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

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.

Like

Redundancy and scalability

Like

The setup team remotely walks you through the setup process which is fairly easy. They'll have you up and running in no time. The onboarding is online and either one-on-one with your support person, or in a team meeting for additional learning sessions. But overall it's so simple to setup and use. The only little issue I had was with migrating my VMs. I had a couple unix based systems that were quirky to migrate, but I don't feel this was a Scale issue. And the day-to-day support is top notch. They answer the calls immediately and you usually have an easy to understand support person in minutes. The support techs are extremely knowledgeable and easy to work with, and they even follow up the next day to check on things and see if the ticket can be closed or if additional assistance is required.

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.

Dislike

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

Dislike

Some VM migrations were difficult. Windows domain controllers are not recommended to migrate, but it can be done. I had a couple unix VMs that I had difficulty migrating to Scale, but eventually got them moved. But the support is definitely there to help and guide where they can.
