Scale Computing, the leading provider of hyperconverged solutions,
announced the expansion of their international offices in EMEA and the United Kingdom
with several new executive hires and aggressive partner and customer
adoption programs. The international offices have seen enormous revenue
and customer increases in the past five years, necessitating the need to
expand its overseas operations. Scale Computing will be showing the HC3
Platform at IP EXPO in London at Stand E7 on October 7th and 8th.
The award-winning Hyperconverged Platform (HC3) from Scale Computing
has been a windfall, garnering channel partnership wins worldwide, as
well as robust adoption from its small-to-midsized business
customer-base. The larger international presence in EMEA and UK will
accommodate Scale Computing's expanded management team and fast-growing
technical staff for the design and operations of its solutions.
"I'm very excited about this opportunity in EMEA and Canada as it mirrors Scale Computing's expanding operations in the US marketplace," said Jeff Ready,
CEO and Co-founder of Scale Computing. "With hyperconvergence emerging
as the wave of the future, Scale Computing and its cutting-edge
hyperconverged technology for the mid-market is well poised to thrive
and grow."
In line
with its increased sales and partners, Scale Computing EMEA's
headquarters continue to expand its management and selected
industry-veteran Simon Marrion to head up the United Kingdom
and EMEA offices. Under Marrion's leadership, the UK and EMEA offices
will continue their growth momentum and the nurturing of their partner
eco-system. Marrion has a 20-year track record of building two-tier
channels in EMEA for storage and networking vendors. Prior to joining
the company, he was a Regional Channel Sales Manager at Seagate and
Lantronix.
In addition to Marrion, Scale announced the hiring of two more executives to the EMEA office: Ian Smith as Scale Computing's EMEA Technical Manager as well as Leonard Powers as EMEA Systems engineer. Additional new hires will be announced in the near future.
