In August 2012, Scale Computing launched its HC3 scale-out converged storage system. The HC3 combines compute, storage server virtualization and networking into ready-to-install nodes. It uses Red Hat's KVM hypervisor and either Windows Server or Linux operating systems. The HC3 comes in three models with varying specifications: the HC1000, HC2000 and HC4000. They are available in three, four six or eight node configurations.
