The Hyperconverged Tipping Point with Scale Computing
Scale Computing works within the HCI space, but instead of just refining how converged their solution is, they’re also rethinking the infrastructure as a whole. They designed their solution from the ground up to be an implementation of virtualization how you would want it to be, not just an extension of the current status quo.
Homelab Kubernetes Setup
I don’t know about you, but I don’t have a hyperscale data center that I can just play around with. Well, I guess technically if I had unlimited funding, AWS kind of fits that description. Okay, let me revise, I don’t have a hyperscale data center that I’m willing to pay to play around with indefinitely.
Scale Computing is launching a DRaaS offering
Andrea Mauro of vInfrastructure Blog comments: Scale Computing, an alternative hyperconverged solution, has launched its ScaleCare Remote Recovery Service, a Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) offering that provides offsite protection for businesses at a price that fits the size and budget of their datacenter needs. Building on the resiliency and high availability of the […]
Hyperconverged like you just don’t care
Alastair Cook of Demitasse writes: Living in a small city, in a small country, I see a lot of small businesses. These customers will never have a virtualisation specialist on their staff, they barely have an IT specialist. These same customers find that their IT needs have grown beyond a single Windows server and some desktops. Some sort of […]
Low Cost KVM Based Hyperconverged solution for SMB
Vladan Seget of ESX Virtualization writes: Low cost does not mean low quality but rather better bang for your bucks. I think One of the reasons that SMBs usually don’t go hyper-converged or webscale is the price. Solutions from vendors like Nutanix are usually not cost friendly because pay not only for hardware, but also for the proprietary […]
Scale Computing Adds Disaster Recovery for SMB
Marco Broeken of vClouds writes: Scale Computing latest HC6 release features built-in Remote Disaster Recovery to allow users to set up continuous replication on a VM by VM basis between two HC3 clusters with space-efficient snapshot technology replicating to a secondary site, tracking only the blocks unique to each manual or automatic snapshot and sending the changed blocks. Testing […]
Hyper convergence for the rest of us? Scale Computing
Enrico Signoretti of Juku writes: This is not the first time I write about Scale Computing but I met them again a couple of weeks ago (at #SFD5) and I think there are some updates about their technology and products that are worthwhile mentioning. Scale computing has been around since 2009. At the beginning it […]
Nutanix and Scale: Two ends of the hyper-converged market
Keith Townsend of Virtualized Geek comments: The hyper-converged infrastructure has two completely different ends of the spectrum when it comes to potential end-users. An example of two different systems positioned at different markets is a comparison between Nutanix and Scale Computing. Nutanix has a lion’s share of the mind share for the hyper-converged market. For […]
You Startups Challenge My Basic Knowledge
Hans de Leenheer comments on his blog: Today I got inspired by J.Metz’s article The Napkin Dialogues: “Open”-ing up to SDN where he admits being caught in speed by new technologies. Sometimes you need to go back to the napkin design to get a grip on it. These are the things I have tried to […]
