Canada’s largest musical instrument retailer modernized ageing servers and storage on Scale Computing.
The situation
Long & McQuade runs more than 70 locations from British Columbia to Newfoundland, on ageing servers and old storage arrays.
What they did
The chain deployed the Scale Computing HC3 platform to replace that hardware.
The result
The goal was a smaller data centre footprint and lower operating cost, delivered on one platform instead of separate servers and storage.
Why it matters
Multi-site retail needs central control and local resilience. The same design fits any organization running many locations.
