"No Fuss, No Muss with a Proviso"
5/5
What do you like best about SC// HyperCore Virtualization Suite?

Running cores services on Scale is ridiculously simple. I mean, dead easy. Spin up a new VM? Done in a flash. Downtime? Not likely, these things keep on going and going and going. Uptime? 7 billion hours.

If you've ever been to a concert and seen the guitar players with a million peddles and knobs ... thats cool but can easily get in the way. Scale gives you the dulcet tones you are looking for, but without needing to fiddle with 1000 knobs.

Support? Well, you may not ever need it because things run smoothly and so you'll just think up some minor grievance, just so you can have a quick little chat with the Scale team. Expecting a reply to your email tomorrow? Nope, you're getting one today!

Want to add a node? Yeah, that's easy if you know how to lift a server, play with cage nuts, and plug in a few cables. Done.

What else can I say? It's that simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SC// HyperCore Virtualization Suite?

First, If you are that guy at the front of the stage at a Wilco concert ogling all the pedals and knobs used by the guitar palyers and you think a server should be the same, then Scale is not for you. You probably want a platform where you can fine tune every last aspect needlessly in an effort to feel important, offering aggrandizing reports of your accomplishments to upper mgmt.

Second, and more seriously, Scale was recently merged with Acumera, and backed by Oaktree Capital Management, so expect some weird and fishy stuff to start happening to price, support quality, and more. If there is one thing financial firms are good at, it's making cuts. They are not good at retaining and building quality support (outsource it instead to an indifferent entity paying people a fraction of what internal staff were being paid), and keeping subscription / pricing clear and fair. I anticipate this to go Broadcom, if you catch my drift. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how straightforward the system is without feeling overly basic. It works great and performs well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Scale Computing has been nothing but helpful and easy to use"
5/5
What do you like best about SC// HyperCore Virtualization Suite?

From the time I start working in my position in Information Technology to now, a total of 5 years I have used the Scale Computing Platform. Scale's products are very easy to configure and install, especially with the help of their 24 hours support team. I appreciate every phone call and email I have received from Scale's support team. There have been times when I am dead in the water and Scale's Support is there to help me get back online in no time at all. The warranty provided with each product is worth every penny spent on the product. Each and every member of Scale's support team has helped me and never left me hanging.

When installing the system the ease of installing and command line is simple when you have someone on the phone with you as well as documentation provided to get everything done as quick as possible. My servers are online 24/7, around the clock as our agency is also 24/7.

We are able to use Scale Computing and integrate every aspect of our agency into Scale Platform. This has been upgrading servers even easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SC// HyperCore Virtualization Suite?

So far, I do not dislike anything about the Scale Computing Platform. Scale's products have kept my servers online 24/7 with only a few hiccups relating to software updates. Even then, Scale's support team was there to get everything progressing again. Keep up the good work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Highly recommend taking Scale for a spin"
5/5
What do you like best about SC// HyperCore Virtualization Suite?

The Scale Computing system is remarkably user-friendly and eliminates much of the uncertainty around hardware compatibility. The platform as a whole is more affordable than many other virtualization architecture licenses by themselves. Additionally, their support team has been very helpful, assisting us throughout the entire process of migrating our infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
