The deal is designed to expand Scale Computing’s SC//AcuVigil managed network solutions with integrated SD-WAN connectivity, enhanced network performance optimization, and centralized orchestration across distributed environments. The deal also strengthens the company’s presence in Canada.
The acquisition aligns with Scale Computing’s broader edge computing and network convergence strategy, combining infrastructure, security, and connectivity into a unified platform for distributed enterprises.

Together, the two companies will serve a combined customer base of more than 9,000 organizations across industries such as quick-service restaurants, retail, and other multi-site operations worldwide.
Following the close of the transaction, Scale Computing expects to offer Adaptiv Networks’ solutions immediately, both as standalone products and as part of bundled managed networking platforms delivered through its channel partner ecosystem. Adaptiv’s Connect and Elfiq SD-WAN solutions will be marketed under the SC//Connect brand.
