Scale Computing // Data Protection Suite: How to Maximize Your Investment

Join Jeff Ready, CEO and co-founder of Scale Computing, as he delves into the underlying strategy of Broadcom and its ramifications for IT leaders. Tracing his journey from a budding entrepreneur at age 11 to the founding of Scale Computing in 2007, Jeff shares how his personal values shape the long-term strategy at Scale Computing, contrasting this with the private-equity approach of Broadcom. Jeff explores why the VMware acquisition happened while revealing business insights, life lessons, and a vision for the future of technology. Expect a lively and enlightening discussion filled with memes, baby photos, and supervillains as you gain insights into what the next 10 years of IT innovation may hold.

Beyond VMware: Unpacking Broadcom’s Strategy & Envisioning the Future of IT

You might be perfectly satisfied with your VMware investment's price, management overhead, and reliability. If so, it's all good.

Or you might be wondering if there is an alternative. You might blanch at the cost of licenses, be nervous about the impact of the Broadcom acquisition, or maybe you just want something that’s less of a struggle to maintain and patch with exponentially less downtime.

If that describes you, then join our Regcast to hear Scott Mann of Scale Computing talk about what his company has to offer. The company has surveyed VMware users, and Scott will tell Tim Phillips what they revealed about the true price customers are paying to maintain legacy virtualization deployments. He’ll also share how Scale Computing’s products could be a balm for your VMware irritation. You will learn:

- The gripes of VMware users
- Scale Computing’s alternative, now and for the future
- How to make the transition

The Register: Is it time to quit VMware?

As more VMware partners and their customers find themselves at the mercy of Broadcom’s new and, in many cases, damaging policies, they’re on a desperate hunt for alternatives. The search can be overwhelming. Dozens of vendors are coming to the forefront and pitching themselves as VMware replacements.

But how do you know those companies will stick around for the long haul, and stay committed to the channel and its end users? How does their technology interoperate with those entrenched VMware stacks? How well do they support their partners? And what is their vision for cloud computing over the next decade? The last thing channel partners need is to team with a VMware replacement provider that’s only going to cause another round of upheaval and frustration.

Attend this webinar to learn why Scale Computing is different, and why the company offers a safe landing for alienated VMware partners.

Who is Scale Computing?

Reduce costs and data complexity with your current IT team through automation.

Organizations are constantly battling with the demands of growth and doing more with less. In fact, according to Enterprise Strategy Group, 53% of survey respondents said their IT environment is more complex or significantly more complex than it was two years ago. Something has to give for organizations to achieve their business KPIs. By reducing cost and complexity leveraging your existing team may be the answer. Leveraging automation to achieve tasks may overcome the IT skill gap issues as well as accelerate the use of cloud adoption.  In this webinar, we will cover these topics and more such as:

•Managing IT skill gap issues on-prem and using zero touch provisioning

•Exploring how AIops within the Hypercore framework can provide observability, auto-provisioning and prevent future failure

•Accelerate cloud adoption of any resources outside the primary data center

IT Teams Need a Break: Automating Edge

You’re constantly evaluating new technologies to accelerate your organization's success and the benefits they could bring. In tech decisions, you are often forced to respond reactively. Emergency arises. Solution assessed. Solution implemented.

Instead of looking in, take a look at where business is done - at the edge. Edge computing captures and facilitates all of that and moves the business world forward at a never-before-seen pace.

The ever-expanding expectations of our digital world demand that more applications run outside the cloud or data center, close to where they are used by people, devices, and IoT technologies. But managing the sprawl of complex infrastructure to run applications locally in geographically distributed locations is an escalating burden on IT departments. If you need to run applications outside the data center and cloud but with cloud-like simplicity and performance or want to know how automation can help, join this session to learn how running applications at the edge is easier than you think.

Mitch Etchason, Product Manager at Scale Computing, discusses optimizing IT infrastructure at the edge to help you think about where you are today, and where you could be tomorrow.

Expanding to the Edge: Next-Generation IT Infrastructure

Organizations need application portability for flexible development and deployment strategies that can keep up with today’s increasingly unpredictable environments, from natural disasters to rapid ransomware attacks. Organizations that have adopted cloud-native strategies often have an easier time moving applications compared to traditional applications. However, increasing data complexity can still strain network and infrastructure capabilities, causing some organizations to also turn to edge computing in order to ease bandwidth and latency issues.

Any data management strategy needs to be carefully planned by skilled workers, yet many organizations don’t have the expertise available to manually manage cloud and edge locations. Limited IT staff, increasing data latency, data compliance regulations, and budgeting can all delay transformation. For professionals looking to reduce strain on IT teams, join host Paul Nashawaty and guests from Scale Computing and Intel as they discuss cloud and edge solutions to achieve application portability as well as:

- How to reduce costs and data complexity with your current IT team through automation
- How to utilize edge computing to address common data management concerns and needs
- Learn how Intel and Scale Computing deliver a unified infrastructure platform to run applications and process data on-premises

Organizations can avoid traditional data center pitfalls such as bandwidth limitations and
network disruptions through cloud migration and edge computing. However, ongoing data
center growth can lead to latency and increasing costs as organizations move away from
core data centers to alternative, smaller locations. As organizations process increasing
amounts of data, they not only need to consider data storage solutions but secure their IT
infrastructure against ongoing storage growth.

While organizations can scale and manage data storage through cloud and edge computing,
there are other infrastructure challenges organizations must address, from limited IT staff to
securing decentralized data. Join senior ESG analyst Paul Nashawaty and Craig Theriac,
VP of Product Management at Scale Computing as they discuss data storage and
management through the adoption of edge and cloud infrastructure, as well as:

- How organizations are utilizing their hybrid cloud application delivery systems
- Addressing low latency as well as potential connectivity and outages in infrastructure
- How Scale computing can streamline the hybrid cloud adoption process from the
data center to edge to cloud
