A Scale Computing Case Study
Poster Display Company, a 100-employee Indianapolis manufacturer of printed graphics, relied on an aging Windows server environment to run critical systems. After a motherboard failure on a key SQL server exposed the risk of catastrophic data loss, the company revisited virtualization options but found traditional VMware + SAN solutions too costly.
They deployed Scale Computing’s HC3 — a 3‑node, integrated “datacenter-in-a-box” that combines servers, storage and virtualization with no separate hypervisor licensing. The HC3 cluster delivered high availability, a single management dashboard, lower TCO and scalable growth (starting under $25,500 for a 3‑node cluster), stabilizing operations and providing the insurance the business needed against future failures.
