INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Scale
Computing, a market leader in edge computing, virtualization and
hyperconverged solutions, today announced Risas Dental and Braces,
a national dental and orthodontics chain, has implemented Scale
Computing HC3 to power its edge computing infrastructure.
Post-implementation, Risas Dental and Braces has reported major
improvements in performance, backup, cost savings and time spent on
managing its distributed enterprise IT infrastructure and zero
downtime for its 25 national dental and orthodontic store
locations.
Founded eight years ago in a medically underserved community,
Risas Dental and Braces has retained a strong focus on placing the
patient first with high-quality and affordable services. For all of
its office locations in the United
States, Risas Dental and Braces was in need of an IT
infrastructure solution that met both its budget and business
needs. On its priority list was an IT infrastructure that is
high-performing, self-healing, simple to manage and able to scale
for future demands.
Before choosing Scale Computing, Risas Dental and Braces was
using a legacy virtualization system for its distributed enterprise
IT infrastructure, which was found to be costly, inconsistent and
difficult to manage. Risas Dental and Braces needed a solution that
can be clustered for high availability and managed remotely with
ease for its national locations at the edge of the network. Risas
Dental and Braces turned to Scale Computing for enterprise-class
features that could be deployed quickly, be managed locally and
remotely, and provide self-healing technology.
"With a small IT staff of six to manage our 25 locations, we
needed a distributed enterprise IT infrastructure solution to meet
the growing workload demands of our department, while still being
simple to manage," explained Chris
Lawrence, chief information officer and chief information
security officer at Risas Dental and Braces. "We were impressed by
the simplicity, autonomy and high-performance of Scale Computing
HC3. With Scale Computing, our organization's overall performance
has increased with zero downtime, which has enabled our IT team to
focus on more strategic business activities."
After implementing Scale Computing HC3, Risas Dental and Braces
has saved 15-20% of its time managing the distributed enterprise IT
infrastructure, experienced zero downtime, and reported major
improvements to its overall performance, allowing for its IT team's
focus to be switched to business data and analytics. As part of its
backup strategy, Risas Dental and Braces turned to the Scale
Computing Data Protection Suite, relying on Scale Computing HC3 to
provide the solution for failover between its multi-location
model.
"High-performance, simplicity and availability are highly
important features for any organization, especially a business like
Risas Dental and Braces, that puts the needs of its customers first
within its 25 dental and orthodontics locations nationally,"
commented Jeff Ready, CEO and
co-founder, Scale Computing. "With Scale Computing, Risas Dental
and Braces now has an all-in-one simple, reliable and affordable
edge computing solution that has enabled a decrease in time spent
managing IT infrastructure."
With Scale Computing HC3, virtualization, edge computing,
servers, storage and backup/disaster recovery have been brought
into a single, easy-to-use platform. All of the components are
built in, including the hypervisor, without the need for any
third-party components or licensing. Scale Computing HC3 includes
rapid deployment, automated management capabilities, and a
single-pane-of-management, helping to streamline and simplify daily
tasks, saving time and money.
