Retail on the Edge: Autonomous edge infrastructure for the future-ready store
Customer experience has overtaken price and product as the key brand differentiator. New technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT) and Edge Computing help retailers support this demand with a more flexible, reliable, secure, scalable, and resilient in-store infrastructure.
Consolidate and Future-Proof In-Store Applications and Infrastructure
Compute, storage, virtualization, and disaster recovery are combined into a single, easy-to-use platform. Eliminate the cost and complexity of caring for separate hardware and software to support individual point solutions. Even run legacy and modern applications on the same infrastructure.
“We used to have a legacy virtualization system as our backup strategy, but it didn’t work very well. Now, we have Scale Computing, which works extremely well. Our corporate and remote locations have a backup location that we can failover to, and within a minute it can be turned on and brought up right away. It is safe to say I am sleeping better at night.”

Jerry’s Foods Excels with Scale Computing’s In-Store Edge Computing Infrastructure
Before choosing Scale Computing, Jerry’s Foods was using a legacy virtualization system for its IT infrastructure, which was found to be costly, unreliable, and difficult to operate and manage. With only five full IT team members, and no IT staff on-site at its many grocery store locations, Jerry’s Foods needed a solution that could be clustered for high availability, managed remotely with ease, and have the computing power needed for on-site applications.
