Services

ScaleCare Premium Installation Service

HC3 is very easy to install and configure. Our engineers and customers can get a cluster up and running with live VMs in under an hour. Although we are confident you can get your HC3 system running smoothly on your own, we know you might want more. That is what our ScaleCare Premium Installation Service is all about.

If you want a jumpstart on your HC3 installation and expertise, we can assist you with every aspect of installation starting with planning, prerequisites, virtual and physical networking configuration, and give you priority scheduling. You get help even before you unbox your HC3 system to prepare for a worry-free install. The priority scheduling helps you plan your install around your own schedule, which we know can be both busy and complex.

The ScaleCare Premium Installation Service also includes remote installation with a ScaleCare Technical Support Engineer. This remote install includes a UI overview and setup assistance and if applicable, a walkthrough of HC3 Move software for workload migrations to HC3 of any physical or virtual servers. Remote installation means a ScaleCare engineer is with you every step of the way as you install and configure your HC3 system.

Finally, ScaleCare Premium Installation includes deep dive training of everything HC3 with a dedicated ScaleCare Technical Support Engineer. This training, which normally takes around 4 hours to complete, will make you an HC3 expert on everything from virtualization, networking, backup/DR, to our patented SCRIBE storage system. You’ll basically be a PHD of HC3 by the time you are done with the install.

ScaleCare Quickstart Migration Service

Our most commonly asked question about HC3 might be, “How do I move my workloads onto HC3 virtualization?” There are a number of migration products and services on the market, but none is simpler or more tailored to HC3 than our ScaleCare Quickstart Migration Service.

Our HC3 Move software solution, powered by Double-Take, migrates workloads with minimal downtime from any physical, virtual, or cloud platform onto HC3. The ScaleCare Quickstart Migration Service assists you in using HC3 Move to migrate your morkloads to HC3.

The HC3 ScaleCare Quickstart Migration Service migrates one Windows or Linux physical or virtual workload into an HC3 virtual machine. It is a kickstart for customers who plan to manage the migration of all other servers to HC3 and want to ensure they understand how to use our HC3 Move software successfully.

HC3 ScaleCare Quickstart Migration Service includes:

*HC3 licenses are purchased separately. No HC3 Move licenses are included with the Quickstart Migration Service.

ScaleCare Disaster Recovery (DR) Planning Service

With HC3, enabling disaster recovery is easy, but finding the time to put together a disaster recovery plan may be a bit more challenging. If you are short on time, or just aren’t even sure how you should start drafting and designing a DR plan, we can help. Our expert ScaleCare engineers will assist you in being fully prepared in case disaster strikes.

The ScaleCare DR Planning Service utilizes the native backup and replication features of HC3. ScaleCare Support Engineers will not only assist in setup and configuration of HC3 DR features, but will assist in drafting a complete disaster recovery plan, based on the proven DR runbook template used in Scale Computing’s Remote Recovery Service, the hosted disaster recovery service.

HC3 Cloud Unity

The availability of critical IT workloads is the highest priority for any administrator. Without applications and databases, productivity stalls. At Scale Computing, we understand that you may not have the facility or capacity to host your own disaster recovery site. We also understand that traditional agent-based backup solutions are too complex for modern virtualization needs.

To address your disaster recovery needs, we have not only built high availability and cluster-to-cluster replication into our HC3 clusters but we are now pleased to offer a disaster recovery service that enables you to protect your critical workloads to a virtual HC3 system hosted on Google Cloud Platform.

HC3 Cloud Unity

HC3 Cloud Unity provides a way to protect your site against disaster and the ability to failover your VM workloads within minutes from the cloud. Connected with L2 networking, users and administrators can reconnect quickly when workloads are failed over to the cloud. Google Cloud Platform is an ideal solution to ensure business continuity against site-level or regional disasters.
