KVM with Virtmanager.
Centos latest is my preferred KVM host.
And Fedora LXDE Spin is my preferred Virt-Manager choice, I use it from inside Windows using Virtualbox.

Cause it resembles the old ESXi Philosophy with Vsphere C# client
And you can do whatever you want with it, and for free. Especially when you use virt IO drivers for network and disk, you get nearly identical bare metal speeds.

But sadly its lacking other tools to allow users to connect and use the VM, you will have to do this from inside the VM like RDP and VNC.

Sadly, I've been unable to work on a Scale system recently. 😢

I really did enjoy the unboxing though. The screw drivers were a nice touch, ha ha.

I got in and for a while it said the conference was over, then it started. But no audio 😞 Phones aren't working here so can't dial in as we have that flapping router on the island so everyone gets new IPs down here every ten seconds or so, so even signing into a lot of websites is hard.

@Dashrender Thanks for the feedback. The training will include some leave-behind materials to help you recall any specifics. Additionally, there is always the user's guide to refresh your memory, or you can always call our support number for 24/7 assistance.

We are just starting to plan our hardware refresh. I'm seriously considering Scale. I like the info that I've seen so far.

We love ours, it has been great.

I'm still pulling down information..... I need a vibrant DR plan in place or decided on before I commit to a platform. It always seems to be overlooked as an afterthought.

Common approach is to get something like a Synology or a ReadyNAS and use the Scale HC3 built in snapshot and export backup functionality to push full image backups on a schedule out to the NAS.
