Scale Computing Honored with 2018 CRN® Tech Innovator Award
HC3 Cloud Unity Takes Top Honors in the 2018 Cloud Backup and Disaster Recovery Category
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Scale Computing, a market leader in edge computing and hyperconverged solutions, announced today that CRN,® a brand of The Channel Company, has recognized Scale Computing with a 2018 CRN Tech Innovator Award. These annual awards honor standout hardware, software, and services that are moving the IT industry forward. In compiling the 2018 Tech Innovator Award list, CRN editors evaluated 300 products across 34 technology categories using several criteria, including technological advancements, uniqueness of features and potential to help solution providers solve end users' IT challenges. Scale Computing and Google Cloud Platform's HC3 Cloud Unity was a finalist in the Cloud Backup and Disaster Recovery category.
With HC3 running both on-premises and in Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Cloud Unity creates a virtual LAN that seamlessly bridges an on-premise local LAN with the private virtual network on GCP. This allows IT organizations to connect to the cloud in real time from their on-premises infrastructure that combines storage, compute, and virtualization in a single solution. HC3 Cloud Unity combines the private cloud capabilities of Scale Computing's HC3 hyperconverged platform, SCRIBE software-defined-storage, and new SD-WAN capabilities with Google Compute Engine, the Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) offering for Google Cloud Platform. HC3 also leverages Google's recently released nested virtualization support.
"One of the biggest barriers to cloud adoption for IT organizations is the inability to move applications to and from the cloud," said Jeff Ready, CEO and co-founder of Scale Computing. "With HC3 Cloud Unity, it is simple for organizations, including channel partners and MSPs, to move application workloads freely in the cloud or on-premises. Now organizations no longer have to use or create different applications for the cloud."
"Each year, the CRN Tech Innovator Awards recognize technology vendor offerings that are reshaping the IT channel landscape by increasing worker productivity, reducing cost, and minimizing complexity for solution providers, IT departments, and end users," said Bob Skelley, CEO of The Channel Company. "The winners in this year's awards bring breakthrough ideas to the table for solution providers and their customers, in areas ranging from cloud to security to business intelligence to IoT. We congratulate all the winners and look forward to their future endeavors."
The Tech Innovator Awards will be featured in the December issue of CRN and can be viewed online at crn.com/techinnovators.
