This is the fifth consecutive year Scale Computing has been recognized as a CRN ARC Award winner, and the company once again swept all subcategories within each category of their win, including Product Innovation, Support, Partnership, and Managed & Cloud Services.

Powered by groundbreaking products, services, and partner programs, CRN's ARC Awards recognize the industry's top technology vendors. Through a survey of 3,300 solution providers across North America, 68 technology vendor partners were ranked across subcategories and recognized for their efforts to design channel-friendly product offerings, build strong partner programs, and develop long-term successful relationships with them. As a 38-year-old tradition with a reputation as one of the most prestigious honors in the IT industry, the awards honor best-in-class vendors committed to growing the IT channel through technology innovation and partner relations.

"We are deeply honored to be a repeat recipient of CRN's ARC Award, which truly echoes the sentiments of our valued partners," remarked Jeff Ready, Scale Computing CEO and co-founder. "To secure the top position in both Converged/Hyperconverged Infrastructure and Multicloud Software Platforms underscores our unwavering commitment to excellence, and to the success of our partners and customers. Scale Computing is a channel-first company with over 2,200 partners globally, and we invest heavily in making our partner community successful. From the beginning, our mission has been to redefine the vendor-partner relationship, setting new standards in customer and partner satisfaction. Our fifth-year win and sweep across all subcategories, surpassing our competitors once more, exemplifies our dedication to fulfilling that very pledge."

The ARC Award win comes on the heels of other major channel award recognitions for Scale Computing, including CRN Tech Innovator, Top 100 Executives, Channel Chief, Women of the Channel, and a 5-star rating for the 2023 CRN Partner Program Guide.
