We act as a dedicated Scale Computing dealer to provide you with a streamlined, "data center in a box" solution that replaces aging servers and expensive storage arrays.
Whether you are looking to migrate away from VMware or simply need a more reliable platform, our team serves as your strategic Scale Computing reseller, managing everything from procurement to implementation. Contact us today to speak to a Scale Computing partner consultant.
The traditional way of building a server room (connecting servers to switches to massive storage arrays) is a relic. It forces you to manage three different vendors, pay for three different support contracts, and constantly worry that a firmware update on one device will break the fragile links to the others.
We replace that entire rack of equipment with a simple, compact cluster that manages itself. You get the power of a full data center without the spaghetti cabling or the need for a dedicated team just to keep the lights on.
Think about how the smartphone replaced the camera, the GPS, and the MP3 player by combining them into one efficient device. As your dedicated Scale Computing reseller, we use this technology to do the same for your IT infrastructure. It collapses the computing, storage, and networking layers into a single appliance.
This means you stop troubleshooting connections between different boxes and start focusing on the applications that actually run your business.
Many competitors rely on a resource-heavy virtual storage appliance that eats up huge amounts of RAM and processing power just to function. It is like buying a Ferrari but only being allowed to drive it in first gear. Scale uses a lean architecture that embeds storage intelligence directly into the operating system layer.
The result? Your applications get access to more resources, and you stop paying for extra hardware just to run the software that manages your hardware.
If you are relying on traditional virtualization software, you are likely feeling the pressure of recent industry shifts. The acquisition of VMware has led to bundled subscriptions and price hikes that are impacting businesses of every size.
Many leaders are seeing their renewal quotes double or even triple, forcing them to pay significantly more just to keep their existing systems running. XFER Communications offers you a financial escape hatch.
The Scale Computing platform includes the virtualization layer (the engine that runs your virtual machines) at no additional cost. It is built on a robust architecture that performs the same function as VMware but without the expensive annual contract.
By migrating to this platform, you permanently remove a massive line item from your IT budget. This allows you to reclaim capital that was previously lost to software rent and invest it back into growing your business.
Uncertainty is the enemy of strategic planning. With traditional vendors shifting licensing models overnight, it is impossible to forecast your IT expenditure accurately for the next three years. As your Scale Computing Partner, we provide a solution with a stable, predictable cost structure.
You pay for the appliance, and you own the capability. There are no hidden feature tiers or sudden renewal spikes, giving you the financial stability you need to plan for the future with confidence.
Downtime is expensive. Gartner estimates that for many businesses, the cost of being offline can average $5,600 per minute. You cannot afford to have your operations grind to a halt because a hard drive failed or a server node went offline.
We act as your Scale Computing dealer to deploy a system built with autonomous logic that acts like a 24/7 digital engineer inside your server rack.
This platform operates using state machine logic. It constantly monitors thousands of data points across the cluster every second. If a drive fails or a component acts up, the system detects the issue instantly and automatically moves your data to a healthy node to maintain redundancy.
It does this without human intervention and often without you even noticing a blip in performance. It essentially heals itself, keeping your Livonia, MI business running while XFER Communications schedules a routine part replacement in the background.
Cyberattacks are a question of when, not if. Traditional backups can take hours to restore, leaving you vulnerable in the meantime. Scale Computing features native, immutable snapshot technology. We can configure the system to take a snapshot of your entire environment as often as every 15 minutes.
If a user accidentally clicks a malicious link and ransomware locks their files, we simply "rewind" the system to the snapshot taken just minutes before the infection. You are back online almost instantly with minimal data loss, turning a potential business-ending catastrophe into a minor inconvenience.
If your business operates across multiple locations, such as retail stores or branch offices, you know the logistical nightmare of managing distributed hardware. Typically, if a server fails at a remote site, you are forced to send a technician from Livonia, MI in a truck to fix it.
As an experienced Scale Computing reseller, we utilize edge appliances to change this dynamic. These units are small enough to fit on a coffee table but powerful enough to run critical local operations without a dedicated server room.
You gain the ability to oversee your entire infrastructure from a single web browser through the SC//Fleet Manager tool. Whether you have five locations or five hundred, XFER Communications empowers you to monitor health, push firmware updates, and troubleshoot issues right from your central office.
This centralized control allows you to deploy robust computing power to the edge of your network without hiring local IT staff at every site, ensuring consistent performance across your entire organization while drastically reducing your travel and support costs.
Buying hardware is the easy part—migrating your critical databases without losing a single file is where the real risk lies. We do not just ship you a box and send you a link to a manual. As your local Scale Computing dealer in Livonia, MI, we manage the entire transition from your legacy architecture to your new platform, ensuring your data moves securely and your business keeps running.
XFER Communications physically racks the nodes, configures the networking, and uses specialized migration tools to move your existing Windows or Linux workloads to the new platform. You get the benefit of a complete infrastructure transformation without the risk of doing it alone.
We handle the architecture and the cutover, so you never have to worry about compatibility issues or extended downtime.
Moving to this platform is a strategic financial decision, not just a technical one. Industry data indicates that businesses can achieve total cost of ownership savings of up to 40% compared to traditional infrastructure. We act as the bridge to those savings, ensuring your deployment is configured correctly from day one to maximize efficiency and eliminate waste.
It comes down to a simple choice. You can keep paying rising licensing fees for a complex system that requires constant attention, or you can switch to a platform that essentially manages itself. You get the simplicity of a single appliance, the financial freedom of zero virtualization fees, and the security of a self-healing system.
XFER Communications is here to build that bridge. As your dedicated Scale Computing partner in Livonia, MI, we ensure you stop paying for complexity you do not need. Let us show you how Scale Computing can transform your IT operations.
Our cybersecurity risk assessment will reveal hidden problems, security vulnerabilities, and other issues lurking on your network.
