Scale Computing, a market leader in edge computing, virtualization, and hyperconverged solutions, today announced it has been recognized by Gartner Inc. in the November 2021 Magic Quadrant for Hyperconverged Infrastructure Software.[1] Scale Computing has been recognized in all editions of this Magic Quadrant since its inception.
In the November 17, 2021 Critical Capabilities for Hyperconverged Infrastructure Software report, Gartner wrote: “The desire for increased simplicity, efficiency and agility, combined with hybrid cloud deployments and virtualization refresh cycles, is driving enterprises toward hyperconverged infrastructure” Further it states, “By 2026, over 45% of HCI units will be deployed at edge locations, which is a substantial increase from fewer than 15% in 2021.”[2]
“Scale Computing’s award-winning edge computing capabilities set us apart from our competitors in the HCI market. Our HC3 IT infrastructure platform eliminates complexity, lowers costs, and frees up management time, both in the traditional datacenter and at the edge,” said Jeff Ready, CEO and co-founder of Scale Computing. “Scale Computing’s IT infrastructure platform leverages our patented self-healing technology to maintain maximum uptime for applications and offers faster deployment, easier management and seamless scalability to grow as needed. This innovation is appreciated by customers at organizations of all sizes, across every vertical. We believe that it is an honor to be recognized for the fifth time in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Hyperconverged Infrastructure Software.”

Scale Computing HC3 : Where Have You Been All My Career?
“Scale’s HC3 Virtualization Platform is the Hypervisor that I’ve been waiting for and didn’t know it. Everything that you love about virtualized environments is here, and everything that you found unnecessary & cumbersome is gone! It is a very streamlined approach to virtualization with a single pane of glass that is incredibly easy to navigate. Manipulating of systems, setting backup & replication schedules, snapshots & recovery procedures are so easy to do that even the most novice of administrators or technicians can easily perform these tasks. Spinning up new servers or importing servers from another environment is also very easy with detailed instructions provided. Scaling out (pun intended) for future growth is as easy as plugging in and introducing another node to an existing environment. Sizing is very easy to determine, and the support is top notch! There is always a technician readily available and the online portal is very easy to use. Thank you Scale Computing for bringing us into the wonderful world of hyper-converged technologies!”
