Overall Satisfaction with Scale Computing HC3

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It is being used across the organization. This new system will address server consolidation, central management, and redundancy on the IT side.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Management and Consolidation
Redundancy
Easy and Intuitive Console
Performance

Cons

I don't know at the moment as we are just new to Scale and are just getting to know and understand it.

Support Rating

The support I've had to date in the setup of our new systems has been great. I haven't used any other support route yet.

Return on Investment

Savings on IT management
Being able to be proactive vs reactive
Able to deal with system failures in a more timely fashion

Alternatives Considered

Anuta Networks NCX and Dell EMC PowerScale (emc isilon)

Other systems were more complex and expensive and weren't as easy to manage.

Scale Computing HC3 is well suited for small or medium organizations that require one management interface with everything integrated from a server-storage perspective. Small IT has a challenge learning and managing so much these days that having a centralized dashboard to deep dive into that infrastructure is very important.
