SC//HyperCore introduces enhanced node lifecycle management, simplifying and streamlining the user experience.

Scale Computing announced strategic updates to Scale Computing HyperCore (SC//HyperCore), the company’s award-winning software virtualization platform. From edge sites with no IT staff to core data centers running mission-critical workloads, SC//HyperCore delivers the power of enterprise virtualization while significantly reducing complexity and cost.

Purpose-built for simplicity, speed, and resilience, SC//HyperCore is a lightweight, all-in-one solution that deploys in minutes, runs anywhere, and keeps applications online automatically. The self-healing technology automatically corrects issues, keeps systems up-to-date, and repairs failures as part of a regularly scheduled maintenance cycle, preventing IT crises from occurring. The overall efficiency of SC//HyperCore allows the use of much smaller platforms, while still reserving resources to run user workloads, providing significant savings when multiplied across hundreds or thousands of edge sites.

SC//HyperCore is:

Simple: The lightweight solution deploys in minutes with intuitive tools and zero configuration overhead, simplifying daily management with built-in automation and a clean, web-based interface designed for IT generalists, not specialists.

Efficient: SC//HyperCore reduces cost and complexity by eliminating separate vendors for hypervisors, storage, and backup. Lightweight, unified architecture delivers high availability and integrated disaster recovery right out of the box.

Future-Proof: The updated software platform supports legacy applications, modern workloads, and edge AI on the same infrastructure, and adapts and scales as environments grow. Lightweight, resilient architecture supports AI deployments across environments, without requiring onsite staff, so organizations can deploy and run AI/ML workloads where data is generated to enable real‑time decision‑making and faster insights.

New SC//HyperCore features include:

Enhanced Node Lifecycle Management: Scale Computing has simplified and streamlined the user experience to add new nodes, replace aging hardware, or delete a node, all without interrupting workloads. As needs evolve, IT teams can scale on demand, modernize an environment, and even shrink clusters with complete workload continuity.

Agentless Backup: Veeam Backup & Replication, with agentless hypervisor backup support for SC//HyperCore, provides customers and partners simplified, secure, and scalable IT infrastructure, from the data center to the edge. With native integration into Veeam Data Platform, organizations can take full advantage of Veeam’s powerful data resilience, ransomware recovery, and workload mobility, ensuring business continuity across any environment.

Usability Enhancements: SC//HyperCore introduces a set of usability improvements designed to streamline administration and reduce operational friction. Admins can now paste text directly into a VM console, ideal for transferring scripts, license keys, and configurations without relying on external media or custom workarounds. Additional enhancements include support for VM discard (automated space reclamation), replication deletion (removing outdated or unnecessary jobs), and local-only snapshots (capturing VM states without replication overhead).

Improved REST APIs: SC//HyperCore now has overhauled REST APIs, to support more operations, with versioning and a changelog to make it easier for developers to adopt new functionality confidently. It also maintains backward compatibility, so current API consumers will not face disruptions. Whether integrating with orchestration tools or building custom workflows, the API framework supports rapid innovation across the stack.

Terraform Provider: Teams can manage the full VM lifecycle as code—create, resize, power on/off, delete—all through repeatable scripts. With support for automated network and storage configuration, orchestrated snapshots, and replication management, SC//HyperCore integrates naturally into Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices.
