Delivering Scale’s data centre in a box on Lenovo hardware to provide high performance, simplified IT and flexible ‘pay as you grow’ IT, ideal for organisations of all size.

London, January - 11, 2017 ---- Scale Computing, the market leader in solutions for midsized and enterprise companies, today announced a strategic partnership with value add distributor Copaco. As a leader in delivering IT services, Copaco will be reselling Scale’s innovative HC3 product on Lenovo servers in the Netherlands.

With over 400 qualified staff, Copaco’s specialist team is experienced in reselling a range of quality IT services and solutions to suppliers across the region.
