This innovative, new appliance delivers a small, powerful, and efficient HCI edge solution that can be deployed almost anywhere with the latest in performance and reliability. The HE153 series will have both a dual NIC option and a single NIC, slim option, making edge computing deployments even easier for IT teams.

The award-winning HE100 series of appliances combines Scale Computing’s self-healing software platform for autonomously running applications at the edge, with a small, all-flash, NVMe storage-based compute appliance that delivers all the simplicity, efficiency, and enterprise-ready virtualization associated with Scale Computing Platform.

The small form factor can be deployed without requiring a rack or server closet. While taking up only the space needed to stack four smartphones, it provides a fully functional, integrated platform for running applications that includes high availability clustering, rolling upgrades, and integrated data protection.

“Scale Computing’s first new release of the ASUS-based NUC allows IT teams to consolidate everything they need: virtualization, servers, storage, and backup/disaster recovery with powerful fleet management to deliver a single manageable solution at scale in the data center, in the branch office, and for distributed edge locations,” said Jeff Ready, CEO and Co-founder, Scale Computing. “Regardless of your hardware requirements, the same innovative software and intuitive user interface give IT admins the power to run infrastructure efficiently both in the data center and at the edge.”

The HE153 will be available in the first half of 2024, with pricing for a three-node cluster starting at $5,400. For more information on features and specifications, please visit https://www.scalecomputing.com/sc-hardware

SC//Fleet Manager VM List: Another Industry First

Simplicity is engineered into SC//Fleet Manager, making it easier than ever to securely monitor and manage workloads and infrastructure across an entire edge fleet of clusters running Scale Computing HyperCore. Instead of managing individual deployments, SC//Fleet Manager allows users to see and manage their entire fleet at once from an intuitive cloud-based console. Users can easily monitor connectivity and cluster health. Any problems across the fleet are highlighted automatically, and if there is an issue, IT administrators can drill down into a specific cluster to further diagnose and fix the problem.

The new fleet-wide virtual machines (VMs) list feature of SC//Fleet Manager makes real-time monitoring of all workloads across a global fleet of Scale Computing HyperCore clusters easier with a searchable and customizable view. With the ability to jump straight to the console of the VM using Secure Link technology, customers and MSPs who need to monitor and manage workloads running on multiple clusters now have immediate access to workloads no matter where they sit. With high availability and data resiliency guaranteed by SC//HyperCore, customers and MSPs can focus on ensuring workloads are running smoothly and as required, whether it be across ten or ten thousand sites. This new feature is available today to current and future SC//Fleet Manager customers.

Scale Computing Platform (SC//Platform) brings simplicity, high availability, and scalability together, replacing the existing infrastructure for running VMs in a single, easy-to-manage platform. SC//Fleet Manager allows users to centrally monitor and manage hundreds or thousands of distributed edge infrastructure deployments with few or no on-site IT personnel. The award-winning SC//HyperCore software delivers on-premises edge computing with high availability and disaster recovery to remote locations at an affordable entry-level cost. All SC//Hardware can be deployed quickly, managed locally or remotely, and can self-heal almost instantly. Scale Computing provides the benefits of affordable edge computing infrastructure without sacrificing reliability, ease of deployment, and ease of use.

INDIANAPOLIS – November 8 2023 — Scale Computing, a market leader in edge computing, virtualization, and hyperconverged solutions, today announced that the company has been recognized with three TrustRadius Best of Awards in the Hyper-Converged Infrastructure category. Scale Computing received awards for Best Feature Set, Best Relationship, and Best Value for Price.

TrustRadius is a leading independent research and review platform that provides comprehensive, vetted product information and customer-generated reviews, recognizing top technology solutions based on user feedback. To win a Best of Award, nominees must have received at least ten reviews between January and September 2023, ensuring an accurate gauge of recent customer sentiment. The awards honor the few companies that have gone above and beyond in user satisfaction based on key insight statistics related to value, feature set, and customer relationships. To win, vendors must be ranked in the top three per award type in their technology category.

Scale Computing, whose solutions enable IT managers to run applications and process data outside centralized data centers, at the edge of a network closest to where that data is created and utilized, was named the first-place winner in all three Best of Award categories. Earlier this year, the company announced it also earned multiple TrustRadius Top Rated Awards in the categories of Hyperconverged Infrastructure, Server Virtualization, and Edge Computing.

“We are truly honored that Scale Computing is yet again the recipient of the TrustRadius Best of Awards for value, feature set, and customer relationships,” said Jeff Ready, CEO and co-founder, Scale Computing. “We are dedicated to delivering leading IT infrastructure and edge computing solutions that not only meet but exceed the expectations of our customers. The TrustRadius awards are especially meaningful because the recognition has to be earned through genuine positive feedback from users. These awards fuel our passion to continue innovating and providing unparalleled value and service to our partners and customers.”

A TrustRadius review of Scale Computing summarizes a common sentiment: “Scale Computing is our number one recommended hypervisor platform and becomes the backbone of our clients’ IT infrastructure. When selecting Scale Computing for clients we look at overall cost savings, ease of use and scalability. We implement Scale Computing for clients that have as little as 5 users to clients that have over 8000 users! With the ease of use it takes the burden off of the IT department for both the hypervisor and backups. Our clients can sleep better at night and can ‘Set it and forget it.’”

The TrustRadius Best of Awards help customers cut through the sea of products and allow the best to shine through. “Scale Computing Platform has achieved a remarkable feat, securing first place in all three awards in the Hyper-Converged Infrastructure category,” declared Megan Headley, VP of research at TrustRadius. “Scale Computing Platform’s recognition is entirely based on customer feedback. Customers emphasize their satisfaction with the feature set, confirm that the product lives up to sales and marketing promises, and provides outstanding value for the price.”
