Scalar

What Scalar does

Scalar LLC is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) founded in 2014 and headquartered in the Washington D.C. metro area (Alexandria, VA) that provides enterprise IT infrastructure services and a small portfolio of automation-driven security products to federal agencies, higher-education institutions, and commercial enterprises. The company's core service lines span datacenter and cloud architecture, cybersecurity, network architecture, system operations, DevSecOps automation, and geospatial systems, delivered against federal compliance frameworks including FedRAMP, NIST 800-53, and DoD SRG. Scalar's productized offerings consist of three Ansible-based solutions: Reavr MDR (Managed Detection and Response), OdinSight/Parallax (multi-network unified alerting launched in 2025), and IVR / Intelligent Vulnerability Response (automated remediation framework launched in 2025). Technology architecture is a multi-vendor integration layer combining Dell VXRail hyperconverged infrastructure, Cisco Nexus networking, Palo Alto firewalls, Thales encryption, VMware virtualization, and AWS GovCloud / Azure GCC, with the company's proprietary automation layer orchestrating these components.

The business operates a hybrid revenue model combining professional services (design and deployment engagements billed as project work) with managed services priced per host under multi-year contracts, plus systems integration and custom automation work. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales directed at federal procurement via GSA Schedule Contract GS-35F-0537U, supplemented by co-sell relationships with technology vendors (Dell, Cisco, VMware, AWS, Microsoft, Red Hat) and implementation partners (WWT, Jtek). Named customers include the U.S. Department of State, FEMA, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the U.S. Department of the Air Force (including Air Force District of Washington), Howard University, and at least one unnamed higher-education institution; visible execution milestones include a 15,000-user VDI deployment across three sites in 100 days, a 30-node VXRail cluster configured within seven days of delivery, a hybrid identity management system spanning 30,000+ users and 150+ applications, and legacy storage recovery in under 24 hours. The company is privately held with 11-50 employees, no disclosed outside funding, and no parent company.
