Scale Computing offers multiple software licensing options to suit a variety of use cases. All license types get the same versions of the SC//HyperCore™ HyperVisor and the same system updates. Licensing controls which features are available, not which updates you can get. For licensing questions, contact your Scale Computing Sales Representative or salesteam@scalecomputing.com.
Every tier includes the same operational baseline: distributed storage with high availability, virtualization and VM management, manual snapshots and cloning, live virtual drive expansion, UEFI VM support, RBAC, single sign-on, and automated storage tiering. Sizing and the remaining features vary by tier, as shown below.
