Introductions
-
Whether you're a Scale Computing customer or not, please introduce yourself here. Our goal is to build a robust technology community based off hyperconverged infrastructure. We want to get to know what you are running, issues you've had and what types of workloads you've deployed.
To kick this off, my name is Shane Weinbrecht (@Shrizrah). I've been entrenched in virtualization for many years and have pushed the buttons on most platforms, primarily VMware and KVM (Scale Computing). I have a dual role at Scale, Sr. Systems Engineer and Community Mgr, NA (my 'night' job). Looking forward to meeting more of the ML family!
Thank you,

I got my first exposure to Scale when building a 4-Node cluster as an upgrade to a VMware setup. It's been a great experience!

Nice to "see" you here Shane! I was introduced to Scale by @scottalanmiller who introduced me to @BrianBauer and Jennifer Ball. I am now learning more from the sales/marketing end of things these days.

I got my first experience with Scale at a SpiceCorps of NE Ohio meetup. @scale picked up dinner for all of us, which came in a long 2nd to the demos done by the engineer that came out. Seriously, sending an engineer instead of a sales guppy was brilliant. Haven't purchased a new server in years, but I recommend @scale all the time.

@Minion-Queen Likewise, although I am truly sorry that one of your first introductions was to @BrianBauer .... I kid, he is a super star!

I'd say you should come back around, but the local spicecorp leaders kinda fell off the face of the earth here.

A tech group failing in rural eastern Ohio? How is that possible?

lol, this one was based out of Cleveland.... I actually met another guy that I grew up with going to the Spicecorps, turned out he lives a couple miles away from where I work. We actually had like 5 people that work in Amish Country going to those spicecorps meetups.

I presented at two Cleveland SC meetings, it's been a bit ago.

It's amazing how far people actually travel for the good groups. In NYC and DFW, the healthy groups were bringing in people two hours away routinely.

My name is Morgan Balas and I am the Technical Writer at Scale Computing. I have been with Scale for almost 5 years now. I was previously a ScaleCare Support member, moving from Tier I to Installation Manager and Senior Tier II Support Engineer before transitioning to Technical Writer. I still work closely with the Support Team on a daily basis and you'll even catch me handling cases and calls from time to time to keep up on product changes and customer concerns. It's all in the best interest of making applicable documentation that makes customers' lives easier!
Definitely give us a shout if you ever have any questions or concerns (or even recommendations and feature requests!). We love to hear from customers and, as @blakerodier said, ensure they have a #BestEver support experience!
