The company’s advanced solutions enable retailers to run essential applications—such as point-of-sale (POS), digital signage, video, and AI workloads—at the edge with a cloud-like simplicity. These award-winning offerings empower retail operators to enhance customer experiences, improve operational efficiency, and simplify IT management. Scale Computing will showcase its AI-ready edge computing solutions at NRF ’26: Retail’s Big Show, the National Retail Federation’s annual trade show in New York City, taking place from January 11-13.
In a landscape where distributed infrastructure is vital for seamless digital experiences, many retailers face challenges posed by outdated legacy systems and cybersecurity vulnerabilities. On January 11, Richard Newman, Chief Strategy Officer at Scale Computing, will moderate a panel titled From Storefront to Edge: Scaling Secure Retail Experiences at 9:30 am ET on Exhibitor Big Ideas Stage 4. This panel will convene industry leaders tackling issues across global retail, convenience, and luxury sectors, and will feature insights from Eric Yoo, Deputy CISO at MCM WORLDWIDE, Dave Stubbs, CTO North America at Avolta, and Jesse Wolcott, Director of IT at Royal Farms.
“Modern retailers require compact, efficient infrastructure that can deliver high availability without adding cost or complexity,” stated Newman. “Scale Computing’s AI-ready edge solutions provide a flexible, resilient, and PCI-compliant foundation that simplifies operations while safeguarding networked devices, payment systems, and applications running in every store. We enable retail organizations to run mission-critical applications and AI workloads at the edge with zero-touch deployment.” He emphasized the need for retailers to create more seamless and personalized customer experiences while minimizing time spent managing infrastructure. This integrated security, connectivity, and compliance monitoring allows retail IT leaders to operate POS, inventory, video security, and IoT applications on a single resilient platform, maintaining full observability of connected devices and transactions.
Additionally, Scale Computing is collaborating with Intel and its ecosystem of partners at NRF to demonstrate how AI and edge computing are revolutionizing retail.
