availability, and scalability in a single hyperconverged ...hc3 scale computing’s hc3...
TRANSCRIPT
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.
: The Virtualization Platform designed to deliver simplicity, availability, and scalability in a single hyperconverged appliance.HC3
Scale Computing’s HC3 virtualization platform is a complete ‘datacenter in a box’ with server, storage and virtualization integrated into a single appliance delivered at a fraction of the cost.

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.

HC3 was designed to make the traditional concepts of server, storage and virtualization obsolete. Scale Computing is leading the way in hyperconvergence for the SMB, what analysts are identifying as an integrated architecture of server, storage and virtualization.
