ScaleOps raised 30M Series C at 00M valuation for autonomous K8s/AI GPU optimization; customers include Adobe, Wiz, DocuSign, Salesforce (March 2026).
ScaleOps is an autonomous cloud resource optimization platform that uses AI to continuously right-size and orchestrate Kubernetes workloads and AI infrastructure without requiring manual configuration. Founded to address the chronic problem of cloud waste and performance degradation in dynamic containerized environments, ScaleOps deploys AI agents that observe workload behavior in real time, predict resource needs, and automatically adjust CPU, memory, and GPU allocations to maximize efficiency and reliability simultaneously. The company's core insight is that static resource configurations are inherently suboptimal in environments where workload patterns change constantly.\n\nScaleOps integrates with Kubernetes-native infrastructure and extends to AI/ML workloads running on GPU clusters, making it particularly valuable as enterprises scale their AI training and inference pipelines alongside traditional application workloads. The platform operates autonomously—reducing the toil on platform engineering teams who would otherwise spend significant time manually tuning resource requests and limits. Key differentiators include zero-disruption optimization, support for heterogeneous workloads, and AI-driven anomaly detection that prevents resource contention before it impacts performance.\n\nIn March 2026, ScaleOps raised a $130M Series C at an $800M valuation, with customers including Adobe, Wiz, DocuSign, and Salesforce—a marquee roster that validates the platform's enterprise readiness. These customers represent organizations running complex, high-volume Kubernetes environments where even small efficiency gains translate to millions in cloud savings. ScaleOps sits at the intersection of FinOps and AI infrastructure optimization, a category that grows more strategically important as cloud AI spending accelerates.
Armonk NY hybrid cloud and enterprise AI (NYSE: IBM) at $62.8B revenue; $6B+ generative AI bookings, record $12.7B free cash flow 2024, DataStax acquisition for watsonx vector database competing with Microsoft Azure for enterprise AI.
International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) is an Armonk, New York-based global technology and consulting company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: IBM) as an S&P 500 component — providing hybrid cloud infrastructure, artificial intelligence software, and enterprise IT consulting through approximately 270,300 employees in 170 countries with $62.8 billion in annual revenue. Founded on June 16, 1911, as Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company through a merger orchestrated by financier Charles Ranlett Flint, renamed IBM in 1924 under Thomas Watson Sr., IBM has undergone multiple strategic transformations over its 110+ year history: building the System/360 mainframe platform (1964), launching the IBM PC (1981), selling the PC division to Lenovo (2005, $1.75B), and completing the $34 billion Red Hat acquisition (2019) that repositioned IBM as a hybrid cloud platform company. CEO Arvind Krishna (appointed April 2020) has focused IBM's strategy on three areas: hybrid cloud (powered by Red Hat OpenShift, the enterprise Kubernetes platform), AI (the watsonx platform for enterprise AI model development and deployment), and enterprise consulting. Under Krishna, IBM recorded $12.7 billion in free cash flow in 2024 (a company record), surpassed $6 billion in generative AI bookings since June 2023, and saw the stock price double — trading at all-time highs through 2024-2025. IBM announced the DataStax acquisition in 2025 to deepen watsonx's data layer with AstraDB (vector database for AI applications), DataStax Enterprise (Apache Cassandra), and Langflow (low-code AI agent development).
