Company Gifting Hiking Packs and Gartner Report Through August 4th

INDIANAPOLIS, July 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Scale Computing, the market leader in edge computing, virtualization, and hyperconverged solutions, today announced its new 'Blaze Your Trail' campaign, a celebration in honor of the upcoming 24th annual System Administrator (SysAdmin) Appreciation Day on Friday, July 28, 2023. Between now and August 4, 2023, SysAdmins can register for a free hiking pack gift and Gartner report here.

Today's IT landscape is constantly evolving, and maintaining a competitive advantage and staying ahead of the game can be a never-ending journey. According to the recent Maverick Research: Stop Investing in IT Skills from Gartner®, there is an ongoing shortage of talent and skills, making it clear that the skills required of IT professionals change faster than organizations can sustain. While some organizations resort to "quiet hiring" by overburdening existing employees, this strategy will not scale to meet future demand. As Gartner, Inc. recommends, IT leaders should avoid hiring tactically and instead procure products and services for intelligent infrastructure that will enable them to meet their strategic IT goals, while alleviating the burden on existing employees.

"System Administrators are the trailblazers of their organization's technology. As IT leaders continue to navigate shortages of skills and resources, SysAdmins have already started to learn and implement emerging technology solutions, like edge computing, to make their teams more efficient," said Jeff Ready, CEO and co-founder of Scale Computing. "We're excited to celebrate the hardworking and adventurous spirit of SysAdmins around the world."

Scale Computing invites IT professionals to celebrate SysAdmin Day this year by blazing their own trail, both in technology and in the great outdoors. As a thank you for SysAdmins' adventurous spirit and unending perseverance, Scale Computing is giving away Trail Blazing Hiking Kits, packed with everything needed for an epic hike this summer, now through August 4, 2023. SysAdmins can complete this form to claim the complimentary gift and copy of the report.
