Scale Computing, the market leader in hyperconverged solutions for midsized companies, today announced that its innovative HC3 appliance has been awarded ‘hyperconverged solution of the year’, at the 2017 SVC Awards. Built with simplicity in mind, the HC3 appliance integrates storage, servers and virtualisation software into one easy-to-use solution, providing a complete data centre in a box.

The annual SVC Awards recently took place in London to celebrate and reward this year’s leading companies in storage, cloud and digitalisation. The awards recognise end user, channel, technology and innovation success. With thousands of public votes cast and the IT industry’s leading executives in attendance, the ceremony highlights the achievements and excellence of organisations leading the way in the technology sector.

Scale Computing’s HC3 appliance provides availability, scalability and affordability. It is self-healing and as easy to manage as a single server. Using industry standard components, the HC3 appliance can be installed in under an hour and expanded and upgraded with no downtime. In addition, with no external virtualisation software to licence the appliance lowers out of pocket expenses.

“Scale Computing is committed to delivering a leading hyperconverged solution that is built and designed to meet our customers’ needs, commented Johan Pellicaan, Managing Director and VP EMEA at Scale Computing. “We are honoured to have been awarded hyperconverged solution of the year, and this reinforces our continued efforts in the industry.
