Scale Computing Recognized in Gartner Magic Quadrant for Hyperconverged Infrastructure Software for Fourth Year in a Row

INDIANAPOLIS – Dec. 15, 2020 – Scale Computing, a market leader in edge computing, virtualization and hyperconverged solutions, today announced that it has been recognized by Gartner Inc. in the Dec. 2020 Magic Quadrant for Hyperconverged Infrastructure Software. Scale Computing has been recognized in all editions of this Magic Quadrant since Gartner introduced it.

 

In the report, Gartner wrote, “HCI software stacks support software-defined infrastructure that spans compute, storage, networking and management. I&O leaders should regard HCI software as a technology that addresses requirements related to the core IT, business-critical, cloud, edge and virtual desktop infrastructure use cases.”

“Scale Computing’s edge computing capabilities are what set us apart from our competitors in the HCI market. Our software is an autonomous, self-healing, integrated platform for running applications at the edge or in the data center,” said Jeff Ready, CEO and co-founder, Scale Computing. “We engineer our IT infrastructure platform to be simple to manage and maintain while leveraging our patented self-healing technology to maintain maximum uptime for applications. This innovation is appreciated by customers at organizations of all sizes, in every vertical. It is an honor to be recognized again in this year’s Gartner Magic Quadrant for Hyperconverged Infrastructure Software.”

 

Scale Computing has also been reviewed and rated by customers on Gartner Peer Insights.

Specifically, Scale Computing customers said:

  • “A great system that helps manage all our systems ranging from servers, virtualization, storage, etc. in one single platform. It is very user friendly with a clear interface, one does not need that much training to learn how it works. ” – Telecom Support Officer, Communications Industry
  • “Scale Computing has been excellent to work with from pre-sales to implementation. The setup of the Scale clusters was very easy. We have been using it for a few years now and we have had no downtime and the speed of our systems are excellent.”- IT Manager in Manufacturing Industry
  • “Our Scale cluster withstood the Minneapolis riot of 2020 when they actually burned the store down around the units. Scale kept working until our generator ran out of fuel, shutting down the power feed.” – Director of IT, Retail Industry

This news follows exciting award wins for the company, including:

  • HE150, powered by Scale Computing’s HC3 Edge software platform, is a winner in the CRN 2020 Product of the Year Awards in the Internet of Things category
  • Listed in Inc’s 1000 Largest and Most Inspiring Private Companies
  • Winner in both the Edge Computing category, newly added this year, and the Converged/ HyperConverged Infrastructure category, of the 2020 CRN Annual Report Card (ARC) Awards. This is the second consecutive year Scale Computing has been recognized as a CRN ARC Award winner.

Scale Computing believes that it is the top choice over its competitors for many customers due to the simplicity, efficiency and innovation of Scale Computing HC3. Specifically:

  • Simplicity – Scale Computing customers rave about how simple it is to implement and deploy HC3. The simplicity of the self-healing platform, driven by automation and machine intelligence, allows Scale Computing customers to focus on other strategic projects rather than infrastructure maintenance.
  • Efficiency – Scale Computing HC3 software eliminates the need for traditional virtualization software, disaster recovery software, servers, and shared storage, replacing these with a fully integrated, highly available system for running applications.
  • Innovation – Using patented HyperCore™ technology, the HC3 self-healing platform automatically identifies, mitigates, and corrects problems in the infrastructure in real-time, enabling applications to achieve maximum uptime even when local IT resources and staff are scarce. This innovation makes HC3 simple for IT teams to manage and administer.

ESET launches renovated cloud-based endpoint security management solution for businesses of all sizes

BRATISLAVA – ESET, a global leader in cybersecurity, has today announced the launch of its new endpoint security management platform, ESET PROTECT, in selected countries. The new solution brings easy and automated management of ESET’s wide portfolio of security solutions with two deployment options: on-premises and cloud. ESET PROTECT Cloud is the new cornerstone for security management in ESET’s cloud-based business offering, capable of catering to organizations of all sizes.

The introduction of ESET PROTECT Cloud reflects the well-recognized shift in the security landscape from on-premises security software solutions to cloud-based services. ESET recognizes that many businesses are moving toward a “cloud first” approach, so a security software offering that aligns with this strategy is essential.

ESET PROTECT Cloud provides a cloud-based console for managing ESET security solutions deployed in a network with real-time visibility into both on-premises and off-premises endpoints. The console allows IT administrators to deploy ESET security solutions, execute tasks, enforce security policies, monitor system status, and quickly respond to problems or detections on managed endpoints across all platforms, including desktops, servers, virtual machines, and even mobile devices. In addition to integration for security information and event management (SIEM) tools, comprehensive reporting, and a fully customizable notification system, ESET PROTECT Cloud allows IT administrators to take immediate action against incidents.

The console allows users to manage existing ESET products, including ESET Endpoint Security, ESET Dynamic Threat Defense, and ESET Full Disk Encryption. Customers of ESET Cloud Administrator will be automatically and seamlessly upgraded to ESET PROTECT Cloud from launch day.

To ensure businesses of all sizes are equipped with the right solutions, ESET is offering a selection of subscriptions tailored to the specific business needs of home offices, small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), managed services providers (MSPs)* and enterprises. For the full set of ESET’s subscriptions, please check the table below.

All business subscriptions include either an on-premises endpoint management solution (ESET PROTECT; formerly ESET Security Management Center) or a cloud-based one (ESET PROTECT Cloud), along with ESET Endpoint Security by default. For customers looking only for email security, ESET will also offer an ESET PROTECT Mail Plus subscription.

The ESET PROTECT Advanced subscription was designed with the needs of SMBs and MSPs in mind. Providing endpoint protection against ransomware and zero-day threats, and data protection via full disk encryption, the subscription meets the challenge of managing and protecting corporate networks in the face of evolving threats.

The ESET PROTECT Enterprise subscription is geared toward large organizations, where deep visibility and rigorous security requirements are essential. The subscription offers the highest value for mature enterprise customers with one of the most powerful endpoint detection and response solutions on the market – ESET Enterprise Inspector, currently manageable only from ESET PROTECT. By providing rule-based detection of suspicious events happening on endpoints, as well as threat hunting and remediation capabilities, this subscription ensures that emerging threats, risky employee behavior, and unwanted applications are not putting organizations at risk.

Ignacio Sbampato, Chief Business Officer at ESET, commented, “We are thrilled to offer solution for businesses of all sizes that are implementing a ‘cloud-first’ strategy for their IT security. ESET PROTECT Cloud is the culmination of listening to shifting business needs, keeping our fingers on the pulse of the cybersecurity landscape, and improving on our multilayered security solutions. At ESET, we are passionate about safer technology for all, and that means that businesses of all shapes and sizes must be equipped with cutting-edge, tailored solutions to keep their employees and data safe and secure.”
