so scale has been part of the picture since I started. And really, the reason why scale was such a good fit for Taco Bell is we really wanted to focus on the applications and the platforms that actually run our experiences in business versus the foundational tech that's required. And so we really wanted to leave that to experts because we want to keep the teams pretty lean and focused on the right things.

TL;DR

  • Daniel Fragoso of Taco Bell International has relied on Scale Computing for infrastructure since joining the company over four years ago.
  • Taco Bell chose Scale Computing to offload foundational infrastructure management, freeing internal teams to focus on business-critical applications.
  • The decision reflects a lean IT strategy: delegate commodity infrastructure to experts and concentrate resources on customer-facing digital experiences.

Summary

In this brief customer testimonial, Daniel Fragoso, Digital & Technology Leader at Taco Bell International, explains why Scale Computing has been the infrastructure partner of choice for the past four years. Fragoso highlights a deliberate strategic decision: rather than dedicating internal engineering resources to managing foundational infrastructure technology, Taco Bell chose to offload that responsibility to specialists. Scale Computing's hyperconverged infrastructure platform allowed the Taco Bell technology team to remain lean and stay focused on the applications and digital experiences that directly drive business outcomes. The testimonial underscores a common enterprise priority — reducing operational complexity at the edge so that internal teams can concentrate on differentiated, customer-facing innovation rather than commodity infrastructure management. For organizations running distributed restaurant or retail environments, this endorsement positions Scale Computing as a trusted, low-maintenance solution that enables application-first IT strategies.
