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?

The smaller form factor that reduces the amount of rack space required versus Servers and Sans and backup storage. And the single pane of glass console. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

Only major issues so far has been the Ubiquiti switch delays requiring us to pay extra for the backbone switches required for the main clusters, and most recently a glitch with trying to install the Acronis agent onto our cluster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Older servers at most of our sites, along with a mix of different server hardware and lack of high-speed storage. New faster equipment improves efficiency overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

Support has been great in my experience so far. The snapshot and backup options are excellent as well as the recovery options. The UI is efficient and easy to navigate. I have literally not had a single issue since the install. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

I don't have any specific dislikes right now. It's easy to foget some things when you don't have to be in the management every day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The platform is highly efficient. My team used to spend time every day in our hyper-v environment. We have not had any issues since installing Scale. It has been easy to manage and configure as we have needed to make adjustments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

I am relatively new in my position and when I notified Scale of that, they got back to me promptly and scheduled one-on-one time to go over their entire system with me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

There is a lot to Scale, and since I am new I need to be more comfortable contacting them for support. It's more me needing to take the time to reach them other than a limitation of theirs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Scale handles all our server virtualization and it makes maintaining them easier, by having that scalability. Right now I don't change much with it; it just works, which gives me time to do all the other things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

The simplicity of the interface and how easy it is to move VMs from one physical node to another node. This by itself is the key for me, having previously been a Hyper-V person. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

Honestly what I dislike the most is that backup solutions such as Veeam or Datto don't really integrate with Scale. They work just fine with the Guest VMs. If there was some better integration for BDR solutions it would be cake. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Scale solves the uptime issue we were experiencing. Being able to fail-over or reboot a physical node while having the guest VMs still running has eliminated some needless downtime while doing maintenance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

Ease of management of the platform. No having to manually do any VM migraine, though you can.

Snapshots are simple and scheduled, web access needs no client Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

No direct way to migrate VM disks in or out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Being able to offer HCI without being retired to spec and deliver the servers to do it. Why reinvent the wheel? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

Extremely simple setup. The time to unbox, rack and stack and have VMs running is only a few hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

I wish there were more granular settings for networking, viewing disk I/O and most importantly, integrated authentication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We had the need to replace our aging VMWare platform during a time where we were also downsizing our on-prem datacenter and moving more workloads to private cloud. Scale enabled us to bring in a powerful, but lower cost virtualization solution to keep our remaining workloads on site, without the cost and admin overhead of something like VMware.

What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

With some background IT knowledge, Scale Computing delivers a robust, easy product to set up and deploy. If you don't have an IT background, they can set up the entire environment to get your solution up and running. Their 24/7 support can guide you through any needed troubleshooting, and you can give them remote access to the system if advanced action is required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

It would be helpful if the USB connections on the hardware could be attached to a VM for use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As an SMB, we needed to virtualize our environment without the complexity of using multiple vendors to achieve a high-availability solution at a reasonable price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Everything is all in one location and for me to manage instead of having multiple hypervisors to login and manage. (Hyper-v) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Scale's platform reduces the convoluted process of VM setup and maintenance to the press of a few buttons. It's not that it's hyperconvergence for dummies, just an incredible time saver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
