“Simple, reliable, and cost-effective Hyperconverged Infrastructure for lean IT Teams”

Dec 17, 2025
As an integrated platform its installation is very easy, the web interface is clear and easy to use, and required support over the years is very low. Sometimes the platform does not support certain OS or images but you can guess a workaround to make it work.

CRITICAL

“Do your homework”

3.0
Jun 1, 2023
Initially I was very impressed with the functionality and shared resource redundancy that removed single points of failure and allowed for scalability. I have come to learn over time that being a small player in the landscape, it is incompatible with several of the major backup solutions. I have also found that several recent windows upgrades have rendered our VMs useless after reboot. This caused us a significant outage two months ago. Now, I am not so sure about this solution.

Scale Computing Platform Likes & Dislikes

Like

What I like most about Scale Computing is their simplicity and reliability. The platform is very easy to deploy and manage, even with a small team, and it significantly reduces day to day administrative effort compared to traditional virtualization stacks.

Like

Redundancy and scalability

Like

Very easy to use interface at all sites and all tied together in a single Pane of Glass interface that shows all systems status at all times.

Dislike

One of the main drawbacks is the limited flexibility compared to more traditional virtualization platforms. Advanced customization options, integrations with some third party tools and fine grained control features are not as extensive as those offered by larger ecosystems.

Dislike

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

Dislike

Main weakness is in the fact that each unit in a cluster is not fully integrated yet. Each unit of the cluster can only run a VM that can fit on that unit. CPU, Ram, and Storage don't yet span across the members of the cluster.

    We implemented this solution on our production lines as a test, and it's been a great solution thus far. We are very satisfied with the availability, reliability, and ease of use. In addition, it's easy to train others on how to utilize the platform once it's stood up.
