- SC//Platform is a platform for running applications at the edge, with all of the software, hardware, and services needed. Regardless of the user's hardware requirements, the same innovative software, SC//HyperCore, and SC//Fleet Manager help to run infrastructure efficiently at scale
- Scale Computing HyperCore saves resources because its software, servers, and storage are in a fully integrated platform that power infrastructure regardless of the hardware configuration.
- Scale Computing Fleet Manager is a cloud-hosted monitoring and management tool built for hyperconverged edge computing infrastructure at scale. It can be used to monitor and manage an entire fleet of clusters running Scale Computing HyperCore. For IT Managers with multiple clusters, maintenance time can be reduced.
- This document describes the technology, concepts and operating theory behind the Scale Computing HyperCore OS that powers it, including the SCRIBE (Scale Computing Reliable Independent Block Engine) storage layer.

Scale Computing - 1 Year Later.
The focus of our decision to migrate to Scale was to move our production SQL and LoB servers. This process was incredibly straightforward with the assistance of Carbonite and Scale support. There was very little downtime, and even our end users commented they noticed improved performance.

Making the job easy.
We have many different virtual machines running different services on our Scale Cluster. We have multiple Windows Servers that run our core infrastructure tools to support all of our users. Just recently, we set up a Parallels VDI with them and added and new node to our previous cluster to increase the VDI capacity.

Scale Computing Platform 6 Month Overview
We run our whole company on our Scale Computing Platform cluster. We currently run our Fileserver, SQL Server, Shipping Server, ERP Server, and 2 terminal servers for all our remote users.

Scale Computing for the WIN!
I currently run our domain controller, file server, and backup server in our environment. When maintenance is needed on a node or a system update is ready to be installed, simply migrate the servers to a different node and continue with maintenance while production stays going and there are no business interruptions.
Database such as Oracle and SQL, financial applications are great indicators where they receive the performance that they need. Some other good examples are Sharepoint which as we know can grow very large amount of data.

Scale Computing -> Best Value
We run in-house Exchange, SQL, MySQL, and Apache web servers. They run flawlessly. The only problems I have are with the individual applications themselves, never at the infrastructure level. When I bought the system they didn't have SSD out yet, so I can't speak about the ability to portion out the SSD across VMs but it looks super awesome!

Scale HC3 Review
Primarily it runs our Point of Sale infrastructure.

Scale is a great solution with second to none support
We run everything on our Scale solution. This includes a SQL server for our ERP software, multiple licensing applications as well as file servers and domain controllers. I even have some desktops set up for VPN purposes. Everything works flawlessly. I can't imagine a scenario where Scale wouldn't meet our needs.
Single print server servicing 5,000 users, building management systems controlling perimeter access and heating systems. Secure Token Service infrastructure runs on the system, domain controllers including those with FSMO roles run on the system.

Scale Review
We run our Exchange Servers, HVAC, Shoretel, File Servers, Scanning Servers, Domain Controllers, and I would run anything else on this hardware.

Scale Computing HC3 is a Business Must-Have!
Our ERP system completely runs on Scale Computing HC3. I was able to break out other important services into their own servers so restarting one machine does not take down all services any more.

Scale Computing HC3 - Scales up to meet your needs.
We run both VMWare and HC3 virtual servers. We are currently running our SQL Server and two terminal servers on our HC3 system. I was reluctant to move the SQL server to a virtual environment due to lag-time issues, but there hasn't been a noticeable lag in our SQL Server. We run all of our payroll, accounting and production software systems on the HC3 nodes. Next up, we will be moving our Exchange system to our HC3 platform as well.

HC3 works for me!
We use virtual servers to house mission critical databases that are written to daily with large amounts of data with no issues. Our online backup software is able to connect with the virtual servers to add another layer of disaster recovery.

Scale HC3 Review
Scale provides a IO/disk latency setting you can tweak to increased performance. This can be for a specific server or multiple.

Scale Computing - Why we ditched VMware and Went to HC3
We run our main LDAP, SQL, and remote desktop services on Scale.
We had an aging installation of SQL server. Because we had it on Scale, we were easily able to make a replacement/upgrade VM and then seamlessly transfer everything over to the new server with no glitches.
We can also spin up test VMs in no time at all. And delete them just as easily once we are finished.

Scale HC3 - a great hyper-converged solution for SMB
The most important business-critical application we run on HC3 is Exchange. Everyone knows how important e-mail is in today's business environment. I fully trust in our HC3 environment to keep it, along with our other critical applications running 100% of the time.

Scale tips the scale accross the board
I have a. EMR, and Laserfiche running on my cluster adding storage is just a couple of keystrokes, takes longer for the server software to add in the extra space, and my end users think each VM is on its own physical hardware.
November 27, 2020
Perfect system for us, peace of mind with performance.
Active directory, DNS, DHCP, Ruckus vSmartzone, Symmetry access control, Avaya IP Office. Digital Watchdog Spectrum VMS.
November 27, 2020
Scale is wonderful, not only as a virtualization platform but for increased DR capabilities as well.
Everything from active directory to banking software. It is easy to scale up, not so much to scale down.
November 27, 2020
HC3 will change your server world!
We use SQL as the backbone for many core applications whenever the server hard drive fills it only takes minutes to spin up a duplication of the SQL machine with expanded storage.

Scale HC3 review
We run all of our production applications on the Scale servers. Every department is dependent of server application uptime. We have had NO outages since moving to the Scale clusters.
November 25, 2020
Hyperconvergence made simple!
We run several different software meant for small government organizations. When we made the switch to HC3, the applications all ran just as they did before, but faster. We run Microsoft Dynamics, Laserfiche, and have several SQL databases supporting these applications. We've also explored many open source Linux solutions which are very easy to deploy and run within HC3.
November 25, 2020
High-powered hyperconverged environment without the high cost!
We are running file storage servers, SQL Servers, Reporting Service Servers, RDS Servers, and Web Servers. All have shown increased performance over the previous environment.

One of the best IT decisions I've ever made
Our emergency room medical record system consists of five different servers that we have virtualized on our Scale Computing HC3 solution. Needless to say, these are very important servers that need to have 100 percent uptime. The robust solution that Scale Computing HC3 supplies is the perfect fit for this business critical application.
