Scale Computing Platform Reviews & Product Details

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™ edge computing solution 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 Scale Computing HyperCore™ virtualization suite 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™ edge orchestration software 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.

"Great platform, great service, migration is lacking"

4/5

What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

It was easy to get installed and configured. The management interface is simple and fairly easy to figure out. Creating new virtual machines takes 3-4 clicks. Support is fast and responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

The Carbonite-based migration tool and licensing was not good. SC support relied on Carbonite for support and I was finding solutions to issues faster than they were. Our migration licenses expired because we spent so much time troubleshooting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless VM Migration and Setup"

5/5

What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

I find it very easy to use the Scale Computing Platform. Running VMs is a breeze, and I don't have to worry about hardware repairs since they're covered under the contract. I also appreciate how simple it is to set up networking and VMs. The migration process was straightforward; I just downloaded the virtual drives from VMWare and uploaded them to Scale.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

I don't like that you need specific switches for a backplane network. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Amazingly Easy, Cost-Effective VM Management"

5/5

What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

I find the Scale Computing Platform amazing and easy to use. It's a plug and play platform that's incredibly straightforward for our support team to jump on and address any issues. The ease of management across all locations is a standout feature for us. The initial setup was amazingly easy, so much so that we only added complexity ourselves.

"It just works, and it works well"

5/5

What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

I don't have to spend a bunch of time managing and configuring things. I can tweak it if I want, but mostly it just works without me having to worry about it. And the support has been fantastic. If some guys from Scale stopped by and asked me to go to Waffle House with them to throw down with guys from *redacted*, I would have their backs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

Error conditions could provide a more detailed description. It's very rare that I get one, but the last time I did it was pretty vague. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I migrated from a different, well-known solution to Scale. I was surprised by how easy and simple things were in the Scale environment. I also enjoy that we are using less power with this hyperconverged system than the previous solution (which had caused some problems when it managed to overload the circuit). It also greatly simplified recovery from a recent ransomware attack. Restoring from a snapshot taken hours before the attack greatly sped up the recovery process, and the unspecified malware gang named after a famous Anime can get wrecked.
