Scale Computing announced a collaboration with IBM that will help organizations adopt an edge computing strategy
designed to enable them to move data and applications seamlessly across hybrid
cloud environments, from private data centers to the edge. Scale Computing is
delivering on-premises edge computing solutions for applications that are
designed to be flexible and intelligent to help address high-availability and
resilience.
A recent IBM Institute for
Business Value report, "Why
organizations are betting on edge computing: Insights from the edge," revealed that 91% of the 1,500 executives surveyed
indicated that their organizations plan to implement edge computing strategies
within five years. IBM Edge Application Manager, an autonomous management
solution that runs on Red Hat OpenShift, enables the secured deployment,
continuous operations and remote management of AI, analytics, and IoT enterprise
workloads to deliver real-time analysis and insights at scale.
"We see that the periphery of
storage and compute has undergone transformational changes on so many fronts
over the last 18 months - from employee and customer health and safety, supply
chain challenges, to shifting product demands, to being an increasing target of
cyber-attacks," said Jeff Ready, CEO and co-founder of Scale Computing. "We
believe that Edge computing is critical for the future of many organizations,
and organizations of all sizes across all industries can take steps now to help
simplify the deployment and management of localized compute infrastructure in a
secure and resilient manner. We are excited to team our HC3 Edge Computing
solutions with IBM Edge Application Manager in an effort to help organizations
optimize their operations across the globe with infrastructure designed to be
self-healing and automated, as well as added containerized application
management that can help them grow into the new reality of edge computing."

Computing solutions are designed to provide customers with an autonomous
infrastructure that can run modern containerized applications alongside legacy
applications as virtual machines. This can help users centrally monitor and
manage their fleet of distributed infrastructure and applications through the
entire lifecycle-from deployment and maintenance updates to service level
monitoring and problem remediation.
"We look forward to
collaborating with Scale Computing to help clients deploy, operate and manage
thousands of endpoints throughout their operations with IBM Edge Application
Manager," said Evarisitus Mainsah, GM, IBM Hybrid Cloud and Edge Ecosystem.
"Together, we can help enterprises accelerate their digital transformation by
acting on insights closer to where their data is being created, at the edge."
Scale Computing is part of
IBM's partner ecosystem made up of more than 30 equipment manufacturers,
networking, IT & software providers to implement open standards-based
cloud-native solutions that can autonomously manage edge applications at scale.
IBM's partner ecosystem fuels hybrid cloud environments by helping clients
manage and modernize workloads from bare-metal to multicloud and everything in
between with Red Hat OpenShift, the industry's leading enterprise Kubernetes
platform.
