Scale Computing, the market leader in edge computing, virtualization, and hyperconverged solutions, today announced that the company has been named a Top 5 VMware Alternative by the Data Center Intelligence Group (DCIG) in the analyst firm’s SMB/Edge edition of its 2024-25 DCIG TOP 5 VMware vSphere Alternatives report.
Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) often rely on the use of applications and technologies that run outside the cloud or data center, close to where they are used by people, devices, and IoT technologies. These organizations with edge environments have unique requirements for VMware alternatives that differ from those of larger enterprises, such as requiring a vSphere alternative to offer specific core features like high-availability, reliability, software-defined storage, software-defined networking, and the ability to host Windows and Linux guest operating systems.
