Scale Computing partnered with Google and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to develop a hybrid cloud solution that makes it easy for organizations, including channel partners and MSPS, to move application workloads freely in the cloud or on-premises.
Google Cloud Platform is an IaaS that supports Scale Computing Platform and virtual machines and applications that run on SC//HyperCore. With SC//HyperCore running both on-premises and in Google Compute Engine, IT organizations can connect the cloud with on-premises infrastructure like never before.

Extending the datacenter into the cloud to ensure business continuity has gotten a whole lot easier.
By combining the simple, scalable, and highly available infrastructure of hyperconverged private cloud with the elasticity of Google Cloud Platform, Scale Computing and Google have re-imagined hybrid cloud for backup and disaster recovery.
Using nested virtualization, Scale Computing is now able to run a fully virtualized appliance within the Google cloud.
Just like a physical node, this virtual appliance is able to act as a target for the built-in replication feature as well as run virtual machines when needed for recovery. And because it’s the same SC//HyperCore software, it is managed using the same automation and management features of SC//Platform on-prem.
As a service, on-prem virtual machines are replicated to the cloud over a secure network connection. Using a passive instance on Google Cloud Platform, VMs are kept in a passive, low resource state until needed for failover. When a disaster is declared, the instance is expanded with more compute resources and VMs are failed over.
The built-in Layer 2 (L2) network tunnel allows users to easily reconnect across the same LAN connections to the VMs now running in the cloud. When on-prem assets are brought back online, replication and recovery to the on-prem infrastructure are virtually seamless.
Virtual computing instances can be designed and configured with resources to meet specific needs for performance or storage which would otherwise be impossible to achieve with commodity hardware.
Extend the functionality of SC//Platform Cloud Unity with an end-to-end disaster recovery and workload protection platform.
On-prem SC//Platform virtual machines are replicated to the cloud over a secure network connection.
“The impact on operations is significant. This takes the concept of cloud-based disaster recovery to a whole new level, because those cloud resources are part of the local LAN. This means the networking nightmare that is typically present in DR is gone, and an application which fails over to the cloud resource will retain the same IP address that it had before — and all the other systems, users, and applications will continue to communicate with the “failed” resource as though it never moved.”
SC//Platform Cloud Unity puts the resources on Google’s cloud onto your local LAN. It becomes a component in your infrastructure, which your applications can communicate with, as if it were any local system.
