“Scale’s easy to understand dashboard makes monitoring system performance and resources a no-brainer. In addition, creating a new VM is a snap! Our prior HP Hyper-V node / SAN was far more complicated to manage. Creating VM’s took time and caused node performance to decrease while the VM was being provisioned. We love SCALE and look forward to being a customer for many years to come!”
