Netherlands-based system integrator deploys SC//Platform™ edge solutions to deliver secure, centrally managed infrastructure across global vessel fleet
Austin, Texas – March 3, 2026 – Scale Computing, the leader in edge computing and network solutions, today announced maritime managed service provider (MSP) customer success with NexusOcean, a Netherlands-based system integrator that has standardized on the Scale Computing Platform™ (SC//Platform) edge solutions, to deliver resilient, centrally managed IT environments across vessels operating worldwide.
As maritime operators modernize onboard systems while navigating stricter cybersecurity enforcement and increasing infrastructure complexity, they are rethinking vessel IT architectures to prioritize remote manageability, built-in resilience, and compliance-ready infrastructure that can operate reliably beyond the reach of traditional data center support. NexusOcean specializes in maritime IT, communications, and cybersecurity services. Vessel environments function as remote edge sites with limited bandwidth, minimal onboard technical staff, and zero tolerance for downtime.
Traditional virtualization approaches proved increasingly costly and difficult to manage offshore, prompting the company to adopt an infrastructure platform purpose-built for distributed edge operations. By deploying SC//Platform with the SC//HyperCore™ virtualization suite and SC//Fleet Manager™ edge orchestration solutions, NexusOcean now centrally monitors and manages eight active vessels from a single console. Zero-touch provisioning enables rapid pre-configured deployment before vessels depart port, while remote firmware updates, without downtime, ensures ongoing cybersecurity compliance. Native Veeam integration maintained existing backup workflows, providing seamless migration from the previous VMware environment.
“Maritime IT has to be dependable above all else,” said Wesley Vandamme, Chief Technology Officer, NexusOcean. “Our customers operate in environments where systems must work continuously, without onboard specialists to manage complexity. They need consistent uptime, not constant maintenance. By standardizing on Scale Computing, we can deploy infrastructure that’s easier to maintain remotely, supports compliance requirements, and gives vessel operators confidence that their critical systems will remain stable wherever they are.”
The platform’s self-healing architecture and full-node redundancy deliver the fault tolerance required for mission-critical maritime operations, where onsite support is unavailable. Automated updates and centralized visibility improve compliance posture while reducing operational burden. The standardized solution also speeds the sales cycle for new deployments and strengthens NexusOcean's differentiation from traditional IT providers in the maritime market.
“Maritime environments are among the most demanding edge computing scenarios in the world; highly distributed, resource-constrained, and entirely mission-critical,” said Ian Smith, Vice President of International, Scale Computing. “We designed SC//Platform to operate reliably in exactly these types of locations, where centralized control, automation, and resilience matter more than complexity.”
