Combined offering accelerates the company’s edge computing and network convergence strategy
Scale Computing™, the leader in edge computing and network solutions, today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Adaptiv Networks, a leading cloud-native Software-Defined Wide-Area Network (SD-WAN) and Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) provider. The acquisition will extend Scale Computing’s SC//AcuVigil™ managed network solutions with integrated SD-WAN connectivity, advanced network performance optimization, and centralized orchestration across distributed environments. It will also expand the company’s market position in Canada.
“Distributed organizations depend on applications being available everywhere work happens — and that requires reliable, secure connectivity and always-on visibility,” said Bill Morrow, CEO of Scale Computing. “By bringing Adaptiv Networks into Scale Computing, we are strengthening our technology platforms with industry leading SD-WAN and SASE capabilities. This will enable our partners and customers to experience secure, agile network connections which will be seamlessly integrated with our managed networking and edge computing software and services.”
Adaptiv Networks’ cloud-native SD-WAN and SASE solutions simplify WAN management and boost performance, security, and reliability across organizations. Whether deploying enterprise SD-WAN, business cloud connectivity, or remote VPN access, the platform ensures optimized network security and cloud productivity without the complexity, ideal for both growing businesses with limited IT resources and distributed enterprises. Scale Computing and Adaptiv Networks will bring together a combined customer base of 9,000+ customers, including leading brands across QSR, restaurants, retail, and other distributed industries globally.
“The Adaptiv Networks mission is to help businesses regain control of their networks by improving reliability, quality, manageability, and security,” said Bernard Breton, CEO, Adaptiv Networks. “Both companies share a strong focus on building innovative technology that is efficient and effective. By combining Adaptiv’s SD-WAN and SASE capabilities with Scale Computing’s managed network services and edge computing platforms, partners gain an expanded portfolio to deliver simpler, more resilient networking, and businesses benefit from secure connectivity that scales across distributed environments. Our team at Adaptiv is excited to join with Scale Computing.”
Scale Computing expects to begin offering Adaptiv Networks solutions immediately, both as a standalone offering and as part of a bundled managed networking platform through Scale Computing’s channel partner ecosystem. Adaptiv Networks’ Connect and Elfiq family of SD-WAN solutions will be marketed under the brand SC//Connect™. This is in addition to Scale Computing’s current portfolio:
