Scale Computing Platform Overview

What is Scale Computing Platform?

Scale Computing was founded to fulfill an IT infrastructure need often hindered by the complexity, time, and resources that traditional virtualized IT environments demand. Today, Scale Computing delivers a platform solution for data center, edge computing, virtualization technology, and hyperconverged infrastructure to customers worldwide. Award-winning Scale Computing Platform eliminates the need for traditional virtualization software, disaster recovery software, servers, and shared storage, replacing these with a fully integrated, highly available system for running applications. 1. Simplicity Engineered Eliminate mundane management tasks and save IT administrators valuable time. SC//Platform's simplicity directly impacts IT with higher productivity and lower costs. Using patented HyperCore™ technology, the self-healing platform automatically identifies, mitigates, and corrects problems in the infrastructure in real time, enabling applications to achieve maximum uptime even when local IT resources and staff are scarce. 2. Scalable Plan the perfect future by not predicting it. Simply mix and match old and new hardware and applications on the same infrastructure for a future-proof environment that can scale up or down as needed. The storage system avoids issues inherent in traditional network storage approaches (SAN and NAS). By embedding storage with the hypervisor, resources can be automatically pooled across an entire cluster, and new storage is automatically added when new nodes are introduced. 3. Secure SC//Platform is designed to be 'Secure by Default,' meaning security isn't an option—it's a fundamental component ingrained in every aspect of the system. This approach eliminates the need for extensive configuration or additional security layers post-deployment. Unlike alternative solutions that require a long and complex “security best practices” checklist, SC//Platform limits the potential for misconfiguration vulnerabilities. 4. Manageable Scale Computing Fleet Manager combines centralized management with cloud and local automation, allowing infrastructure and applications to achieve and maintain the desired state throughout the entire life of the environment. Zero-touch provisioning decreases the time of installation by 90% or more Secure Link allows access to the HyperCore UI for in-depth cluster management with the click of a button without needing expensive or complex remote access solutions such as VPN or RDP Real-time monitoring of all workloads across a global fleet of SC//HyperCore clusters is made even easier with a searchable and customizable view 5. Cost-Effective Reduce IT infrastructure costs in almost every way. Hidden IT infrastructure costs associated with downtime, management, maintenance, training, and consulting are reduced to almost nothing.

What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

Since moving from VMware to Scale computing I feel like I'm in a dream. Scale computing offers a hyper-converged system making life 10 times easier than alternative products. Having storage and compute in the same system makes spinning up a new VM effortless. Utilizing scales DR options is also easy as pie. Simply set up a DR system offsite and start replication across. I recommend Scale to anybody looking to enhance their virtual environment and make managing it even easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

I've had a one instance with the Sales team not entirely knowing how the migration process works, but support was quick to remedy this issue and get me the assistance I needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Scale Computing Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

Scale makes managing our virtual environment a breeze. Instead of spending hours to set up new VMs or replicate them to a DR node, Scale allows me to do this within a few minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Scale Computing Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

Scale enabled us to replace our VMware soultion with an easier to manage hypervisor with built in redundancy for disaster recovery failover to another site.
