Scale Computing: Availability of HyperCore on Intel NUC Enterprise Edge Compute

Scale Computing announced that Intel Corp.‘s NUC Enterprise Edge Compute platform (EEC) built with Scale Computing is available for sale through its channels including Ingram Micro.

The company’s HyperCore software that identifies, reduces, and corrects infrastructure problems in real time is pre-installed on the NUC EEC for efficient application deployment and management. Customers should use this contact form if interested in discussing their requirements for an edge computing deployment.

Also announced, Dave Demlow, VP, product strategy, Scale Computing, will join Brian McCarson, VP and GM, NUC Group, Intel, and Ashwin Vijayakumar, manager, strategic business development, during Intel Innovation 2022, a place for developers and technologists to share, collaborate, and evolve the latest in technology, open ecosystem resources, new computing solutions, and more. The panelists will share some Intel and Scale Computing technologies designed to address scalable deployment of edge solutions.

Intel NUC Enterprise Edge Compute platform built with Scale Computing is an all-in-one platform designed for running applications at the edge. Ingram Micro Integrated Solutions is the first integrator offering the NUC EEC product and is available. NUC EEC built with Scale Computing is for remote edge computing locations and managed centrally through the Fleet Manager user interface, making it to run applications anywhere needed and reducing workloads for IT teams.

“The demand for near real-time response for critical applications is driving the need for computing power based where it can be best used, at the edge of a network,” Jeff Ready, CEO and co-founder, Scale Computing. “By combining the power of Intel NUC EEC with the simplicity and reliability of Scale Computing HyperCore software and the expansive channel of partners from Ingram Micro, we are providing organizations with an efficient, scalable, and comprehensive edge computing solution that is your fastest path from pilot to production.”

Built for sites needing resilient and scalable infrastructure outside the traditional data center, the NUC EEC can be deployed almost anywhere without requiring a rack or server closet, providing a functional, integrated platform for running applications that include high availability clustering, rolling upgrades, and integrated data protection. The construction and connectivity, with HyperCore software built in, comes ready for general purpose, industrial, and IoT applications supporting Windows and Linux VMs and cloud-native applications (containers and Kubernetes) running on the same platform. The small form factor consumes a small amount of power while offering ease of installation, Intel vPro manageability, and the ability to rapidly scale up edge computing resources, along with the reliability needed for edge computing and IoT applications.

“Many enterprise edge deployments require hardware rated for 24×365 operation for several years on end, packed with impressive compute performance and specifically-designed for the I/O and workloads needed at the edge, with all the ease-of-use expected from a traditional cloud deployment. That is where the reliable, powerful and exceptionally sustainable Intel NUC Enterprise Edge Compute platform developed with Scale Computing allows teams to rapidly deploy, integrate through the network to multiple clouds while running applications at the edge. Intel, together with Ingram Micro and Scale Computing, make it easier for partners and customers to achieve faster time-to-market with lower cost-of-ownership over time for their edge computing deployments,” said Brian McCarson, VP and GM, NUC group, Intel.

The company recently announced Fleet Manager for edge computing and MSPs, which makes managing and monitoring the health of distributed IT infrastructure more straightforward. For IT managers with multiple clusters, the low maintenance time will be reduced by 50% or more. As part of the SC//Platform, Fleet Manager consolidates real-time conditions for a fleet of clusters, including storage and compute resources, allowing IT leaders to identify areas of concern using a single pane of glass, scaling from 1 to over 50,000 clusters.

“Performance, availability and reliability are three non-negotiable benefits businesses want and need within a highly available infrastructure,” says Cheryl Rang, executive director, advanced solutions, Ingram Micro. “Given the modern workforce is hybrid, footprint and flexibility to deploy nearly anywhere are also important factors when it comes to infrastructure purchasing decisions. Intel NUC Enterprise Edge Compute Built with Scale Computing answers the call of channel partners wanting more performance in a smaller, easier to manage solution, and we’re proud to be the channel’s go-to-market partner for these advanced technologies.”
