Forbes Names Scale Computing to “America’s Most Promising Companies 2009” List

Company selected for elite management team, founders’ commitment and current accomplishments, among numerous scoring metrics

(INDIANAPOLIS, IN — September 21, 2009) — Scale Computing, provider of clustered storage solutions utilizing proprietary technology, announces that Forbes named Scale to its inaugural ranking of “America’s Most Promising Companies.” Scale Computing ranked number 16 on the Forbes listing, available online at www.forbes.com/promising and in the October 5 issue of Forbes magazine.

To sharpen the search for America’s Most Promising Companies, Forbes teamed with The Venture Alliance (TVA), an advisory to early-stage entrepreneurs, which has devised a rating system for young companies. Prospects were scored on a host of characteristics, among them the size of the markets they serve, the strength of their intellectual property, the extent to which founders put their own capital at risk, the experience of their management teams, and their record in hitting product-development benchmarks promised to equity investors. Forbes collected the data via a detailed survey that takes roughly two hours to complete. TVA also brought in software experts and engineers to evaluate product plans, and Forbes reporters interviewed all the finalists.

“We are honored to be to be recognized by Forbes as one of America’s twenty most promising companies,” said Jeff Ready, CEO and founder, Scale Computing. “We believe our inclusion in the list is recognition of us as an innovator with our Intelligent Clustered Storage solutions and further validates our business plan and the need for an enterprise-grade storage solution — with all of the same scalability, reliability and functionality — at a fraction of the cost.”

Scale’s storage portfolio is based on the company’s Intelligent Clustered Storage (ICS™) technology, which enables users to add storage hardware, known as storage nodes, as necessary without suspending services or migrating data. Additional nodes immediately integrate into the cluster of storage nodes, which acts as a single file system scalable to more than 2.2 petabytes (PB). By combining commodity hardware with a clustered file system commonly found only in the world’s largest supercomputers, a Scale storage cluster grows seamlessly while significantly reducing costs compared to traditional enterprise storage solutions.
