Scale Computing and Lenovo strengthen edge partnership

"Scale Computing is expanding its collaboration with Lenovo for edge computing. The ThinkEdge SE100 now runs on Scale Computing HyperCore and is available through Lenovo On Demand, with an introductory price starting at $10,000 for a cluster of three nodes. Scale Computing focuses on providing a self-healing virtualization platform that can be deployed in minutes. It is primarily aimed at edge environments where simplicity is paramount. Lenovo's hardware completes the story in the field of edge deployments."

"The Lenovo ThinkEdge SE100 with SC//HyperCore offers a modern virtualization solution designed to simplify IT infrastructure. The platform automatically corrects problems, keeps systems up to date, and recovers from failures as part of regular maintenance. This self-healing technology prevents IT problems and enables the use of smaller platforms, resulting in savings at hundreds or thousands of edge locations. This is no luxury."

"According to market research by DCIG, Scale Computing is one of the top five VMware vSphere alternatives, particularly for SMEs and parties focusing on edge computing. The platform is said to reduce total costs by approximately 40 percent compared to VMware. Downtime is also said to be reduced by 90 percent. The ThinkEdge SE100 is 85 percent smaller than traditional servers and consumes less than 140 watts."

Scale Computing and Lenovo have integrated Scale Computing HyperCore onto the ThinkEdge SE100, available through Lenovo On Demand with an introductory price of $10,000 for a three-node cluster. The platform provides a self-healing virtualization stack that automatically corrects issues, keeps systems updated, and recovers from failures to enable rapid, minutes-long deployments suited for edge locations. The solution reduces total costs by around 40 percent versus VMware and cuts downtime by roughly 90 percent, making smaller, lower-power hardware viable across many sites. The ThinkEdge SE100 is compact and energy-efficient, and the Reliant Platform offers managed Edge Computing as a Service for retail and hospitality.
