Scale Computing Earns Premier 5-Star Rating in the 2025 CRN® Partner Program Guide for Seventh Consecutive Year

INDIANAPOLIS – March 24, 2025 – Scale Computing, the market leader in edge computing, virtualization, and hyperconverged solutions, has been honored by CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, with the prestigious 5-Star Award in the 2025 CRN Partner Program Guide. This annual guide is an essential resource for solution providers seeking vendor partner programs that match their business goals and deliver high partner value.

“We have always been a partner-first organization, and we take great pride in the Scale Computing Partner Community. Earning a 5-star rating for the seventh year in a row is the ultimate testament to Scale Computing’s ongoing commitment to being the best solution in a partner’s portfolio,” said Jeff Ready, CEO and co-founder, Scale Computing. “We’re proud of how we have been able to help our partners and customers navigate the industry disruption caused by Broadcom and VMware by switching to Scale Computing Platform (SC//Platform). Our solution offers a significant upgrade from VMware that provides a hypervisor alternative, while simultaneously enabling edge computing and AI inference at the edge. We look forward to continuing to heavily invest in our partner community this year and beyond.”

SC//Platform combines simplicity and scalability, offering a unified, easy-to-manage, and cost-effective solution that replaces complex infrastructure and ensures high availability for workloads. With the zero-touch provisioning (ZTP) feature in Scale Computing//Fleet Manager (SC//Fleet Manager), managing edge computing infrastructure becomes as simple as managing cloud resources. Administrators can pre-configure clusters prior to nodes arriving on site, reducing deployment time of edge infrastructure by up to 90%.

Scale Computing is currently offering two promotions to further ease the transition from VMware to SC//Platform. Customers seeking a VMware Alternative can save 25% or more — and get a free VM migration tool and $200 Amazon gift card — when they switch to Scale Computing. With the SC//Fast Track Partner Promotion, new partners who sign up for the award-winning Scale Computing Partner Program can receive a free hyperconverged edge computing node to experience the company’s industry-leading technology firsthand.

The 5-Star Award is an elite recognition given to companies that have built their partner programs on the key elements needed to nurture lasting, profitable, and successful channel partnerships. For the 2025 Partner Program Guide, the CRN research team evaluated vendors based on program requirements and offerings such as partner training and education, pre- and post-sales support, marketing programs and resources, technical support, and communication.

“Being featured on the 2025 CRN Partner Program Guide highlights the dedication these technology vendors have to evolving with solution providers, driving innovation, and supporting mutual success,” said Jennifer Follett, VP, U.S. Content and Executive Editor, CRN, at The Channel Company. “This critical annual project empowers solution providers to identify vendors that are committed to enhancing their partner programs and meeting the always-changing business needs of the channel and end customers. The guide provides deep insight into the distinctive value of each partner program so solution providers can make strategic partnership decisions with confidence.”

The 2025 Partner Program Guide will be featured in the April 2025 issue of CRN and published online at CRN.com/PPG beginning March 24, 2025.
