- Replicate and failover to remote systems
Business Resiliency Built for Digital Transformation
Scale Computing has built its business on the principles of resiliency and end-to-end data protection. The Business Resiliency System (BRS) takes this to another level by giving organizations everything they need to avoid downtime, lost revenue, and fallout from cyber attacks. By delivering full data protection, the BRS along with Acronis Cyber Backup 15 Advanced allows IT administrators to rest assured that their systems will stay up and running.
Benfits:
Active ransomware protection, granular-file level backups, long-term archiving, and instant recoveries are central to the Business Resiliency System. Plus, IT Administrators can capture these benefits without the need to install “in-guest” backup agents. With the BRS, customers can virtually eliminate downtime thus improving business outcomes and confidence.
Ease of Management:
Comprehensive data protection strategies can be hard to implement and even harder to maintain. The Business Resiliency System utilizes Scale Computing’s award-winning interface, thus eliminating confusion and time consuming management tasks. IT administrators can now build out robust business continuity strategies without pulling too much time away from their other critical responsibilities.
Features:
HC3: The simple, scalable, highly available
appliance solution for modern virtualization.
Overview
Scale Computing provides a complete virtualization solution for the data center or edge computing in a single appliance designed for rapid deployment, ease-of-use, reliability, seamless scaling, high performance, and cost effectiveness.
Edge Computing and Hyperconverged Infrastructure
HC3 brings together virtualization, servers, storage, and backup/disaster recovery into a
single solution. All of the components are built together into the solution, including the
hypervisor, without the need for any third party components or licensing. Every component
has been designed for a highly available, self-healing, highly efficient virtualization
infrastructure that is easy to manage locally or remotely.
Simplicity
Ease of use and simplified management are what HC3 does best. HC3 eliminates wasteful, mundane management tasks that occupy the valuable time of IT administrators rather than allowing them time to focus on innovation and improving business processes. The simplicity of HC3 directly impacts IT with higher productivity and lower costs.
- Install in less than an hour
- Fully integrated, cluster-wide resource utilization and alters
- Built-in browser-based management
- Software-defined, hybrid storage system with automated tiering
- Integrated all-in-one appliance
- Single vendor support experience, no disparate systems to integrate
- Deploy new VMs in minutes
Scalability
One of the most challenging tasks for IT can be adding capacity to existing infrastructure. With HC3, the simplicity of design and ease of use allow for seamless scaling of infrastructure. New appliances can be added into a running cluster seamlessly, within minutes, without disruption to any running workloads. Different models and capacities can be used together in nearly any combination to scale out resources as needed.
- Scale-out Architecture
- Mix and match new nodes
- Easily expand, no downtime required
- Improved performance of existing workloads
- No additional licensing required
- Grow as your business grows
Availability
HC3 is inherently more stable and highly available than traditional virtualization solutions. Redundancy, high availability, and resiliency are built into HC3 in every way, including the option of disaster recovery as a service. With HC3, planned and unplanned downtime can be virtually eliminated, creating more confidence with customers both internal and external.
- All VMs created on HC3 are Highly Available
- Automatic failover for node failures
- Automatic restriping of data for failed disk
- Fully self-healing
- Non-disruptive upgrades of HyperCore
- No single point of failure
Maximum Uptime:
HyperCore technology helps you find and prevent infrastructure problems in real time. Applications are always available, even as hardware problems arise or updates are applied.
One Unified Platform:
HC3 architecture eliminates hardware and software silos, with built-in self-healing, local high-availability, remote disaster recovery, and hybrid cloud capabilities. Customers can add additional resources, without downtime. They can also manage sites individually or centrally, with complete flexibility in how sites are grouped, orchestrated, and monitored. No VMware or additional hypervisor license is required.
Extraordinarily Easy:
As intuitive as a smartphone, the system doesn't require any specialized training, certification, or onsite IT expertise to get started. HC3 systems can be deployed in minutes, with only minimal IT support.
Fantastic Economics:
HC3 offers the industry’s lowest edge acquisition and deployment cost and can reduce ongoing management costs by 60-80%. Monitor one to thousands from a single interface, with a platform that can grow from the smallest edge location to the largest centralized data center, under a single architecture. No virtualization licensing costs required.
Use Cases:
HC3 virtualization infrastructure can be used in a variety of ways but here are some of the most common use cases for our HC3 customers.
Virtualization Without Licensing
With HC3, the hypervisor is included with no additional costs or licensing fees. HC3 customers who had paid VMware licensing fees in the past see the value in becoming free of these extra fees for lower costs and more budget freed up.
Backup and High Availability
HC3 customers see the value of built-in backup and high availability after their legacy solutions had proven ineffective despite being an added cost. With options for offsite and cloud-based DR, HC3 customers have peace of mind that their VMs and data are protected.
Lowering Infrastructure TCO
Our customers have all been looking to lower their total cost of ownership (TCO) for IT infrastructure. We have designed HC3 to reduce IT infrastructure costs in almost every way. Many of the hidden costs of IT infrastructure such as unplanned downtime, management, maintenance, training, and consulting are virtually eliminated with HC3. Other solutions that integrate multiple vendor solutions only add complexity which increases costs. We believe HC3 is a better way, and our customers agree.
Edge Computing & Distributed Enterprise
HC3 customers who manage remote sites see the value in HC3 for both ease of use and low entry cost. The ease of use, rapid deployment, self-healing, and remote web-based management capabilities mean that their remote sites can be managed more efficiently and with less cost.
Virtual Desktops (VDI)
The low cost, ease-of-use, and scalability of HC3 make it perfect for VDI infrastructure. Scale Computing has validated our solution with VDI vendors to allow our customers to implement VDI from the SMB to the enterprise.
