Hyper-Converged Infrastructure category. Scale Computing received awards for Best Feature Set, Best Relationship, and Best Value for Price.

TrustRadius is a leading independent research and review platform that provides comprehensive, vetted product information and customer-generated reviews, recognizing top technology solutions based on user feedback. To win a Best of Award, nominees must have received at least ten reviews between January and September 2023, ensuring an accurate gauge of recent customer sentiment. The awards honor the few companies that have gone above and beyond in user satisfaction based on key insight statistics related to value, feature set, and customer relationships. To win, vendors must be ranked in the top three per award type in their technology category.

Scale Computing, whose solutions enable IT managers to run applications and process data outside centralized data centers, at the edge of a network closest to where that data is created and utilized, was named the first-place winner in all three Best of Award categories. Earlier this year, the company announced it also earned multiple TrustRadius Top Rated Awards in the categories of Hyperconverged Infrastructure, Server Virtualization, and Edge Computing.

“We are truly honored that Scale Computing is yet again the recipient of the TrustRadius Best of Awards for value, feature set, and customer relationships,” said Jeff Ready, CEO and co-founder, Scale Computing. “We are dedicated to delivering leading IT infrastructure and edge computing solutions that not only meet but exceed the expectations of our customers. The TrustRadius awards are especially meaningful because the recognition has to be earned through genuine positive feedback from users. These awards fuel our passion to continue innovating and providing unparalleled value and service to our partners and customers.”

A TrustRadius review of Scale Computing summarizes a common sentiment: “Scale Computing is our number one recommended hypervisor platform and becomes the backbone of our clients’ IT infrastructure. When selecting Scale Computing for clients we look at overall cost savings, ease of use and scalability. We implement Scale Computing for clients that have as little as 5 users to clients that have over 8000 users! With the ease of use it takes the burden off of the IT department for both the hypervisor and backups. Our clients can sleep better at night and can ‘Set it and forget it.’”

The TrustRadius Best of Awards help customers cut through the sea of products and allow the best to shine through. “Scale Computing Platform has achieved a remarkable feat, securing first place in all three awards in the Hyper-Converged Infrastructure category,” declared Megan Headley, VP of research at TrustRadius. “Scale Computing Platform’s recognition is entirely based on customer feedback. Customers emphasize their satisfaction with the feature set, confirm that the product lives up to sales and marketing promises, and provides outstanding value for the price.”

INDIANAPOLIS – November 6, 2023 — Scale Computing, a market leader in edge computing, virtualization, and hyperconverged solutions, today announced that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Scale Computing to its 2023 Edge Computing 100 list. The fourth-annual list highlights the key vendors providing channel partners with the technology to construct next-generation edge solutions that ultimately bring data collection and processing closer to users. The award categories encompass Edge Hardware, Edge Software and Services; IoT and 5G Edge Services; and Edge Security.

With the increasing significance of business intelligence and data analytics, the ability to swiftly gather and process such data close to the source is emerging as a crucial distinguishing factor for businesses of all magnitudes. Simultaneously, the necessity to expand corporate networks to encompass a larger number of remote and hybrid workers intensifies the importance of securing the edge.

“Today’s ever-expanding digital world demands that more and more applications run outside of the cloud or data center, closer to where they are used. But managing this sprawl of complex infrastructure running applications in distributed locations creates an escalating burden on IT departments,” said Jeff Ready, CEO and Co-founder, Scale Computing. “Scale Computing Platform allows IT managers to run applications and process data outside centralized data centers, at the edge of a network closest to where that data is created and utilized. We’re proud to be included on this year’s CRN Edge Computing 100 list as we continue to provide the most innovative edge computing and hyperconverged solutions to our partners and their customers.”

