Scale Computing, an Indianapolis-based edge computing and network solutions provider backed by Oaktree Capital, has acquired Adaptiv Networks. The acquisition expands Scale's portfolio in the rapidly growing edge computing market, where businesses increasingly rely on distributed computing infrastructure.

Adaptiv Networks specializes in software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) technology, which optimizes network performance across multiple locations. This technology complements Scale's existing hyperconverged infrastructure solutions, creating a more comprehensive offering for enterprise customers seeking to modernize their IT infrastructure.

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, but industry analysts note that consolidation in the edge computing sector has accelerated as companies race to provide integrated solutions. The acquisition positions Scale Computing to compete more effectively against larger players like VMware and Cisco in the enterprise networking space.
