Scale Radically Changes Price Performance with Fully Automated Flash Tiering

This is the post that I made about ours: http://mangolassi.it/topic/8983/new-scale-hc3-tiered-cluster-up-in-the-lab

@Breffni-Potter SSD, not SSH (good catch). The product is designed for the IT generalist of small to mid-size businesses who doesn't have the time to specialize in every aspect of the infrastructure necessary to stand up a traditional virtualization environment. You can go from unboxing to spinning up new VMs in < 1 hr. Very "click click and go" as you guessed.

I'm intrigued. How much of a presence does Scale have in the UK? Anyone based over here or any decent re-sellers? (not box shift distributors)
Is there a place I can go to see one
-
@Breffni-Potter We have a UK office with a number of local resellers (who actually provide value beyond pushing boxes
). I have reached out to some of our local Systems Engineers to jump into the thread to make an introduction. They should be able to coordinate a time/place for you to see one. In the meantime, we do offer a weekly demo as well (http://bit.ly/HC3LiveDemo). -
@craig.theriac , thanks Craig. Hi @Breffni-Potter , I'm part of the technical team in the UK. As Craig mentions, we have kit here in the UK for on-site customer POC's. We are also at a few events this month, Spiceworld - London 10-11 May and IPEXPO - 18-19 May, where we will have live kit on display. If these events don't suit we would be happy to arrange a direct meeting(onsite or webex), whichever you would prefer?

Nice! Sadly NOT the first HCI vendor to have a go to 11 option! (Although the first to put it in the GUI).

Thanks for the quick response Ian.

Oh cool. I'll try to steal some time
-
@Breffni-Potter Yes, you can look for Jason Collier, Simon Marrion or Kevin Holmes who are all three present at the show.

@scale - Suitably impressed at Spiceworld London. Jason Collier was very helpful.
Definitely on the books to consider for server installs.
