Vision Solutions Joins Scale Computing Alliance Partner Program

Scale
Computing, Inc., developers of HC3, the hyperconverged solution built for SMBs that combines
servers, storage and virtualization into a single system, announced an alliance
with Vision Solutions, Inc., a provider
of information availability software and services.

The alliance provides Scale’s Platinum reseller partners worldwide access to Vision
Solutions’ enterprise live P2V migration technology and its CDP products.

"HC3
makes it much easier for midsize companies to deploy virtualization,"
said Ron Gabin, director of channels from Vision Solutions. "And, these HC3 customers needing to live
migrate physical servers and augment HA features can now easily
leverage the CDP solutions we provide. Working with Scale Computing, we ensure
that the move to a virtualized environment is not only a positive experience,
but a simple and painless one for midmarket businesses."

Double-Take Move‚ from Vision Solutions
allows users to migrate physical and virtual workloads with real-time
replication from a single, intuitive user console. It can migrate
an entire physical system, from simple file serves to custom application
servers and domain controllers, while they are running. This virtually
eliminates downtime from the migration process. IT managers can now migrate
during the week while users are active. HC3 customers who need to migrate old
physical machines to new HC3 systems without downtime will find Double-Take
Move useful.

Double-Take Availability‚ offers
affordable data protection provides fault tolerance and enables immediate
recovery from any system outage at the push of a button through an unified
console. Continuous replication between HC3 systems dispersed over any distance
ensures customers always have access to a current copy of their data,
applications and OS. As a best practice, deploying CDP with automatic failover
in environments using Double-Take Availability will ensure HC3 customers always
have access to data.

"HA
is a cornerstone of the HC3 feature set and we are pleased to enhance that
functionality into CDP, low downtime migrations, and remote failover through
our alliance with Vision Solutions," said Patrick Conte, EVP and GM of
WW field operations for Scale Computing. "We are currently building an ecosystem of top application providers
that our VARs and customers can trust for quality, value-added features that
are elegantly designed, simple to use and easy to purchase."

Scale Computing has transformed their
affordable scale-out storage cluster into a hyperconverged solution that
combines servers, storage, and virtualization into a product
that delivers virtualized infrastructure-as-an-appliance. With no
virtualization software to license and no external storage to buy, HC3 lowers
out of pocket costs by as much as 75% and simplifies the infrastructure needed
to keep applications running. It makes the deployment and management of an available and scalable infrastructure as easy to manage as a single
server. HC3 removes all of the complexity of managing a virtualized
environment, eases the challenges of working with multiple vendors, and enables
IT departments to actually focus their time on the applications making their
companies profitable.

For first-time virtualizers and
small IT departments, a complete 3-node HC3 cluster capable of 15 – 30 virtual workloads starts at under $25,500
and includes the necessary servers, storage and virtualization, along with 24×7
premium support.
