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.

No real downsides other than a small lack of compatibility with some virtual hard drive formats, but even those we have been able to overcome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hardware is fast and allows me to spin up multiple devices and move them around quickly. I have snapshots galore and can move to any of those at any time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Highly scalable and reliable platform"

What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

Ease of use and administration. Hands down the simplest in the space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

You have to have an entire server/node to expand a cluster. For example, if you only need storage space, the options are only to upgrade hard drives (assuming you're not at capacity already) or add another full node. Not a deal breaker but it could be costly if you only need to address a single component such as memory or storage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

"Reliable and Communicative Partner"

What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

I highly recommend Scale to anyone looking for a reliable and communicative partner. Their customer service has made a significant positive impact on my experience, and I look forward to working with them again in the future for both new product/ service quotes and renewal quotes. They are pro-active in their communications and everyone I have spoken to has been very pleasant. We have many customers looking for an alternative to VMware due to the recent change in pricing structure, and I think Scale will be an excellent recommendation for an alternative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

I think they could make the partner portal a bit more intuitive to use, but it still functions well and I am able to find the information that I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As previously mentioned Scale is an excellent allternative to VMware. And I think the two biggest benefits our customers see is the Cost Efficiency and Scalability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent Solution"

What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

Previously a VMware user and now I would not go back, SCALE makes everything so much easier. Ease of integration and use, user friendly, implementing new VMs, creating and deploying VMs, hardware configurations, to snap shot schedules, to firmware updates, and restoring VMs from snap shots are all made super easy by SCALE. Customer support is very responsive and helpful with any issues. Just implemented a new Ubuntu server by importing the .vmdk file right to a new VM and done in less than 5 minutes.
