- 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: Smart, Simple, Effective, Reliable, and so much more...
- Our Scale investment will pay for itself in 2 years with the reductions we're seeing in server licensing, management software, backup software, and online backup services.
- We've had zero downtime attributable to Scale.
- Meeting tight timescales at an affordable price meant our business re-organisation was able to actually occur.
- Outsource support teams are confused by it - because of its simplicity - they keep trying to make something more complex than it is to keep earning unjustified fees
- Being able to carry out rolling upgrades with live users on the cluster went just fine
- Everything you wanted and more without being cluttered by things you might think you need. No bloat and that is one of its strong points. They keep it simple and functional.
- Simplicity of the VM environment to manage is key, as IT staff can dedicate themselves to all other work that is required.
- Importing of existing VM's was good, with minimal hassle or problems, the time saved with their utilities was tremendous.

Great solution!
- Time savings is probably the biggest difference so far. It saves a lot of time on setup and maintenance.

Scale HC3 - Perfect for the small to medium size business
- We are now running in an environment that is under warranty.

Scale Computing HC3 - Review
- When positioned with the right customer the ROI can be huge.

SCALE: Affordable HCI for the Masses.
- It has greatly increased our performance coming from an aging Cisco UCS solution.
- It makes day to day management much easier than VMware. Everything is in one easy to use interface that is very responsive.
November 24, 2020
Dumped Xen for Scale
- We now have one server provider.
- Scale was cheaper then cloud services after about the 18 month mark.
- Scale allows us to easily add new server VMs without a new hardware purchase.

Scale Computing HC3: the best VM platform
- We have been able to retire multiple servers instead of replacing them. This has saved 10s of thousands of dollars.
- We have been able to test separately and combine services to find the perfect balance. This would previously have required multiple official servers.
November 24, 2020
Scale HC3, it's all you need.
- Enterprise class functionality in an SMB package.
- Show Stopping Interface, simple enough for the untrained.
November 24, 2020
Scale Computing HC3 cluster has allowed us to easily grow as needed
- The high availability that Scale has given our company has had the greatest impact on our company.
- Not specific to Scale but more of a VM issue is software licensing. It is quite a bit more expensive to license Microsoft products to run in the clustered environment.
November 24, 2020
Tip the Scales in your favor, go with Scale!
- The positives are numerous. Our servers are faster than when they were physical, up time has vastly improved, we've saved money on power by eliminating old hardware.
- I have yet to see a negative impact on the ROI for the system.
November 24, 2020
Scale Computing Customer's Review
- We spend less time managing infrastructure and more time taking care of our customers.
- We are better able to plan for the future and calculate the cost of our growth.
- We don't have to come up with different configurations for different needs. One solutions meets them all.

Scale Computing HC3: Believe the Hype.
- Partially due to the ease of managing and maintaining the Scale Computing HC3system, we were able to eliminate our MSP.
- Due to the ease of managing and maintaining the Scale Computing HC3 system, I have more time to engage in higher-level projects.
- When we calculated the cost savings of eliminating our MSP, not having to purchase additional hardware for 5 years, and time saved managing the system, we'll save over 400k in the next 5 years!

Scale Computing Rocks!
- We used to use a Dell AppAssure server for bare metal recovery. I had an entire RAID Array fail and it took hours to get the server restored. When it was restored there were all kinds of issues with Windows Sever that we did not expect even though the hardware was identical. I no longer have to worry about this because I have dome HR with Scale and it was flawless.
- The server can be a bit loud when it is being heavily utilized.
- Everything runs bulletproof.

CL Malach scaled up with Scale Computing HC3
- Superior DR position with interconnectivity of clusters from three locations
- Reduced anxiety from ransomware
- CAPEX is priced higher than traditional solution but offset by its stability and ease of management, allowing myself to contribute more toward other business processes

Scale Computing HC3 Review
- Savings on IT management
- Being able to be proactive vs reactive
- Able to deal with system failures in a more timely fashion

Hyper Converged with limited time and staffing
- Time savings has been a huge plus
- Not needing extensive training is also a big plus.
- When licensing is due it is a bit heavy but what licensing isn't?
October 29, 2020
Absolute best hyper-converged system on a budget
- I cannot say this product has had any negative impact on our business.
October 28, 2020
Scale Computing HC3 Review
- Reduced our potential investment in big and legacy system environments.
October 28, 2020
Scale Computing HC3 is easy to use and maintain!
- With the HC3 system being an "all-in-one" solution, the costs are lower than what we had with our previous virtual system with all of the licensing costs needed for that other system.
October 26, 2020
New to HC3 but I seem like an expert because of its simplicity.
- Easier to deal with one vendor than many
