Overall Satisfaction with Scale Computing Platform
Scale Computing Platform has replaced our previous environment which was a mixture of physical servers and a different, more complicated virtual environment. The previous environment was harder to use, and used quite a bit more energy, which once caused a power surge that forcefully powered down everything. Since switching to Scale Computing Platform, the environment is easy to use and manage, we have lower electricity costs, and any issues that have occurred were handled quickly and easily by support. We recently replaced our Scale Computing Platform cluster with a newer version, and the process was seamless.
Pros
- Simplicity - I do not have to create storage buckets or micromanage anything.
- Efficiency - Lower power use since moving to a hyperconverged environment.
- Scalability - Adding additional hardware is easy, and increasing things like the amount of RAM or number of cores is easy.
Cons
- I would like to see an option to schedule updates to occur outside of business hours without manual intervention.
- The used disk space gauge for each VM is not accurate.
- The virtio drivers worked rather poorly with the anti-virus product we recently switched to. We had to switch drivers.
I have found Scale Computing Platform to be a lot simpler. I don't need to have a vSphere server running. I don't have to worry about my predecessor leaving my SAN carved up into small buckets, etc. I also don't need hearing protection when I am in the server room now, so that's nice.
