Recently named Forbes’ “America’s Most Promising Companies” list winner looks to boost local economy and provide high-tech jobs.

(Indianapolis, Indiana — November 2, 2009) — Scale Computing, a developer and manufacturer of ICS™  (Intelligent Clustered Storage) technology, announces Indiana Secretary of Commerce Mitch Roob will help Scale celebrate the grand opening of its new Indianapolis corporate office with a ribbon cutting ceremony, followed by a press conference and facility tour Friday, November 6, from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. EST. Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard and Purdue Research Foundation COO Joseph Hornett will also be helping celebrate the grand opening by speaking about Scale Computing making its home in Indianapolis and what it means for the City and the Purdue Research Park system respectively.

Master of Ceremonies and vice president of marketing and business development for Scale, Peter Fuller, will host the event which will feature speeches from Mitch Roob, Greg Ballard, Joseph Hornett and Scale’s CEO and founder, Jeff Ready. Guests and members of the media are invited to the event, which will be held inside the Purdue Research Park facilities. Coffee and pastries will be offered at the event.

Recently named to Forbes Magazine’s America’s Most Promising Companies List for 2009, Scale Computing is relocating its headquarters and beginning building its operations in Indianapolis with the help of a $2 million grant from Indiana’s 21st Century Research and Technology Fund. With plans to manufacture its storage units in Indiana as well as expand from its current 15 employees to about 50 by the end of 2010, Scale is looking to have about $1 million in revenue this year. The state of Indiana and the city of Indianapolis will obviously benefit from Scale’s relocation, as Scale is operating in an estimated $8 billion storage market.
