ScaleComputing HC3 uses its own proprietary HyperCore operating system and KVM-based hypervisor.

SCRIBE is an integral part of the Linux KVM platform to enable it to own the full software stack. As VMware and Microsoft dont allow such a tight integration, SCRIBE cannot be used with any other hypervisor platform.

Scale Computing HC3 supports a single hypervisor in contrast to other SDS/HCI products that support multiple hypervisors.

The Scale Computing HC3 hypervisor fully supports the following Guest operating systems:
Windows Server 2019
Windows Server 2016
Windows Server 2012 R2
Windows 10
Windows 8.1
CentOS Enterprise Linux
RHEL Enterprise Linux
Ubuntu Server
FreeBSD
SUSE Linux Enterprise
Fedora

Versions supported are versions currently supported by the operating system manufacturer.
