- 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.

Worth every second and penny
- I don't think I can put a number on how much money and time they have saved us. This is easily the best on-prem server management solution I've seen.

Scale Computing Platform -- inspired design and superlative support!
- We have saved a tremendous amount of time and effort in the maintenance, upgrading and (eventual) replacement of hardware platforms.
- Our resiliency is greatly enhanced via the use of snapshots. These can restore a server very quickly.
- Overall performance is improved because the hypervisor intelligently allocates resources to the busiest VMs. No intervention needed.
- Restarting a server is now much faster than with hardware.

- -100% weekend operations

Scale best platform for the money!
- Our environment has only been off line for less than five days in five years.
- The ability to move resources from one node to another, and maintain up time.
- We have a huge ROI because of saving on manpower for setup, maintenance, administration, updates, extensions, support calls and also our backup strategy.
- Saving on administration time is at least 99% compared to the market leader.
- The Hypervisor cluster can be extended without any planning, downtime and about 30 min of setup time.
- Very good addition to our backup strategy. We generally don't need to restore from disk/tape, but just go back in time to a snapshot or mount any snapshot from any disk from any server to any other server to check for deleted files, etc.
- Support calls are hassle-free, fast and have no overhead of collection logs or dealing with first-level support, etc.

... we did it !
