Scale Computing Wins Best Midmarket Hardware Solution at Midsize Enterprise Summit

INDIANAPOLIS, IN--(Marketwired - May 16, 2016) - Scale Computing, the market leader in hyperconverged storage, server and virtualization solutions for midsized companies, was named the Best Midmarket Solution: Hardware of the Midsize Enterprise Summit XCellence Awards 2016 on May 3 in Indianapolis for its newly announced flash-integrated HC3 appliances.

Scale Computing was among the 60 top vendors at the Midsize Enterprise Summit demonstrating their cutting-edge products, services and new technology solutions designed to boost productivity and accelerate ROI. The MES XCellence Awards measure attendees' perceptions of sponsor products, services, and presentations during the event with top honors going to the companies who earned the most votes during the event.

The HC3 platform brings storage, servers, virtualization, and high availability together in a single, comprehensive system. With no virtualization software to license and no external storage to buy, HC3 solutions lower out-of-pocket costs and radically simplify the infrastructure needed to keep applications optimized and running. The integration of flash-enabled automated storage tiering into Scale's converged HC3 system adds hybrid storage including SSD and spinning disk with HyperCore Enhanced Automated Tiering (HEAT). Scale's HEAT technology uses a combination of built-in intelligence, data access patterns, and workload priority to automatically optimize data across disparate storage tiers within the cluster.

"We are pleased to have been recognized by attendees of this year's Midsize Enterprise Summit for having the best hardware solution for the midmarket," said Jeff Ready, CEO and co-founder of Scale Computing. "Our promise to provide customers with the ability to immediately and automatically leverage the benefits of flash capacity and performance without any special knowledge about flash storage is the perfect fit for organizations from the SMB through the mid-market. To have that message resonate so strongly at MES16 is a testament to our hardworking team that made it happen."

MES is a two-and-a-half day conference with the latest research, technology advancements and innovative best practices needed to build forward-looking IT strategies, offering midmarket IT decision makers with exclusive access to top vendors, analysts and an elite group of peers. Expertly curated content includes demonstrations of cutting-edge products, services and new technology solutions designed to boost productivity and accelerate ROI.
