Scale Computing Platform Overview

What is Scale Computing Platform?

Scale Computing was founded to fulfill an IT infrastructure need often hindered by the complexity, time, and resources that traditional virtualized IT environments demand. Today, Scale Computing delivers a platform solution for data center, edge computing, virtualization technology, and hyperconverged infrastructure to customers worldwide. Award-winning Scale Computing Platform eliminates the need for traditional virtualization software, disaster recovery software, servers, and shared storage, replacing these with a fully integrated, highly available system for running applications. 1. Simplicity Engineered Eliminate mundane management tasks and save IT administrators valuable time. SC//Platform's simplicity directly impacts IT with higher productivity and lower costs. Using patented HyperCore™ technology, the self-healing platform automatically identifies, mitigates, and corrects problems in the infrastructure in real time, enabling applications to achieve maximum uptime even when local IT resources and staff are scarce. 2. Scalable Plan the perfect future by not predicting it. Simply mix and match old and new hardware and applications on the same infrastructure for a future-proof environment that can scale up or down as needed. The storage system avoids issues inherent in traditional network storage approaches (SAN and NAS). By embedding storage with the hypervisor, resources can be automatically pooled across an entire cluster, and new storage is automatically added when new nodes are introduced. 3. Secure SC//Platform is designed to be 'Secure by Default,' meaning security isn't an option—it's a fundamental component ingrained in every aspect of the system. This approach eliminates the need for extensive configuration or additional security layers post-deployment. Unlike alternative solutions that require a long and complex “security best practices” checklist, SC//Platform limits the potential for misconfiguration vulnerabilities. 4. Manageable Scale Computing Fleet Manager combines centralized management with cloud and local automation, allowing infrastructure and applications to achieve and maintain the desired state throughout the entire life of the environment. Zero-touch provisioning decreases the time of installation by 90% or more Secure Link allows access to the HyperCore UI for in-depth cluster management with the click of a button without needing expensive or complex remote access solutions such as VPN or RDP Real-time monitoring of all workloads across a global fleet of SC//HyperCore clusters is made even easier with a searchable and customizable view 5. Cost-Effective Reduce IT infrastructure costs in almost every way. Hidden IT infrastructure costs associated with downtime, management, maintenance, training, and consulting are reduced to almost nothing.

What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

Simple to use, has amazing support, and one vendor to deal with, unlike other solutions where when there is an issue they all point at each other. Easy to install and maintain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

The lack of Veeam support/integration is an issue. They do partner with Acronis but not a fan of that product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Scale Computing Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

The platform is easy to use, maintain, and implement. In the past when we had issues with VMware they would blame hardware and hardware would blame VMware. The snapshot and replication is amazing and makes DR much smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

I like how easy it is to set up and configure VMs. Over the years that I've been a Scale Computing User I've seen many features added that make it very easy to configure and maintain VMs. In all the years of use we've had only one power supply go out and customer support was great about getting a replacement to us immediatly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

We have not experienced any downsides. Any shortcommings in the Hyper Converged platform we originally noticed have been overcome in updates. I really can't think of any downsides at this point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Scale Computing Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

We originally had stand alone servers, SANS and Virtualization Software. We were paying maintenance for servers, SANS and Virtaual OS. Our maintenance cost went down significantly since moving to the Scale Computing platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

I really enjoy how easy and quick it is to setup and start using. Scale is a really simple system to use which in a small IT team is huge because it makes it one less thing to worry about. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

There are definetly more enterprise features that are not baked in for simplicty sake and I understand that I just would love to have the option. Over provisioning ram. replicating data to multiples clusters. Changing replication sources wihtout support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Scale Computing Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

WE needed a better environment to virtualize our system that wasn't as complicated and time consuming as other big players in the arena. WE are a very small team and don't need to add to our workload. It also helped create a more robust distaster recovery plan Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

Scale Computing makes managing and operating a virtualized environment more simple than other solutions, yet it has the powerful features that are needed.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

No complaints about the Scale Computing platform. Really just looking forward to a few more enhancements to make it even better, like more real time replication of VMs instead of just snapshot replication and being able to download as well as upload to the Media on the cluster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

I love that the system is so easy to manage. I like that snapshotting and retention set up is a breeze and it's easy to repliacte snapshots to our DR node at another site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

A lot of vendors for systems we use our virtual environment for don't "support" Scale in the way they list VMWare as a supported hypervisor. It's a pain to get some Cisco platforms to run on Scale and some are just flat out not supported at all.

The pricing structure also flipped on us and is now back to being just as expensive as other solutions like VMWare with licensing costs skyrocketing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Scale Computing Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

Speed of our platforms and ease of management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
