At Scale Computing, we like to think of SysAdmins as trailblazers. Unafraid of roads less traveled, SysAdmins seek technology solutions that make their teams more agile and efficient.

We know that the IT landscape is constantly evolving, and staying ahead of the game can be a never-ending journey. In fact, the Gartner® report, “Maverick Research: Stop Investing in IT Skills”, highlights an ongoing shortage of talent and skills, making it clear that the skills required change faster than organizations can keep up. While some organizations resort to “quiet hiring” by overburdening existing employees, we know that this strategy won’t scale to meet future demand.

Instead, technology trailblazers like you must embrace intelligent infrastructure to reach new frontiers in IT. Scale Computing invites you to celebrate SysAdmin Day this year by blazing your own trail, both in technology and the great outdoors.

As a thank you for your adventurous spirit and unending perseverance, we’re giving away four lucky winners each a Yeti Crossover Backpack :
