Scala Computing offers cloud HPC and big compute on-demand platforms that support both open-source and third-party licensed software, with built-in security, policy management, and access control. The platform is designed to enable engineers, researchers, and developers to focus on applications rather than the compute environment. Scala targets three core markets: weather research and water modeling; manufacturing and engineering (including CAE/EDA applications); and data center infrastructure simulation. Its customer roster includes several Fortune 500 enterprises spanning manufacturing, social media, and networking equipment, as well as government entities such as the National Center for Atmospheric Research and New York City’s Department of Environmental Protection. The company intends to use recent funding to accelerate development of its HPC platform across those market segments. Leadership includes CEO Shiv Kumar, COO Rob Zecha, CTO Sam Rahman, and co-founder Arjun Kapoor. Scala Computing is a NYC-based provider of a high-performance computing (HPC) platform that lets enterprises leverage Big Compute on-demand in the cloud. Its Scala Compute Platform is an end-to-end, secure and hyper-scalable solution for migrating, running, and managing compute-intensive workloads such as the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) application. The company closed an additional $1.5M in funding and intends to use the proceeds to accelerate market penetration of its compute platform. Scala counts New York City’s Department of Environmental Protection as a key client, where the platform was used to run water quality models on the cloud. It also has a strategic collaboration with NCAR to develop new cloud capabilities for the WRF model for weather prediction. The leadership team includes co-founders Arjun Kapoor and Shiv Kumar, COO Rob Zecha, and CTO Sam Rahman, and the company added Dr. Vyas Sekar and Dr. Yuefan Deng to its technical advisory board.
