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.

"Scale HC3 is the evolution of hyper-convergence "

5/5

What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

Using scale is like a dream compared to other more complex systems. It is so easy to set a new VM and clone a template. No need for a big training to get up to speed. No need for an office expert to help you manage all your systems. Managing 60 VMs is not problem and multiple people can all have access to their part. This is truly one of those technologies that does save you time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Running Scale HC3 on our existing hardware is not available yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Smooth Implementation and Seamless Operation"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

Everything just worked. We set up virtual machines and they just worked. The back end configuration was all set. We have been running for around 8 months without a single issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

The only issue I have with the product is the way VLAN traffic is handled. Everything is on the default VLAN and so when you need to use additional VLANs you have to tag the VLAN in the VM. Also, the VM migration is painful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It just works ..."

5/5

What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

What a breath of fresh air coming from a VMWare environment - now I have instant snapshots, really fast VM replication and no datastores to manage because Scale manages them for me. One big memory and data storage pool to provision from, all thin provisioned - and the SSD tiering all completely automatic. You just set it and forget it. The Management GUI is so simple my Mum could use it. The Support is exceptionally good. The API integration is fantastic. The implementation and VM migration was amazing and simple - we used Acronis to do the migrations, how good is that. UEFI/TPM and Windows 11 - all covered. We use Scale every day and we are very pleased we made the switch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

I have not found any downside as yet - after 4 years it just works, not one glitch or failure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Seamless Platform for VM Management"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

The Scale Computing Platform is seamless and straightforward to use for IT administrators. It was relatively easy to implement the Scale nodes for the first time as Scale support technicians are very knowledgeable and willing to help. The remote connection tool built into the HyperCore System is very cool as it allows multiple users to view the remote display at the same time. Lastly, when receiving remote support, it is really easy as there is a remote connection tool the support technicians can use with your permission to connect to the server nodes in question. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

Everything has been great with Scale except for one instance where we had a drive fail after around 6 months of using the Scale nodes, which is a bit concerning. The support around this was exceptional, however, as we received a replacement drive with expedited shipping free of charge. There was no data lost as the drives run with redundancy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Scale Computing helped us modernize our on-prem infrastructure with both hardware and management software that outcompetes the competition. Rather than feeling left behind by the industry moving into the cloud, Scale Computing provides modern solutions for customers who use on-prem servers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
