Overall Satisfaction with Scale Computing HC3

Scale is providing 98% of our virtual infrastructure for the entire CU.
  • Ease of Deployment
  • Baked in replication
  • US Based Support that cares about their clients
  • Increased support from software manufacturers
Support is the key difference between products. The Scale solution is a great product with a ton of smart people developing the solution with innovative forward thinking strategies to supply an alternative to the traditional products. With all that goes into the design we just want it to work, and the ability to call and get someone without delay who is close to the development of the product is paramount. This company separates themselves by following up and ensuring you are satisfied.
We run voice and data applications that support our environment, and the built-in replication to another cluster affords us the peace of mind to fail-over and it just works. No third party products to worry about, no crazy changes, just fail-over and you are up and running in minutes. We demand high availability for specific applications that affect tens of thousands of members.
  • VMWare Licensing in itself along with NOT using VEEAM has provided huge savings to our bottom line
We chose Scale because of the people first, and the product second. The desire to truly want our business and the commitment to be hands on in our deployment was a huge factor. The product also is a much less expensive solution to the others I mentioned but packed with features.
I believe Scale Computing Hc3 is supported from SMB to SME, and possibly even larger. We have 99% of our workloads migrated to the Scale solution but there are a couple that only support VMWare, and mainly because they have no reason to support another solution at this time. That will continue to change. The solution works extremely well.
