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?

There are many things that I like best about the Scale Computing Platform, but high availability is probably #1. Ease of use and great customer support are right up there so 1.1 and 1.2, I guess. They are also totally in tune with customer requests. I have asked for the ability to do things myself or have things done differently, and they actually listen and implement my suggestions on future releases. It is very comforting to be heard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

I think the life cycle is too short. It is always a sad day when the hardware that is still functioning has to be retired due to not having even software support, which is essential. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It is solving high availability. We have experienced zero downtime since implementation around 8 years ago. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

The overall ease of the entire system. The implementation was seemless, the maintenance is idiot proof, and the use makes virtuallizing your server environment dead simple. If you are looking for a great system, with great support, this is it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

I honestly don't have anything negative to say. Our use case, and experience have been nearly perfect! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We were in need of a virtual environment to replace our aging server infrastructure. Along with a great platform to start virtualizing on, we found an easy disaster recovery setup as well. We have our main cluster at our main office, with a backup cluster at one of our branches. We are a utility in Oklahoma. In my mind, it's not a question of if we get a large tornado, but when. The peace of mind I've gotten with this solution is priceless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

The Scale Computing platfor we ordered was shipped as a complete VMware replacement solution. Our 3 nodes replaced 6 VMware host servers and 6 NAS devices. The all flash array provides improved performance and redundancy. Migration was simple and worked for all servers except the domain controllers.

Customer support was very responsive in working out any migration issues. As well as introduction training for all the new tools and features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

The Carbonite package for converting VMware servers to Scale Computing VM servers worked well for all servers except domain controllers. I had to rebuild the domain controllers from scratch. Not a big deal, I just would have liked that information at the beginning of the migration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Improved performance and server / storage consolidation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
