Scale Computing launched a cloud-managed SD-WAN with integrated security services for distributed organizations and remote users.

The SC//Connect platform combines intelligent SD-WAN with integrated secure access service edge (SASE) security services to provide secure, resilient, cloud-managed connectivity built for distributed organizations, remote workers, and single-site businesses.

"In an era where business continuity depends on the cloud, companies can no longer afford the rigidity of traditional networking," Craig Theriac, VP of product management at Scale Computing, noted. "We are empowering global organizations of all sizes to move away from tool sprawl and toward a unified, improved network experience that ensures their critical applications are always high-performing, accessible, and resilient without added operational complexity."

Scale Computing pointed out that SC//Connect was created to tackle the issues of cumbersome and insecure legacy architectures that traditional virtual private networks (VPNs) often face. It's approach promises to eliminate hardware concentrator bottlenecks for a smoother user experience and simpler operations.

The Texas-headquartered provider also said that it keeps sites online with multilink resilience, improves cloud app performance with application-aware traffic steering, and simplifies operations through a single console. Platform features also work to help organizations achieve non-stop connectivity with a multilink SD-WAN with a failover to eliminate the impact of downtime.

The release comes on the heels of Scale Computing's acquisition of cloud SD-WAN operator Adaptiv Networks in February, seeing the company serve more than 9,000 users, including brands across restaurants, retail, and distributed industries.

Adaptiv Networks’ cloud-native SD-WAN and SASE solutions were designed to simplify WAN management, performance, security, and reliability. While deploying enterprise SD-WAN, business cloud connectivity, or remote VPN access, the platform also helps ensure optimized network security and cloud productivity.

The acquisition also expanded Scale Computing’s market position in Canada.
