Spec score 7.1 #6 of 17 in Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) Solutions

What it is

Scale Computing Platform combines virtualization, servers, storage, backup, disaster recovery, and fleet management for edge and distributed infrastructure. SC//HyperCore is a lightweight type 1 bare-metal hypervisor based on KVM components and integrated with the SCRIBE storage layer. SC//Fleet Manager centrally monitors and manages distributed clusters, including zero-touch provisioning. HyperCore is designed to recover from hardware failures and add nodes to a cluster. Automation is available through a REST API and a Red Hat Certified Ansible Collection. Azure Arc, Azure Monitor, and Azure Policy integrate with on-premises workloads. Scale positions the platform for edge sites and distributed enterprises, including locations with few or no on-site IT staff. Fleet Manager uses HTTPS public key infrastructure, encrypted connections, and tenant- and role-based access. Secure Link sends interface data to a browser over TLS 1.2 and closes its outbound connection when the session ends. The hybrid platform supports KVM, live migration, high availability, and disaster recovery. Phone support runs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year; email support is listed Monday through Friday. Pricing is on request.
