Case Study: Presbyterian Mo-Ranch Assembly achieves reliable, simplified IT and built-in disaster recovery with Scale Computing HC3

Presbyterian Mo-Ranch Assembly - Customer Case Study

Presbyterian Mo-Ranch Assembly is a 500-acre nonprofit retreat center in Hunt, TX serving conferences, camps, weddings and other events. With 75–120 seasonal staff but a single full-time IT manager, the organization ran critical reservation, accounting and hospitality systems on aging servers, consumer hardware and a lone T‑1 line, leaving it vulnerable to downtime and without a viable disaster recovery plan.

Mo‑Ranch deployed a three-node HC2000 hyperconverged cluster to virtualize its <10 VMs and consolidate storage, compute and management; built‑in snapshots, continuous VM replication and remote DR delivered high availability and simplified operations. The change eliminated frequent outages, made it fast and easy to spin up and test servers, allowed necessary application upgrades, and — per the IT manager — will pay for itself in about three years with substantial savings by year five.
