HCI Solutions for Higher Ed, PK-12 and other Educational Organizations

Enhance learning experiences in the classroom, the campus, and beyond with Scale Computing Platform.

As educational institutions face the growing demands of modern learning, SC//Platform delivers agile, always-on IT across a variety of environments. Using cutting-edge technologies, the award-winning solution uses self-healing and automation to maximize application uptime and performance, simplify management, and protect data. Simply put: your two biggest costs in IT are downtime and people and SC//Platform addresses both.

The Power to Support Today’s Modern Learning Environment

Lower Cost of Ownership

Self-healing technology allows systems to run autonomously, even in remote, unmanned edge computing environments. The two biggest costs in IT are downtime and people, and these are closely related. How many hours a day do your IT professionals spend just to keep your infrastructure running, and on routine tasks, like monitoring performance and doing updates? With SC//Platform, automation keeps management time to a minimum, which keeps your ongoing costs lower than any other infrastructure solution.

How SC//Platform Lowers TCO
Maximum Uptime

Educational institutions require powerful systems that can run workloads with efficiency and speed. SC//Platform allows you to manage workloads of any size, while leaving more resources available for learning. Server and storage are combined to provide one platform for your applications, with backup, disaster recovery, and failover built in and managed automatically.

Disaster Recovery Solutions
Easy to Use, Hard to Believe

Implementing new IT infrastructure doesn’t have to be stressful. SC//Platform reduces costs, keeps applications running, and frees up time and resources for the projects that will advance your environment. See what modern infrastructure can do for you by scheduling a live demo of today.

Made for the IT Infrastructure Demands of Education

Simplicity

Manage less with a system designed to run your critical applications more easily.

Automation replaces complexity in the infrastructure making SC//Platform far easier to deploy and manage. The integration of storage, servers, hypervisor, and machine intelligence automates management tasks, saving you time and money. From unmanned edge computing deployments to the data center, spend less time managing and maintaining infrastructure and more time on projects that make your organization better.

  • Deploys in less than an hour
  • Deploy new applications in seconds
  • Single pane, web-based management
  • Cloud-based management of remote sites and workloads
  • Automated storage management
  • No-downtime system updates for hardware and software
  • Single vendor support experience

High Availability

Keep your critical apps and data always on and available.

In today’s 24/7/365 world, IT systems can’t afford downtime. SC//Platform was designed to be highly available, no matter what happens. Even if a hardware component fails, or an appliance breaks down, an Scale Computing cluster can keep your systems running with little or no downtime. Keep your applications available with a system that won’t let you down.

  • Redundant critical hardware components
  • Automatic failover of applications from a failed appliance
  • Automatic data restriping for failed disks
  • Highly available VMs/applications
  • Intelligent self-healing automation
  • Integrated Disaster Recovery, backup, Replication and failover to remote systems

Scalability

Infrastructure that fits where you need it, and grows with you when you need it.

Traditionally, infrastructure scale-out has been so challenging that organizations planned and purchased infrastructure to accommodate growth up to five years in advance. With SC//Platform, you buy only what you need and then scale-out seamlessly when you need it, from the edge to the data center and beyond.

  • Scale-out without downtime
  • Seamless scale-out with automated storage configuration
  • Mix and match hardware appliances
  • Deployments as small as a single server through large clusters.
  • Deployable on hardware designed for the edge, including very small, lightweight systems.
  • Scale-out for higher VM performance

“Scale Computing Platform does everything that I need it to. It simplifies my network infrastructure so that I can be an expert. I was a desktop support guy who’s now a system admin. Scale makes me look like a pro. As far as my users know, I’m a genius.”
