CASE STUDY
Waddy said he has experienced one hardware failure but he received an automated notification that a hard drive was being sent to replace it .
He said : “ I was very happy with the response – there has been no downtime and virtually no tech time to replace the hard drive .”
OUR SERVER RESTORES ARE QUICK , LASTING ONLY AROUND 15 MINUTES .
" The training and support during the migration was comprehensive and I ' ve had zero issues with the system in the six months I ' ve had it in place .
“ Scale Computing HC3 is a single pane of glass that ' s easy to manage and it has saved us so much time on projects .”
Finding an Edge Computing solution with Scale Computing
Since its implementation of Scale Computing HC3 , Goodwill Central Coast has upgraded its point of sale system , increased drive space , saved resources and saved 15 % on the initial IT budget .
With Scale Computing HC3 , Goodwill Central Coast now has a modern IT infrastructure that is high-performing , reliable and efficient .
Goodwill Central Coast ' s staff needed to solve the challenge of managing a server system efficiently and remotely for all 18 stores dispersed across the wide region .
" The main challenge we face is our geography . We needed support and with 24 servers requiring physical reboots , we also needed a hyperconverged virtual system ," Waddy said .
" Before we chose Scale Computing , my choices were to build physical servers or spend time on the legacy system to build some servers .
“ All hyperconverged systems have the ability to migrate from physical servers to virtual , but the process Scale Computing uses is a quick proposition ."
He added : “ What I liked about the solution is that the hypervisor is a Scale proprietary hypervisor . The system itself is an on-the-
