Scale Computing, a market
leader in edge computing, virtualization, and hyperconverged solutions, today
announced record revenue for the first quarter of 2024, increasing sales by 35
percent YoY from Q1 2023. Increased partner and customer demand for new
virtualization and edge computing solutions drove the record growth. The
company also announced that Don Aquilano has joined as Chief
Administrative Officer.
"We have seen a seismic shift in demand for both enterprise edge
computing and alternative virtualization platforms generally, resulting in
record inbound interest and pipeline growth. This is unlike anything I've seen
in my career. The Q1 results put us on a trajectory to exceed 50 percent
year-to-year revenue growth in 2024," said Jeff Ready, CEO and co-founder of
Scale Computing. "We've stayed true to our core values of being a channel-first
organization, and as a result, we saw the highest percentage of revenue ever
from our channel partners. We continue to offer partners and end-customers the
innovative and resilient IT solutions they need in today's dynamic market."
In
Q1, the company also launched two exclusive promotions for VMware partners and
customers looking for new virtualization solutions. Current and new partners
looking to switch customers to Scale Computing can participate in the VMware Rip & Replace promotion and receive a 25%
discount on Scale Computing software and services for each new customer
implementation. VMware customers looking for an alternative with no-cost
coverage for their remaining contract terms can participate in the Seamless Switch Program. Additionally, Scale
Computing launched Scale Computing Showcase, offering
partners and their customers open access to trial the Scale Computing Platform
solutions suite.
Scale Computing welcomed Don Aquilano as the company's new Chief
Administrative Officer. With decades of experience as a venture capitalist,
Aquilano has a deep understanding of the supply chain, operations, and how to
structure both long term and short term financial deals. Previously, Don held
positions at HP, Diageo, and the Boston Consulting Group and has been a lead
investor, advisor, and board member with Scale Computing since 2009.
"We're thrilled to have Don in a more substantial role as part of
the Scale Computing team. His extensive finance and operations experience will
help us as we continue our strong growth," said Ready.
