Overall Satisfaction with Scale Computing Platform

We switched to Scale Computing last year when we were due to replace our VMware virtual infrastructure. Switching to Scale has made everything so much more straightforward; it is really user-friendly, and working with it over the last year has saved us countless hours on both maintenance and deployment times. We use it to host our virtual server environment; converting over from VM was seamless, and the Scale team was a great help along the way.

Pros

  • Simplifies maintenance and upgrade times.
  • Easy to use interface.
  • Robust backup solutions available.
  • Compatible with leading backup vendors such as Acronis and Wasabi.

Cons

  • Better support for legacy OS's.
  • Better support for legacy hardware.
  • 3rd party implementation documentation.
Scale support has been great; the initial setup was done over a series of scheduled calls, they really hit the nail on the head with their onboarding process, and everything was written out so you were ready to go once your next call started. Kudos to the Scale Support Team and their continued service!
We have been able to move over all our critical function servers to the Scale platform with zero issues, we are running everything from our Scale Platform, including active directory controllers, state-wide testing software, student information systems, and robust financial database systems. The conversion was simple, the maintenance is easy, and the performance of the machines has been top-notch.
  • ROI over five years was satisfied after one.
  • Has saved over 40 hours of manpower maintaining and updating.
  • Given us the ability to populate servers faster and trust they just work!
At the end of the day, and in the environment we are in, Scale just fits the bill, both price-wise and functionality-wise. Upgrading our VM environment was always a week-long process, now, it is a twenty-minute process, implementing, converting VMs, and rolling everything over to Scale was completed in less than a week's time, and that included training.

Scale is a perfect solution for schools looking to switch over from a clunkier system such as VMware. They simplify how virtual computing is handled and, over the year, has been nothing but stable. We are able to roll out the newest updates and patches over three nodes with zero downtime and offer a backup node that is easy to set up and use, and make restoring VMs on the fly a walk in the park.
