Scale Computing Named a Top 5 VMware vSphere Alternative by the Data Center Intelligence Group

Independent analyst firm DCIG recognizes Scale Computing in its three 2024-25 reports

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Scale Computing, the market leader in edge computing, virtualization, and hyperconverged solutions, today announced the company has been named one of the Top 5 VMware Alternatives by the Data Center Intelligence Group (DCIG). Scale Computing was recognized in all three of the 2024-25 DCIG TOP 5 Enterprise VMware vSphere Alternatives reports, including Enterprise Global, Enterprise US, and SMB/Edge.

Broadcom's December 2023 announcement of sweeping changes to VMware licensing rocked the IT industry. The surprise shift to a subscription model and reduced licensing options have forced many organizations to reevaluate their virtualization platform due to the resulting higher costs and bundling of extraneous features. To help businesses make the best choice when seeking a VMware vSphere alternative, DCIG has released three new reports that provide enterprises with the top options for solutions offering more favorable licensing terms and features.

"Scale Computing has long delivered a scalable, reliable, and affordable virtualization solution for partners and their customers," stated Jeff Ready, CEO and co-founder of Scale Computing. "When Broadcom made the move to discontinue the VMware Partner Program, we stepped up to help partners navigate the industry upheaval with a superior solution and a transformative experience with Scale Computing Platform, our award-winning hyperconverged virtualization platform. We are proud to be recognized by independent analysts at DCIG as a VMware alternative and one of the leading virtualization solutions on the market."

DCIG provides independent assessments on various products, solutions, and enterprise technologies. The 2024-25 DCIG TOP 5 Enterprise VMware vSphere Alternatives reports evaluate 19 of the 25 different solutions available and provide guidance on the top five VMware alternatives that enterprises should consider as they address Broadcom's VMware licensing changes.
