Scale Computing Wins Sixth-Straight Vendor Excellence Award for Best Midmarket Strategy

INDIANAPOLIS, IN--(Marketwired - April 21, 2016) - Scale Computing, the leader in hyperconverged storage, server, and virtualization solutions for midsized companies, announced today it has won the Vendor Excellence Award for Best Midmarket Strategy, presented at the recent Midmarket CIO Forum by Boardroom Events. This is the 6^th straight year for Scale Computing to win in this award category, having been honored in both Spring and Fall 2015 as well.

Presented at Boardroom Events' Spring 2016 Midmarket CIO Forum and Midmarket CMO Forum in Orlando, Florida, the Awards of Excellence recognize powerful partnerships between vendors and midmarket organizations that deliver measurable value to the overall business. In addition to its three-peat in the Midmarket Strategy category, Scale was previously recognized with the Best Emerging Midmarket Solution at the Fall 2014 event.

"Being recognized for this award at this venue is a tremendous honor since the midmarket is often such an overlooked business segment," said Jeff Ready, CEO and co-founder of Scale Computing. "This is a market where IT departments are spread thin supporting the infrastructure and the critical applications running those environments in addition to the day-to-day help desk support. To now be named for Best Strategy three straight times shows that our approach to bringing the benefits of simplicity, availability and scalability through our HC3 hyperconverged architecture to satisfy the requirements of this market is spot on. We are grateful for this honor and look forward to continuing our efforts helping those in the midmarket overcome their IT challenges."
