Overall Satisfaction with Scale Computing Platform

We use Scale Computing Platform for almost all of our Windows server systems (we still have one legacy system). I was introduced to Scale Computing Platform about 9 years ago and we have since been through and upgrade and a complete hardware replacement . We are currently planning on upgrading the hardware again next spring. Ease of use and outstanding technical support is why we stick with them.

We have SQL servers, Remote Desktop Servers and an Exchange Server all running on the Scale Computing Platform.

Pros

  • You can easily spin-up an new server in a very short period of time.
  • Technical support is excellent.
  • Adding storage to a virtual machine takes just a few clicks. No need to worry about LUNS , etc.

Cons

  • I would like to have different options for virtual hardware
One the few occasions I have had to contact customer support, they are fast and efficient in troubleshooting the issue and repairing/replacing hardware, etc. I highly recommend them . I even had to contact them in the middle of the night and got a quick response and solution. All systems were backup by the time morning shift arrived .
  • a fraction of the cost of other hyper converged options on the market
  • Saves money by not needing a specialized I.T. person specifically to run server operations.
  • Low maintenance costs
  • Automated reporting helps us be proactive instead of reactive
  • There is almost no downtime, so it boosts productivity
These other alternatives are much more expensive and lack the ease of use that Scale Computing Platform provides.

Yes

Would you buy Scale Computing Platform again?

Yes

I can't imaging our systems with Scale Computing Platform. It is a super reliable, easy to use alternative to VMWare. I have looked at other options but this is the best hyper converged platform I have found. Perfect for the company and the company's IT budget.
