Overall Satisfaction with Scale Computing HC3
We use Scale Computing HC3 for our Hyper Cluster environment. We have been migrating our VMWare clients to the HC3 environment.
- HC3 makes it very easy to set up VM clients. They provide graphical feedback of CPU Utilization and IOPs for each of the running clients.
- Setting up snapshot schedule is a breeze.
- With a DR Cluster, the snapshots can be transmitted to a DR Cluster for additional redundancy.
- Rolling back to a previous snapshot is not as intuitive as other vendor offerings. You must clone the snapshot and then boot the clone to roll back to a previous snapshot.
We run all of the servers that host our DB, email, and vertical market applications on the HC3 environment.
- We have saved a tremendous amount on maintenance cost, previously paying for maintenance on our servers, SAN and virtualization OS. The maintenance cost for HC3 covers all three categories and is less than what we were paying before.
Considerable cost savings running HC3 compared to VMware ESXi
