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.

"Happy customer"

5/5

What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

I like the Scale platform because it is easier to use than other VMs, and does exactly what we need it to do.

We currently have it for 3 of our locations and currently building our clusters using your new552F line.

Its Fast, effective and affordable.

Anytime I have needed to speak with support they are always, friendly, informative, and it is hard to find good support these days, but not with Scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

The down side I currently experience is not really with Scale but with Acronis Backups. I believe we have all of those wrinkles ironed out now but not at the fault of Scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We do not have to purchase physical hardware, we can pick and choose what our servers need as far as CPUs, RAM, etc.. If we find an error on our end, at times its just faster to spin up a new machine instead of investing the time it would take to troubleshoot the issue which gives us less down time.

"Highly scalable and reliable platform"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

SCALE is becoming a leader in edge infrastructure, while also advancing data center technologies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

Supply chain challenges persist as an issue for older hardware. Better forecasting with customers on planning would help mitigate these challenges. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Scale Computing - among the best choices I have made as a network manager."

5/5

What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

When creating VMs, setting up the # of CPUs, allocated memory and disk space is incredibly simple. After migrating to Scale Computing, I set up VMs running Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2008, Windows 10, Centos 7, and Redhat 8. In my opinion, one of the best features of Scale Computing is how easy I can manage my VMs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

Scale doesn't (at the time of this writing) support Microsoft's VM-Generation ID feature. This feature is intended to allow for the safe rollback of a Domain Controller from a snapshot when there is more than one Domain Controller in use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We had numerous hardware platforms that were approaching (or had outlived) their end of life. These included database servers, file servers and user resources, such as print servers. Numerous old servers could not be upgraded to the newest Windows editions and we were getting hardware failures. Moving everything to Scale Computing gave us an avenue to escape the hardware refresh headaches.

With Scale we eliminated a great deal of hardware by virtualizing these functions. We reduced our physical footprint and the cost to operate and cool all that hardware. Another big win was being able to virtualize and operate older operating systems when licensing or compatibility issues precluded a move to anything newer. Scale helped us assemble and use tools to virtualize some very old systems which would be impossible to keep running as hardware. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Highly compelling platform"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

Scale Computing offers exceptional value, simplicity, and reliability for its target audience. It excels in environments where ease of use, minimal overhead, and cost-effectiveness are priorities. For IT teams that don’t need massive scale or enterprise-level complexity, it’s a highly compelling platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

If you’re coming from something like VMware with all the bells and whistles, you might notice some gaps—especially around advanced networking or automation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is versatile and grows with our needs. Has an immutable layer for backups. Very straight forward to set up new VM's. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

Haven't found anything we dislike with the platform. Some updates only apply to certain hardware platforms and the updater will keep saying to "update" even though it doesn't apply. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"What do not realise is that you are gaining a really helpful team."

4.5/5

What do you like best about Scale Computing Platform?

The technology is really good but what I like best is the customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scale Computing Platform?

I think the product or product suite is still in its infancy stage so I think this gripe will get better. I think just increasing the ease of use and improving the UX. I also think although the support is really good. I feel that there needs to be a team that is contacting sompanies using scale and introducing them to other things they can use scale for. A team that will take adeep dive in to how we are using scale and then suggest new ways to use it and new things you can spin up. afterall its free to spin up new things. This can increase customers value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
