Scale Computing HC3 - Scales up to meet your needs.

Price was the single most important factor. Comparable systems from HP and Dell were 3 times for costly.

HC3 works for me!
- Implementation support
Cost savings achieved by not having to buy physical servers and replacing them every few years. Scale does not have the licensing fees that other virtual platforms charge.

Medium Size School Using Scale Computing HC3
- Price
- Product Features
- Product Usability
Price is the main reason we went with Scale Computing. As a mid sized school we are right on the bottom edge of needing a hyper converged option. Scale was way cheaper than other big name options and delivered on many if not all of the same features. Best of all I was able to ditch VMware.

- Positive Sales Experience with the Vendor
- Third-party Reviews
Hyperconvergence was relatively new in the legal industry. The attraction was the simplicity of operation, reduction in footprint and ultimately an ROI of 18 months. The sales experience was very relaxed and provided me with great confidence in the products abilities. Third party reviews were available, and the fact that the sales engineer was a previous scale computing client spoke volumes.

While price is always a factor in purchasing any solution, we were more interested in the features and reputation of this company.
