Back to All Partners Scale Computing INVITE Networks is a Scale Computing hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) and edge computing partner, deploying and managing HyperCore-based environments for enterprise and mid-market organizations in Salt Lake City and Phoenix. INVITE handles platform sizing, deployment, disaster recovery configuration, and ongoing lifecycle management — so IT teams get simplified infrastructure without adding headcount to run it. TL;DR: Scale Computing HyperCore replaces traditional servers, virtualization software, and shared storage with a single self-healing hyperconverged platform, and INVITE deploys and manages it end-to-end for organizations that want simpler infrastructure without a bigger IT footprint. This page is for IT directors and VPs of Infrastructure evaluating a Scale Computing partner who can own the deployment and ongoing management of a hyperconverged environment. What does INVITE Networks deliver as a Scale Computing partner? Scale Computing HyperCore is a hyperconverged infrastructure platform that consolidates compute, storage, and virtualization into a single self-healing system, eliminating the separate virtualization software, backup appliances, and SAN/NAS hardware that traditional data centers require. INVITE Networks designs, deploys, and manages Scale Computing environments as part of its broader managed services practice, handling everything from initial cluster sizing and network configuration to patching, monitoring, and disaster recovery testing. For organizations replatforming aging server infrastructure or standing up new edge locations, INVITE also integrates HyperCore deployments into a broader cloud and infrastructure strategy, so the hyperconverged environment fits alongside existing cloud workloads and connectivity rather than operating as an isolated island. Why do Salt Lake City and Phoenix organizations choose INVITE for Scale Computing HCI? Mid-market organizations in Salt Lake City and Phoenix typically don’t have a dedicated virtualization engineer on staff, which makes Scale Computing’s simplified architecture a natural fit — but only if someone is managing it correctly day to day. INVITE fills that gap: monitoring cluster health, applying firmware and software updates, and validating that disaster recovery failover actually works before it’s needed in a real outage. Organizations most often bring INVITE a Scale Computing project when aging physical servers and a standalone backup appliance are due for refresh at the same time. INVITE consolidates that footprint onto a HyperCore cluster it deploys and manages remotely — with recovery time objectives defined, tested, and validated as part of the engagement rather than assumed. How does INVITE manage Scale Computing as part of its managed services? INVITE’s managed services team monitors HyperCore clusters continuously for node health, storage utilization, and replication status, with automated alerting tied into INVITE’s network operations center. When firmware updates or HyperCore software releases come out, INVITE schedules and executes them during maintenance windows rather than leaving that responsibility with the client. Disaster recovery is treated as an ongoing discipline, not a one-time setup: INVITE runs scheduled failover tests against replicated VMs, documents results, and adjusts recovery point objectives as the client’s workloads change. This ongoing management model is part of INVITE’s broader managed services offering, which extends the same operational discipline across a client’s full infrastructure stack, not just the HCI layer. What Scale Computing products does INVITE deploy and manage? INVITE works across Scale Computing’s core product line, including HyperCore for core data center and branch-office virtualization, HyperCore for edge computing deployments in retail, industrial, and remote-site environments, and HyperCore-based disaster recovery configurations that replicate workloads between a client’s primary site and a secondary location or INVITE-managed cloud environment. INVITE also advises on hardware selection, matching Scale-certified nodes to the client’s actual compute and storage requirements rather than over-provisioning by default.

Frequently Asked Questions: Scale Computing Hyperconverged Infrastructure Is INVITE Networks an authorized Scale Computing partner? Yes. INVITE Networks is an authorized Scale Computing partner, which means the team is trained and certified on HyperCore deployment, licensing, and support, and works directly with Scale Computing on escalations, roadmap updates, and hardware compatibility questions. Can INVITE manage Scale Computing HyperCore if we don’t have an internal virtualization team? Yes — this is the most common scenario INVITE supports. Most Salt Lake City and Phoenix clients running Scale Computing don’t have a dedicated virtualization engineer, so INVITE’s managed services team handles day-to-day monitoring, patching, and disaster recovery testing as a full extension of the client’s IT function. What makes Scale Computing different from VMware or other hyperconverged platforms? Scale Computing HyperCore is built around a self-healing architecture that automatically detects node failures and redistributes workloads without manual intervention, and it doesn’t require separate licensing for the hypervisor, storage layer, and management console the way some competing platforms do. That simplicity reduces both the number of moving parts INVITE has to manage and the total cost of the environment. How long does a typical Scale Computing HyperCore deployment take? A standard three-to-five-node cluster deployment, including data migration from existing servers, typically takes two to four weeks from kickoff to production cutover, depending on the number of workloads being migrated and whether disaster recovery replication is part of the initial scope. INVITE builds a migration plan during discovery so there’s no unplanned downtime during cutover.
