description Scale Computing HyperCore (HC3) Overview

Scale Computing HC3 is a virtual machine that delivers persistent storage and compute resources simultaneously, utilizing a shared memory architecture to enable near-instantaneous application migration and data access without traditional I/O bottlenecks.

help Scale Computing HyperCore (HC3) FAQ

What exactly is Scale Computing HyperCore HC3?

HC3 is Scale Computing's hyperconverged infrastructure platform, combining virtualization, compute, memory, and storage in a single managed system. It is designed to run virtual machines locally at branch offices, small data centers, and other sites that may not have dedicated storage teams.

How does HC3 handle virtual-machine migration?

HC3 supports cluster-wide live migration, allowing a running virtual machine to move between Scale Computing nodes while workloads remain available. The platform combines compute and storage resources across the cluster, so administrators do not need a separate SAN for ordinary VM mobility.

Can HC3 replace a VMware or Hyper-V environment?

Scale Computing markets HC3 as an alternative to traditional VMware and Hyper-V deployments, with its own built-in HyperCore virtualization layer. Migration is not automatic, however, so existing VMware, Hyper-V, or physical workloads normally need a planned conversion using tools such as SC//Migrate.

Is HC3 useful for remote or branch-office IT?

Yes, HC3 is specifically designed for distributed environments where local infrastructure must keep running without constant cloud or data-center intervention. Scale Computing describes HC3 Edge as an autonomous platform with automated updates and VM migration across cluster nodes.
