The rise of Industry 4.0 drives unique demands. Building smart factories means being smart about what technologies to deploy in the cloud, the data center, and on the manufacturing floor (at the edge). Any downtime, especially unplanned, can become extremely costly. Running a highly available and secure IT infrastructure is an absolute must - but this can be a complex endeavor, especially when there is little to no IT knowledge. Therefore, edge computing systems need to be easy to implement, update and maintain, and all at a low TCO.
The time spent managing a system may be a solution's single, most overlooked cost. How many hours a day do your IT professional spend just to keep your infrastructure running, and on routine tasks like monitoring performance and doing updates? With SC//Platform, management time is kept to a minimum, which keeps your ongoing costs lower than any other solution.
Scale Computing envisioned ‘hyperconvergence’ with the goal of simplifying daily IT tasks and reducing costs. Complex IT infrastructures requiring high levels of expertise can now be replaced with streamlined SC//Platform.
The IT needs of organizations evolve over time. While scaling traditional architectures can be complex, SC//Platform allows you to scale out seamlessly, without taking any VMs offline. Choose from low compute/high storage, higher-end hybrid storage, or high compute/solid state nodes. Gain flexibility not offered by traditional solutions, while aligning your business needs.
Manage less with a system designed to run your critical applications more easily.
Keep your critical apps and data always on and available.
Infrastructure that fits where you need it, and grows with you when you need it.
IT leadership saw the opportunity to create a more strategic and cost effective IT infrastructure as they went about making up their technology debt at their global manufacturing facilities.
