We use Scale Computing Platform to host our production servers in a virtual environment. The ability to scale out our VMs according to our business needs is a great help. We are a Small-to-Medium Business and the ability to be "hands off" with our hosting platform has been a great help.

Fantastic Product!

As the Automation Professional for a large pasta manufacturer, I use the SCALE computing platform to host all of the plant's automation servers. As a 24/7-363 operation, these systems are critical for our day-to-day operations. We have been using the SCALE computing system for five years and have found it to be reliable, easy to operate, and manageable. In the rare case when I've had to call for technical support, the service has been prompt and professional. I would highly recommend SCALE Computing and their products!

Getting a leg up with SCALE.

Scale Platform allowed us to migrate several of our aging bare metal systems to a virtualized environment that allowed us greater redundancy, lower operating costs, and easier management. Despite being a small company, we had many initiatives that required in-house systems for development and production. Additionally, a reluctance to move our services to the cloud prompted us to run the services we needed (email, file services, database services) on systems we personally maintained. The use of Scale provided a more efficient and cost-effective solution for managing the individual group of on-premise systems.

Scale Computing Platform has replaced our previous environment which was a mixture of physical servers and a different, more complicated virtual environment. The previous environment was harder to use, and used quite a bit more energy, which once caused a power surge that forcefully powered down everything. Since switching to Scale Computing Platform, the environment is easy to use and manage, we have lower electricity costs, and any issues that have occurred were handled quickly and easily by support. We recently replaced our Scale Computing Platform cluster with a newer version, and the process was seamless.

Scale Review.

Production servers running our business, including SQL and Oracle Databases. The scale was easy to deploy, and its simplicity makes it ideal for smaller IT shops with limited resources. After Broadcom bought out VMware, replacing it was required, causing a spike in VMware licensing costs.
