Overall Satisfaction with Scale Computing HC3
We use the Scale Computing HC3 platform across our whole organization. With its ease of use, we are able to obtain 99.9% uptime as well as a full DR site with 100% of our data. It solves the need by not requiring complicated switching equipment, advanced networks, etc. All of the systems are essentially self-contained and require near 0 maintenance.
- DR - Scale does DR really well. With a few clicks, you can have a (or more) multiple DR sites.
- Ease of use - The system is extremely easy to use through it's GUI. With a few clicks, you're able to spin a VM up and have it set up snapshots and replication to other sites.
- Ability to share or use dynamic memory.
We run our entire environment on the HC3 system. Primary & Backup domain controllers, application servers, file servers and most importantly our terminal servers. I have been blown away by the ease of use, performance and redundancy with the system.
- To be honest - It's still a bit early to accurately tell our ROI -- But so far, we are happy.
- VMware ESXi and XenServer
For us, the ease of use, affordability and support from Scale are the main reasons we chose to go with them.
