Overall Satisfaction with Scale Computing HC3
We use HC3 to virtualize ALL server assets. High performance, delegatable interface.
- Super easy to use, easy to delegate to technicians
- Much lower cost than most competing products
- Excellent support
- Could use better integration with UPS's. Currently UPS shutdown has to be handled by a separate windows system
- Sometimes, migrating other vendor's VM appliances can be a bit "fiddly"
The system makes it very easy to allocate additional resources (RAM, CPU cores, Disk space) as needed, and simply.
We run our DNS and LDAP servers, on HC3, and found the the VM was under-supplied with disk space. Very simple to add more storage.

- We have found HC3 to be very robust, and very cost effective, especially relative to more traditional storage and virtualization products
NetAPP, EMC. All were more expensive by a long shot. Most also required VMWare licenses on top of the cost of the equipment.
