Today Scale Computing announced a new release of its Ultra-Easy HyperCore Software. This new release expands the capabilities of Scale's HC3 family providing greater scalability and more storage computing power.

HyperCore Software system integrates storage, servers, and virtualization software into an all-in-one appliance based system that is scalable, self-healing and as easy to manage as a single server. The system monitors all VMs, software, and hardware to detect and automatically respond to infrastructure events, while maintaining application availability, and simplifying datacenter management.

The new release features include:

• Non-disruptive/Rolling updates for HC3 clusters with no downtime or maintenance. Workloads are automatically migrated across the appliance during node upgrades. The workload is transfer back after the node upgrades and reboots.
• Near instant VM-level snapshots that, due to Allocate-on-Write technology, doesn't disrupt, duplicate data, or cause performance degradation even with thousands of snapshots per VM.
• VM "Thin" cloning enabling users to take a space efficient Thin clone that is immediately bootable with no duplication.
• Users can export VMs to an external server for a full backup/archive with a single click. And users can import and fully recreate a VM from a remote server.
• HyperCore supports the new HC3 nodes with twice the VM density by doubling the I/O performance, CPU, and memory resources per node. This gives Mid-to-large size companies a data center solution that helps them simply and cost-effectively scale their infrastructure as they grow.

Availability and pricing

HC3 models 1000, 2000, and 4000 are available now. The three-node system starts at $25,499 and $8,499 per additional node.
