Hypervisor kid Jeff Ready: Converged to the core, and NO VMware
Summary
Profile Scale Computing CEO Jeff Ready reckons its hyperconverged HC3 software is better than anyone elses because its integrated into the hypervisors core and not just another VM. This makes sense, but Scale is competing in a rapidly maturing hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) market with an IPOd and (currently) top dog Nutanix, HPE bulked up with its SimpliVity acquisition, Dell with its VMware vSAN software and EMC VxRail/VxRack offerings, and Cisco pouring dollars into its Springpath SW-powered HyperFlex offering. He describes himself as a serial entrepreneur and heres a snapshot of his business career: Before THIS Internet, Ready ran a bulletin board system in his high school and then in his college, the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, where he studied computer science. Scale Computings founders were Scott Loughmiller, Mike Olson, Jeff Ready, Ehren Maedge and Jason Collier; a successful group of folks doing it again. The Scale Computing founders have their feet on the ground, as they might say, and dont exist in a venture capital-drenched, Silicon Valley bubble dreamworld.