Scale Computing Platform (SC//Platform) brings simplicity, high availability, and scalability together, replacing the existing infrastructure for running VMs in a single, easy-to-manage platform. SC//Fleet Manager allows users to centrally monitor and manage hundreds or thousands of distributed edge infrastructure deployments with few or no on-site IT personnel. The award-winning SC//HyperCore software delivers on-premises edge computing with high availability and disaster recovery to remote locations at an affordable entry-level cost. All SC//Hardware can be deployed quickly, managed locally or remotely, and can self-heal almost instantly. Scale Computing provides the benefits of affordable edge computing infrastructure without sacrificing reliability, ease of deployment, and ease of use.

“The 2023 Edge Computing 100 list presents a remarkable occasion for CRN to acknowledge pioneering vendors who are providing the technology to construct distinctive edge solutions,” said Jennifer Follett, VP, U.S Content, Executive Editor, CRN The Channel Company. “These companies enable channel partners to help customers operate more efficiently and derive maximum value from their data. We extend our congratulations to all those who have been honored on this year’s list.”

The 2023 Edge Computing 100 list will be featured in a special November issue of CRN Magazine and online at crn.com/edge100. To learn more about the SC//Platform and edge computing, visit scalecomputing.com/edge-computing.

INDIANAPOLIS – October 24, 2023 – Scale Computing, a market leader in edge computing, virtualization, and hyperconverged solutions, today announced its Business Continuity/Disaster Recovery (BCDR) Planning Service, designed to help organizations establish a comprehensive, regulated plan for responding to unforeseen downtime. The service provides Scale Computing customers and partners with the tools, guidance, and resources to create a playbook for data backup and recovery, enabling businesses to endure a disaster scenario with minimal loss.

Scale Computing also recently announced that it is a finalist for the Business Continuity/Disaster Recovery Project of the Year in the 2023 SDC Awards for its work with Austrian managed service provider GiGaNet and its long-time partner the Zillertaler Gletscherbahn group. Voting for the SDC Awards is open at sdcawards.com/vote until November 10th, 2023.

Data breaches are one of the biggest and most costly contributors to downtime for businesses. In 2023, the average cost of a data breach globally reached an all-time high of $4.45 million, a 15.3% increase from 2020. Simultaneously, the average length of business disruption following a ransomware attack in the United States reached 24 days last year, up 60% from just two years prior — a significant increase when downtime costs exceed $300,000 per hour for over 90% of mid-sized and large enterprises. For more than half of those businesses, the hourly outage costs range from $1 million to over $5 million. Recovery from an outage adds additional expense from which many enterprises are unable to bounce back.

“Disaster can strike at any time, and every organization needs a consistently regulated playbook for how the business will respond — from action plans to recovery plans for bringing online the mission-critical servers businesses depend on,” said Jeff Ready, CEO and co-founder, Scale Computing. “Knowing what systems need to be protected, planning for the ability to recover them, and having a full action plan for recovery should be at the forefront of every IT department’s agenda, at the beginning of any infrastructure addition. With Scale Computing Platform, the plan for disaster recovery starts before equipment is even put into production, so IT leaders have a plan in place from day one that they can enact to ensure their business stays up and running, with minimal loss, should disaster strike. Our Business Continuity/Disaster Recovery Planning Service enables businesses to proactively classify systems based on their importance and implement a robust action plan, ensuring that our customers’ and partners’ critical systems are protected, validated, tested, and ready for recovery at any time.”

Whether a minor data loss or a business-wide shutdown, having a well-defined business continuity strategy is crucial to minimize financial impact, ensure continuous employee productivity, meet compliance and regulatory requirements, decrease liability obligations, reduce downtime, and minimize the risk of negative exposure. Scale Computing’s BCDR Planning Service includes planning, deployment, documentation creation, and disaster recovery testing, covering every aspect to keep businesses prepared and resilient. The service is offered to Scale Computing Platform customers, which brings simplicity, high availability, and scalability together to replace existing infrastructure for running virtual machines with an easy-to-manage, fully integrated platform that allows organizations to run applications regardless of hardware requirements.
