The DSO is a community-supported orchestra that is celebrated as one of the nation’s most forward-thinking. Based in historic Orchestra Hall within the Max M. and Marjorie S. Fisher Music Centre, the DSO presents a variety of musical genres and performance types: classical, pops, jazz, and even yoga set to live music. The orchestra looks to be on the leading edge and wanted to utilise the latest technology in order to upgrade its previous SAN system.

Looking to simplify IT management while remaining cost effective, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra decided to pursue a hyperconverged platform and opted for Scale Computing’s HC3 cluster. The appliance has no additional software to license and no training is needed. In addition, the HC3 solution is built in a scale-out architecture, where nodes can be added, allowing for future growth and capacity demands.

The Scale Computing HC3 cluster integrates server, storage and virtualisation into a single appliance that delivers simplicity, availability and scalability.

 

“I felt like I was saving from the start. Scale Computing’s HC3 solution was easy, simple and a non-profit organisation’s dream. All I had to do was unbox the product and place on a rack - it was ready to go,” commented Jody Harper, director of IT at the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. “HC3 is the best product I've ever purchased as an IT professional. We want to be ahead of the curve and hyperconvergence has enabled us to do just that.”

 

Jeff Ready, CEO at Scale Computing commented, “Organisations need to be able modernise their IT infrastructure while staying agile and cost effective. We are pleased to have enabled the Detroit Symphony Orchestra to implement a solution that meets their growing requirements by simplifying IT management and offering a scale-out platform.”
