CASE STUDY
virtualisation into one complete easy-to-use
solution. With added snapshots, replication
and cloning technologies integrated, we
have a full set of backup and business
continuity capabilities. In addition, the
solution offers increased stability, which
means we have less in the way of server-side
support issues to manage.
Scale Computing also provides the flexibility
to add capacity on-demand, eliminating
the need to over-provision storage. Having
the ability to simply scale as and when
needed is a great resource. We can’t budget
for unknown growth and capacity and it’s
reassuring to know Scale Computing will be
able to meet our future requirements.

HYPERCONVERGENCE SOLUTION OFFERS

SUPPORT ISSUES TO DEAL WITH.
through deploying Scale Computing’s
hyperconverged solution.
Hyperconverged was ideal for us as we
wanted one appliance that could support our
numerous requests. With over 200 parishes,
200 schools, hundreds of clergy members
and numerous societies and departments, we
needed the flexible solution that could support
multiple office needs. Hyperconverged is
suited for organisations that operate in this
environment, similar to branch offices and
remote offices. In addition, hyperconverged
is designed to eliminate the complexity
of modern data centres, simplifying the
challenges around virtualisation.
Hyperconverged also improves processing,
so it’s likely that after three years the
system will still perform favourably when
compared with new technology. Other
systems need replacing after three years
but this hyperconverged solution enables
long-term sustainability. n
THE APPLIANCE IS SCALABLE, SELF-
HEALING AND PROVIDES THE SIMPLIFIED
MANAGEMENT THE IT TEAM NEEDS IN
ORDER TO BEST UTILISE RESOURCES.
