Review author Trevor Pott chose Scale Computing's HC3® platform for the
award based on its success in delivering the promise of
hyperconvergence by bringing compute and storage together without
conflict. "Scale clusters just work, are relatively inexpensive, and
deal with power outages and other unfortunate scenarios quite well," he
writes.

Scale Computing's award-winning HC3 platform
brings storage, servers, virtualization and management together in a
single, comprehensive system. With no virtualization software to license
and no external storage to buy, HC3 products lower out-of-pocket costs
and radically simplify the infrastructure needed to keep applications
running. HC3 products make the deployment and management of a highly
available and scalable infrastructure as easy to manage as a single
server.
"Since the company's inception, we have been fortunate to
be recognized by leading trade publications, users and professional
groups with dozens of awards honoring our commitment to making
virtualization easy and delivering the technology's benefits to an often
overlooked marketplace," said Jeff Ready, CEO and co-founder of Scale
Computing. "When all is said and done, these awards are a reflection of
the continued and selfless dedication of our entire team here at Scale.
There is not one person on our staff that has not made his or her mark
on improving the company, which in turn allows us to produce superior
results for our customers. I am thankful for the recognition we've
received throughout 2016 and look forward to an even more successful
2017."
