Scale Computing

What began in 2007 as a vision to revolutionize IT infrastructure has blossomed into Scale Computing, a recognized leader in edge computing, virtualization, and hyperconverged solutions. Founded by Jeff Ready, Scott Loughmiller, and Ehren Maedge, the company set out with a simple yet ambitious goal: to change the way the industry thinks about IT infrastructure. The early days were focused on addressing the complexities and resource drains that traditional virtualized IT environments imposed on organizations, particularly small and mid-sized enterprises. This drive culminated in the 2012 launch of their flagship HC3 hyperconverged infrastructure, a platform that quickly gained traction for its simplicity, scalability, and high availability. The HC3 platform was engineered to integrate servers, storage, virtualization, and disaster recovery into a single, easy-to-manage appliance, effectively eliminating IT silos.

Scale Computing's journey has been one of continuous innovation, driven by a commitment to making IT infrastructure administration remarkably easy. Their patented HyperCore™ technology forms the backbone of their platform, providing a self-healing architecture that automatically identifies, mitigates, and corrects infrastructure problems in real-time. This ensures maximum application uptime, even in environments with scarce local IT resources. As the digital world's demands evolved, Scale Computing keenly observed the growing need for applications to run outside centralized data centers, closer to where data is generated and utilized – at the edge. Recognizing the shortcomings of traditional and cloud-based tools for managing distributed infrastructure, Scale Computing has strategically positioned itself as a frontrunner in the burgeoning edge computing market. Their solutions are designed to empower organizations to run applications and process data locally across numerous distributed sites, from retail locations to manufacturing floors, without the typical cost, complexity, and fragility. This focus on the edge, combined with their foundational strength in hyperconvergence and virtualization, continues to propel Scale Computing's growth, helping thousands of customers worldwide to do more with less.
