Scale Computing, the industry leading developers of hyperconverged
solutions that seamlessly combine servers, storage and
virtualization into a single system, today announced the addition
of the HC3x extension of its award-winning HC3 platform.
HC3 Platform
The HC3x platform combines servers, storage and virtualization
into a clustered, highly available solution analysts call
hyperconverged. Built for midsize companies from the ground up,
HC3x eliminates the need for expensive licenses and complex
systems such as VMware and SANs from virtualized environments. As a
result the deployment is radically simplified while delivering a
single, scale-out environment with built in high availability. In a
lab report, industry analyst Taneja Group reports "we measured
deployment and configuration of HC3 as 10 minutes to set up a
hardware cluster, and 2 minutes to deploy the first VMs."
“HC3
is all about utilizing our ICOS technology to radically simplify
infrastructure management. We deliver a self-healing platform that takes
the headache out of infrastructure management,” said Jason
Collier, the company’s CTO. “With the new HC3x platform, we’re
able to extend the Scale HC3 experience into even the most
demanding environments.”
HC3x
HC3x,
an extension of the HC3 platform, is a powerful system with twice
the memory per node, 50% more compute cores and fast SAS drive
technology. It allows for roughly double the VMs per node over the
existing HC3 line and is targeted at customers with 50-200 VMs in their
environment, who are looking to realize the benefits and
efficiencies of private cloud. It includes the latest release of
ICOS 4.2, the operating system for the HC3 product lines. ICOS 4.2
adds support for VLANs and multiple virtual NICs per VM.
Affordably Priced
Starting
at under $25,500 for a three-node cluster, HC3 platform is ideal
for organizations looking to achieve the efficiencies of
virtualization but don’t want the complexities and cost of VMware. With
no virtualization software to license or manage, no external
storage to buy and a built in hypervisor, HC3 lowers TCO and
radically simplifies the infrastructure needed to keep
applications running. HC3 makes the deployment and management of a
highly available and scalable infrastructure as easy to manage as
a single server. HC3x prices start at under $37,500 for a
three-node cluster.
