Acumera has announced the acquisition of Scale Computing, a move that positions the combined entity as the largest software company dedicated to edge computing. The new organization will operate under the Scale Computing brand, signaling a commitment to continuity and innovation for existing customers and partners.
The AcuVigil Platform, which combines Scale Computing’s highly available edge AI and virtualization solutions with Acumera’s secure managed edge and network capabilities, is the result of this strategic merger. The result is a unified platform that enables organizations to deploy, manage, and scale AI workloads at the edge with unprecedented confidence and security. The combined company is uniquely positioned to serve businesses ranging from single-site operations to global enterprises with tens of thousands of locations, delivering real-time decision-making, low-latency processing, and operational simplicity.

This aligns with Scale Computing’s long-standing mission to deliver intelligent, AI-ready edge infrastructure that meets the evolving needs of modern enterprises.
The acquisition is expected to accelerate innovation across several key verticals, including retail, hospitality, manufacturing, and energy. The Scale Computing portfolio has been updated to provide managed service providers (MSPs) with scalable edge solutions that are crucial for the management of distributed operations, the reduction of downtime, and the guarantee of a seamless customer experience. Customers and partners of Acumera and Scale Computing will benefit from deeper product integration, enhanced support, and a unified approach to edge intelligence.
Industry stakeholders have responded positively to the news.

Ready will continue to play a key role in the organization as president and chief marketing officer.
With this acquisition, Scale Computing is poised to set a new standard for edge computing, offering a comprehensive, integrated platform that addresses the growing demand for secure, scalable, and intelligent edge solutions worldwide.
