Overall Satisfaction with Scale Computing HC3
Scale Computing is being used as the primary server structure at our company.
Everything from our Domain Controller, to DNS, to File servers, are hosted on Scale.
This addresses our concerns for redundancy, easy backups, and scalability.

- Fast Support.
- Easy to use, deploy and manage.
- Great pricing.
- Individual nodes are not upgradable. I'd like to see us be able to swap out drives for larger volume drives, rather than need to purchase new nodes to increase capacity.
- Not enough control. If we choose to stop using Scale Support, we have no access to manage the back end of the servers in case of a failed node.
DNS Services, in house ticketing systems, and pretty much any memory or CPU intensive products that require fast failover in case of a node failure.
- Positive -- lower cost to implement than other solutions, and great support.
- Negative -- Now that we need more storage space, we are required to purchase another node rather than simply upgrade storage space on existing nodes.
