Scale Computing Platform's unmatched capabilities and ecosystem partners empower distributed enterprises anywhere in the world and across all verticals to embrace the future of edge computing, driving efficiency, compliance, and profitability," said Jeff Ready, CEO and co-founder of Scale Computing.

With no sign of slowing down, we're welcoming record numbers of new customers and new partners who will continue to drive growth into 2025 and beyond."

The company continues to expand in key vertical markets, including the retail industry. Scale Computing recently announced new edge computing customer Royal Farms, operator of fast and friendly neighborhood convenience stores with 260 locations throughout Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and New Jersey. The company is transforming the landscape of IT infrastructure in the retail sector by delivering a single platform for unparalleled performance, reliability, and ease of use for the deployment, management, and growth of on-premises applications like POS, IoT, pump monitoring, video surveillance, and customer experience.
