COMPANY NEWS: Scale Computing, a market leader in edge computing, virtualisation, and hyperconverged infrastructure, today announced a strategic partnership with Bitdefender, a global cybersecurity leader, to deliver advanced, integrated threat protection for private cloud and edge environments.
The new joint solution combines the self-healing automation and virtualisation power of Scale Computing Hypercore (SC//Hypercore) with Bitdefender GravityZone, a leading endpoint protection platform (EPP), to offer multilayered security for workloads, virtual desktops, and data – regardless of location. Together, the two companies provide a streamlined path to protect, simplify, and optimise modern IT environments without compromising performance.
“As IT environments become increasingly distributed and decentralised, customers need simple yet powerful ways to secure workloads across their entire infrastructure,” said Jeff Ready, CEO and co-founder, Scale Computing. “Bitdefender shares our vision of reducing complexity while increasing security and resiliency. Together, we’re delivering a joint solution that protects critical applications and data – without adding operational overhead.”
Bitdefender GravityZone integrates directly with SC//Platform through a lightweight, high-performance agent or centralised scanning appliance, enabling unified threat prevention, detection, and response across hundreds of virtual machines and endpoints. The combined solution supports centralised management, streamlined deployment, and ransomware resilience, all while reducing operational burden on IT teams.
“The rise of hybrid and edge computing environments has created new security challenges – and organisations need scalable, high-performance solutions that don’t get in the way of innovation,” said Dan Russell, senior director of channel for North America at Bitdefender Business Solutions Group. “By partnering with Scale Computing, we’re giving partners and customers a way to secure distributed infrastructure at the core and edge with enterprise-grade protection that’s as seamless as it is powerful.”
Key Benefits Include:
- Integrated protection for private cloud workloads, virtual desktops, and distributed applications
- Streamlined VDI security, threat detection, and real-time response
- Efficient deployment with minimal overhead using Bitdefender’s centralised scanning options
- Resilience and uptime, with self-healing infrastructure from Scale Computing
- Reduced complexity and Total Cost of Ownership for IT and security operations
This partnership provides a powerful solution for organisations operating across multiple sites, especially those without on-site IT staff, seeking unified infrastructure and cybersecurity protection in a single, scalable stack.
