Scale Computing, a market leader in edge computing, virtualization, and hyperconverged solutions, today announced its new campaign targeting outdated, 'zombie-like' infrastructure and calling on organizations to learn more about Scale Computing Platform's (SC//Platform) future-ready solutions. Between now and November 4, 2023, end users in North America and Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) can register for the company's free Zombie Apocalypse Essentials Kit, containing a water bottle, lantern, and powerbank.
"IT managers are increasingly dealing with unreliable, inflexible, and inefficient systems. Instead of being haunted by outdated and traditional infrastructure, we invite users to learn more about Scale Computing and our Scale Computing Platform. SC//Platform brings together simplicity and scalability, replacing existing outdated infrastructure and providing high availability for running workloads in a single, easy-to-manage platform, while leveraging our patented self-healing technology to maintain maximum uptime for all applications," said Jeff Ready, CEO and co-founder of Scale Computing.

As cyberattacks become more sophisticated, maintaining modern infrastructure with a powerful cybersecurity stance is key to keeping critical business applications and data secured. Scale Computing's campaign aims to help businesses fortify their defenses against the three blood-thirsty 'zombies' that commonly haunt outdated, traditional three-tier infrastructure
Dreadful Downtime — an unreliable network that causes unexpected and expensive downtime for an organization
Mangled Management — disparate technology systems, managed across multiple platforms, that make upgrades, patching, and overall management unnecessarily time- consuming
Creeping Complexity — old and outdated systems across multiple locations that make scaling overly complicated
SC//Platform provides infrastructure that is simple, secure, scalable, and reliable. With SC//Fleet Manager, the industry's first cloud-hosted monitoring and management tool built for hyperconverged edge computing infrastructure at scale, customers can quickly identify areas of concern using a single pane of glass, scaling from 1 to over 50,000 clusters. Zero-touch provisioning and Secure Link features allow administrators to centrally and securely monitor and manage hundreds or thousands of distributed edge infrastructure deployments, with few or no on-site IT personnel.
