What Scale Computing Platform is
Scale Computing Platform brings virtualization, servers, storage, backup, disaster recovery, and fleet management together for edge and distributed infrastructure. Its SC//HyperCore software is a lightweight type 1 bare-metal hypervisor based on KVM components and integrated with the SCRIBE storage layer. SC//Fleet Manager centrally monitors and manages distributed clusters, including through zero-touch provisioning. The platform is designed to recover from hardware failures and incorporate additional nodes into a cluster. A REST API and Red Hat Certified Ansible Collection support automation and lifecycle management. For on-premises workloads, the platform integrates with Azure Arc, Azure Monitor, and Azure Policy. Scale describes it as suitable for distributed deployments, including sites with few or no on-site IT staff. Fleet Manager authenticates nodes with HTTPS public key infrastructure, encrypts connections, and restricts access by tenant and role. Secure Link sends cluster interface data to a browser over TLS 1.2 and closes its outbound connection when the browser session ends. The platform supports hybrid deployment, KVM, live migration, high availability, and disaster recovery. Pricing is on request; the product page directs visitors to request a demo.
