Scale Computing Hardware is built to simplify infrastructure from core to edge. With systems designed for quick deployment, straightforward operation, and minimal maintenance, our hardware helps IT teams reduce day-to-day overhead while supporting performance, resilience, and long-term cost efficiency.
SC//Reliant Manager is hardware-agnostic. It runs on commodity x86 servers—no proprietary Scale Computing hardware is required.
The host provides compute and storage resources that it manages as a virtualization platform; SC//Reliant Manager itself handles VM lifecycle, networking, and storage replication in software.
Hardware Requirement
Commodity x86-64 server or workstation. No vendor-specific hardware required.
Minimum Configuration
1 Physical host (single-node deployment). Multi-host deployments supported for redundancy.
Virtualization Layer
KVM/QEMU. VMs run as QCOW2 disk images.
Storage Replication
Distributed Replicated Block device (DRBD). No SAN or NAS required.
Network
Shared Ethernet NICs. Interface count and topology determined by deployment design (flat LAN, VLAN, bonded uplinks).
