This 44 minute video touches on the following topics:
  1. Validating the vision for the company and its market.
  2. Scale HC3 uses KVM rather than the VMware hypervisor. How will the market react?
  3. “Sub-Standard” VMware deployments and how cost limits the accessibility of VMware.
  4. Using VDI on HC3.
  5. How supportable is Scale HC3 in a production environment?
  6. Considering software-defined infrastructure. Does Scale count?
  7. Long-term goals of HC3 – implementing a platform and integrating networking.
  8. Using Scale HC3 at larger businesses – remote offices, vertical applications, and more.
  9. Is Scale going up against VMware?
  10. Considering Scale HC3 as a private infrastructure cloud.
