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.

The Support is fantasic. The migration from our old server to scale was super easy, and our users are thrilled with the performance increase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

We don't have a good view of our server health, settings and logs... A few times now we have had to call support for an insight of unexpected behaviors. They were able to see and fix things that we were not able to see. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Satisfied Scale customer"

5/5

What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

We found the Scale Computing Platform to be very competitive from a cost stand point compared to VMware and other hyperconverged solutions. It was very easy to install and get up and running. The admin portal to intuitive and easy to use without any formal training. Scale support is first class and has always been very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy setup and management"

5/5

What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

My favorite part of the Scale Computing Plaform is the ease of patching. We used to spend weeks planning and gathering updates for VMware/Simplivity. Now we just click an upload button and it takes care of itself. Huge time saver while still staying secure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

Some additional features would be nice, such as allowing for a VM boot order. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Strong and Simple Hypervisor Solution"

4/5

What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

Scale is very easy to use on a daily basis. Having used their solution for nearly 5 years, I can't think of a time I've ever been stuck or had issues with their platform. When support is required, they've been quick and helpful to respond. Implementation was as easy as installing the hardware into the rack with cables, and let them handle the rest. We were able to migrate most of our VMs over with little support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

Scale is a locked-down solution. They don't license their platform to your own hardware. Their additional hardware support only lasts for 5 years from the purchase of the hardware, and their software support ends 2 years after that. I would prefer a solution that can be supported beyond this point. Also, since they are a smaller player in the field, some applications don't integrate nicely unless you choose one of their partners. For example, they have an integration with Acronis, but we use Veeam and therefore need to rely on agent-based backups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simplifying infrastructure for SMBs"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

The platform is very easy to use, offing a low on-going effort to get the infrastructure setup that an SMB would need. It can be easily configured in a variety of ways to cover things sure as DR, on-prem only, hybrid setups etc. Implementation can be done in under an hour. Customer support has always been responsive and knowledgeable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

The development team and highest tiers of support are located in the US, so timezone differences may impact responsiveness and availability in some cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Outstanding, easy to use, and dependable solution"

5/5

What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

I've been using the Scale HC platform for seven years now. I've installed four separate clusters servicing as primary production services and utilized others to serve as backups and recovery sources for business continuity. The Scale HC platform is by far the most intuitive and stress free product I've utilized as an engineer in terms of hyperconverged solutions. The firmware updates are seamless and I've never experienced any issues applying them. I've become confident enough with the product that I tend to deploy them during peak production hours with no worries that it will cause any performance issues. The support team is outstanding on the rare occassion that I've needed to utilize them. Integrating the solution into my existing environment was smooth and easy utilizing the Carbonite tool Scale requires to move from one solution to theirs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

I have very few "complaints" when it comes to the platform. The email system could be more granular in a sense of what alerts I want sent to which email addresses. The solution also requires support getting involved in order to enable SNMP. I also wish that it were easier to migrate guests from other solutions into Scale. Importing and exporting of VMs is done via file shares which I've had some struggles with but did get working utilizing IP addresses rather than FQDNs. These are all minimal concerns in comparison to the value of the product provides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
