Zero-Touch Provisioning, a ground-breaking new feature for Scale Computing Fleet Manager that will revolutionize the industry, was introduced today by Scale Computing, a global leader in edge computing, virtualization, and hyper-converged solutions. By allowing managers to centrally configure clusters of edge computing infrastructure in SC/Fleet Manager before nodes arrive on-premises, the zero-touch provisioning (ZTP) feature of SC/Fleet Manager reduces installation time by 90% or more. ZTP nodes and clusters may now be readily installed using non-IT resources without the need for manual setup.
Scale Computing is further taking part in Gestalt IT’s inaugural Edge Field Day event this week. Independent technical experts and top networking, computing, security, storage, cloud, and now edge computing firms are brought together at this special event. According to Stephen Foskett, founder of Gestalt IT and Tech Field Day, “Scale Computing is bringing advanced infrastructure capabilities to the edge, enabling dependable and scalable workloads to operate everywhere.” “We have been collaborating with Scale Computing for years, and their technology is ideal for computing at the edge.” Edge Field Day will be broadcast live at TechFieldDay.com on February 22 and 23, 2023, with replays accessible later on YouTube.
The SC/HyperCore Ansible Collection for the Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform was also made public by the firm. Customers of SC/HyperCore can interface with SC/HyperCore clusters as Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to automate routine application deployment and maintenance processes. This software is Red Hat-certified and accessible for download through the Red Hat Automation Hub. By enabling DevOps teams and Service Providers to specify the desired end-state of infrastructure and workloads and automatically modify the entire environment to achieve that end state, whether during initial deployment or as the desired state is modified over time, this significant product integration brings the edge computing ideal even closer to reality.
The goal of Scale Computing engineers has always been to offer partners and clients the best possible IT infrastructure that is easy to use, safe, effective, and highly accessible. This focus was expanded to include helping clients succeed at the edge, whether they deployed hundreds of clusters or tens of thousands. No manual initialization should be necessary for edge infrastructure “said Scale Computing’s co-founder and chief product officer, Scott Loughmiller. “With fleet.scalecomputing.com, our new SC/Fleet Manager enables customers to see and manage their entire fleet from a simple cloud-based panel. The ground-breaking ZTP capability eliminates the need for technical manpower at the edge and will be crucial for edge computing deployments, particularly those that need to deploy quickly and at scale. Furthermore, SC/HyperCore’s integration with Red Hat Ansible Automation is a further step in Scale Computing’s effort to deliver easy-to-use, secure, effective, and highly available IT infrastructure at the edge, in the data center, and on-premises, according to Loughmiller.
