Scale Computing HC3 M&H Plastics

HC3 Case Study

M&H Plastics

This case study of M&H Plastics is based on an April 2018 survey of HC3 customers by TechValidate, a 3rd-party research service.

“We are still quite new to our HC3 implementation, but already we have seen the benefits of the ease and rapid deployment of systems when necessary.”

Solved the following operational challenges after deploying HC3:
- Enabled virtualization without complexity
- Reduced time spent managing Infrastructure
- Improved scalability of Infrastructure
- Improved disaster recovery
- Reduced IT operating costs
Purchased their HC3 system for the following reasons:
- For Infrastructure Refresh (replacing aging hardware)

Purchased HC3 over the following vendors:
- Hypervisor – Microsoft Hyper-V
- HP Servers / SAN
Has 4-5 IT personnel responsible for infrastructure.
Runs 10-24 Virtual Machines on HC3.

Rated the following HC3 capabilities in terms of how they differentiated from the competition:
- single vendor support: extremely differentiated
- scalability: extremely differentiated
- reliability: very differentiated
- ease of implementation: extremely differentiated
- ease of use: extremely differentiated
Sees the following as the biggest benefits of Scale Computing HC3:
- Ease and speed of implementation
- High availability of Virtual Machines
- Scalability
Decreased the time spent recovering from a hardware failure running a critical workload from 8-24 hours to less than 10 minutes (97-99% reduction in recovery time) with the high availability built into HC3.
Reduced the time their IT staff spends managing infrastructure by 50-74% after deploying HC3.
