Why Scale Computing Is the Best Choice for Hyperconverged Infrastructure in a Post-VMware World

For years, VMware was the go-to virtualization platform for small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs). But with Broadcom’s recent acquisition and strategic pivot toward the enterprise market, complete with 72-core licensing minimums and a sunset of small business, friendly bundles like Essentials; it’s clear: the VMware many small businesses relied on is no longer the same.

So where should organizations turn for a simpler, more cost-effective, and scalable infrastructure solution?

Enter Scale Computing.

Whether you’re facing renewal sticker shock or looking to modernize your environment without the headaches of traditional virtualization stacks, Scale Computing’s HC3 platform offers a compelling answer. Here’s why it’s the best hyperconverged solution for small businesses today.

Simplicity That Just Works
Scale Computing HC3 combines servers, storage, and virtualization into a single, integrated appliance. There’s no need for separate SANs, expensive hypervisors, or complicated setup.
You get:
- A clean, intuitive management interface
- Automated failover and built-in redundancy
- A system that can be managed easily—even by a single IT generalist
Cost-Effective with Predictable Pricing
Unlike VMware’s new enterprise-focused licensing, Scale Computing offers simple, all-inclusive pricing with no per-core costs or surprise renewals.
That means:
- No minimum hardware requirements like Broadcom’s 72-core licensing
- No extra fees for features like snapshots or replication
- Easy budgeting and long-term cost predictability
Optimized for Edge and Multi-Site Environments
From manufacturing floors to school districts to retail locations, many SMBs operate across multiple sites—and Scale was built with that in mind.
- Lightweight deployment with centralized management
- Works even in low-connectivity or offline environments
- Easily scales from one appliance to dozens
Reliable, Resilient, and Self-Healing
When something goes wrong, Scale doesn’t just alert you—it automatically recovers.
- Integrated high availability and disaster recovery
- Self-healing architecture to minimize downtime
- In-place, non-disruptive upgrades
A True VMware Alternative That Puts Small Businesses First
VMware’s shift to focus solely on large enterprises has left small businesses searching for alternatives. Scale Computing was built for small businesses and continues to support that segment actively.
- No bloated licensing models
- No forced migrations to enterprise plans
- Direct, responsive support from engineers—not endless call trees
Award-Winning Support and Satisfaction
Scale consistently receives high ratings for customer service and technical support. Whether you’re troubleshooting or planning an expansion, you’re never alone.
