Scale Computing: Revolutionizing IT Infrastructure for Education

In an era where educational institutions increasingly seek efficient and cost-effective technologies, Scale Computing stands out as a leader in edge computing, virtualization, and hyperconverged solutions. With innovations designed to optimize IT environments, Scale Computing is rapidly becoming the go-to solution for schools looking to navigate the complexities of modern academic demands.

The recent decision by Broadcom to eliminate VMware's academic licensing discount has heightened the need for alternatives more than ever. For many institutions, this shift represents a significant financial burden. As administrators grapple with rising costs often associated with traditional solutions, Scale Computing addresses these concerns head-on, providing a platform that not only sidesteps the costly licensing fees but also enhances operational performance.

The SC//Platform Advantage

The Scale Computing Platform (SC//Platform) boasts a self-healing infrastructure that automates routine processes, enhances uptime, and simplifies management across applications. This solution is specifically tailored for educational environments where 24/7 accessibility and robust reliability are paramount. Jeff Ready, CEO and co-founder of Scale Computing, emphasizes the importance of this technology as educational leaders increasingly invest in innovative technologies. "As institutions shift their focus to maintain or even enhance their IT infrastructures, they need a solution that is both affordable and high-performance. SC//Platform meets this demand by eliminating downtime and providing a streamlined experience for IT staff who must juggle numerous strategic projects."

Success Stories

The practicality and efficiency of Scale Computing's solutions are evident in its collaborative efforts with various educational institutions:

• - American College of Education (ACE) opted for SC//Platform to reduce its virtualization costs. Previously limited by a cloud-based managed services platform, ACE sought a more reliable system capable of meeting the needs of its national and international students around the clock. The partnership with Scale Computing has ensured ACE can efficiently manage its IT operations while enjoying a lower total cost of ownership.
• - Willard Public Schools in Missouri adopted Scale Computing in 2011, enhancing its IT infrastructure to ensure maximum availability and reliability. The transition to a hyperconverged solution empowered its IT team to prioritize strategic initiatives rather than merely keeping systems operational.
• - At Auburn University, the autonomous structure allows each college to manage budgets as needed. SC//Platform unifies storage, server management, and virtualization into one cohesive system, drastically reducing overhead while simplifying needed infrastructures.
