    Efficient resource management maintained despite rapid district growth with SCALE

    5.0
    Jun 23, 2026
    We have been a SCALE customer for over 10 years. As our school district has grown, so has SCALE (product features) as well as the implementation of our SCALE Clusters (to match our size needs and increases). In many situations and use cases in technologies, these types of increases have a cascading impact: More users requires more storage and processing capabilities; more capabilities requires more servers; more services requires more space; increased space requires more cooling... and so on. HOWEVER, with SCALE, this is absolutely NOT the case. Despite our recent 40% growth, our overall footprint, along with supporting resources has not grown in size and space. The SCALE technology is so efficient that we rotate to new equipment, which often consumes less space and resources. Think about this when compared to other virtualization resources: More of everything! If SCALE wasn't already the top provider, they are now making it possible for us to utilize some of our existing resources for scenarios where space is limited. Every year we attend SCALE Platform and come away energized knowing we have the best technology available to manage our district systems. SCALE is exceptionally reliable and we're fortunate to have the company as a partner to the district.

Like

First, Ease of Use. This will ALWAYS lead the reasons for which we moved from legacy solutions to SCALE. Second, Support. This will ALWAYS closely-follow ease of use; SCALE is aware of an issue before we are notified internally. And, when these rare cases occur (such as a failed drive), the notice from SCALE support is not for us to give it attention, but rather, to notify us that SCALE has overnight-shipped the replacement drive and we will install it immediately (and without any downtime). Third, SCALE lives on the outer-edges of technology trends. They now what the market is in need of and they have already determined (and often already engineered) the most efficient solutions and features upgrades. Fourth, Sales. SCALE is not in your face. They know they have the best and that it doesn't require regular and annoying prodding. They are always there if we need their help, but they are not always in our business. This is much appreciated.

Incompatibility with backup solutions. Vulnerable to windows update corruptions without announcements or communication to inform us of potential issues.
