Scale Computing scales distribution in Japan
KSG, a technology distributor in Japan, is now offering the Scale Computing HE150 appliance. The partnership enables organizations to deploy edge computing solutions where existing legacy technologies are frequently too complex and expensive to meet their needs.
The HE150, powered by Scale Computing’s HC3 Edge software platform, is based on the Intel NUC, offering excellent performance to handle a wide range of workloads. The cutting-edge construction and connectivity comes with an extremely small form factor. It consumes a small amount of power, offers ease of installation and an ability to rapidly add devices that scale up rapidly, along with the reliability needed for edge computing and IoT applications.
“A growing number of distributed organizations require infrastructure at the edge of the network, specifically at sites where there are limited IT staff available. With edge computing on the rise, our customers are requiring solutions that can fit small footprint requirements with robust application performance, while still being affordable, efficient and simple to manage remotely,” notes Kazuaki Tachibana, CEO of KSG. “We are excited to offer the Scale Computing HE150 as we are making edge computing a financially viable and practical option for more organizations.”
A small, all-flash, NVMe storage-based compute appliance, the HE150 delivers all of the simplicity, efficiency, and enterprise-ready virtualization associated with Scale Computing’s HC3 platform. Built specifically for sites that need highly available infrastructure, the HE150 can be deployed almost anywhere, without requiring a rack or server closet. Taking up only the space needed to stack three smartphones, it also includes high availability clustering, rolling upgrades and integrated data protection.
“We’re thrilled to partner with KSG to bring the HE150 edge computing platform to the Japanese market,” adds Jeff Ready, CEO and co-founder of Scale Computing. “We have created an alliance strategy with KSG based on the market conditions and business customs specific to Japan and are honored to have them as our go-to-market partner in the region. As technology pushes its way into every part of business, the need for edge computing to support an application-driven world is expanding.
