AVAILABLE

Scale Computing incorporated high availability into

every level of the HC3 architecture design

including hypervisor-level VM failover, storage

resiliency, redundant hardware components, and

even failover between HC3 clusters. Every VM

created on HC3 is automatically highly available.

HC3 stripes and mirrors data across all of the

drives in the cluster similar to RAID 10 architecture

so there is no single point of failure. In the event of

a failed node, HC3 automatically determines

placement and restarts the virtual machines on

other nodes. This clustered architecture provides

all of the fault tolerance, redundancy, and

automation built in for a highly available

infrastructure.

SCALABLE Grow on demand. HC3’s clustered, scale out

architecture allows you to seamlessly add

capacity as you need it, eliminating the need to

overprovision and pay for resources you won’t

be using. Simply add nodes when needed to

increase performance, compute and storage

capacity. This architecture future-proofs your

infrastructure allowing users to add newer,

better, faster nodes into the infrastructure as

they become available. Your business’s growth is

unpredictable. With HC3, you no longer have to

play the guessing game or attempt to forecast for

the unknown, what you’ll need in 6 months, 1

year, 2 years. Simply add capacity and

performance as you need it.

SIMPLE

Rather than treat storage, servers, virtualization,

and management as different datacenter silos,

HC3 brings these components together in a

single, unified system. This unified architecture,

which includes advanced automation features,

allows IT administrators to focus on managing

applications, not infrastructure. HC3 lowers

out-of-pocket costs and radically simplifies the

infrastructure by eliminating the need for external

storage, virtualization licensing, or deep-dive

training on virtual infrastructure. HC3 products

make deploying and managing a highly

available, scalable, and high performance

infrastructure as easy as managing a single

server.

Efficiency & Performance:

While most hyperconverged products integrate storage using a Virtual Storage Appliance (VSA), Scale’s HC3 integrates storage with the hypervisor

allowing for a streamlined IO path and superior performance with less hardware resources. This architecture eliminates the need for a Controller VM that

runs alongside your other important workloads competing for resources. Even in the SMB, performance matters. HC3 utilizes a technique called wide-

striping to make use of all drives in all nodes of the cluster, aggregating the drives capabilities for maximum read/write IOPs. For those workloads that

would benefit from the added performance provided by SSD, Scale’s tiering functionality uses the same wide-striping technique across all available SSDs

in the cluster. With HC3, SSDs are a performance option…not a requirement to mask the performance inefficiency of the architecture.

Remote Office/Branch Office

Businesses are growing, and branch and remote

offices are essential to that growth. HC3 is built

to be a highly automated virtualization platform

that can enable a remote/branch office environ-

ment. Server, storage and virtualization integrat-

ed into one appliance allows for simple deploy-

ment and management to branch/remote office

environments.

Cost Savings

HC3 drastically reduces cost over traditional

virtualization vendors who force you to buy

licenses per feature, and additional hardware

such as a SAN or NAS. Add management

software and before you know it, the cost has

spiraled out of control. With HC3, you have no

additional licensing or hardware to purchase.

Reduced OPEX And Management Time

HC3 allows you to focus on the business. Not

only does HC3 control the hardware cost, but

also simplifies management of virtualization.

HC3 is simple to deploy, provision, and manage.

No specialized certifications or skill sets are

required, nor cumbersome procedures, just

simplified infrastructure to keep your applications

up and running.

Continuous High Availability

Keeping the importance of uptime in mind, HC3

has built-in high availability across all nodes and

VMs. This eliminates the headache of figuring

out HA needs, segmenting workloads and

applications, and wasting time and resources on

a cumbersome process. Even software updates

happen non-disruptively. HC3 HA means you will

never have to worry.

Moving Away From VMware or Hyper-V

For those businesses currently running VMware

or Hyper-V facing expensive upgrades to either

the infrastructure or the software stack, there’s

an alternative. With no additional licensing or

hardware to purchase, HC3 is an affordable and

easy to use option for virtualization that provides

the high availability, scalability and performance

needed for the SMB.

First-Time Virtualizers

Virtualization has gone mainstream. The reasons

are endless as to why you should virtualize. If

you are planning virtualization for some or all of

your workloads, don't get trapped into outmoded,

complex virtualization architecture. Automation

and scalability allow you to converge and

simplify your infrastructure, while growing your

business.
