Hardware Stability Guide Introduction

Hardware FAQ Solution, Hardware Overview:

This document is intended for Scala Certified Partners (SCPs). Most issues address running a computer display or interactive system 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (24x7), allowing uninterrupted remote updates and maintenance.

Scala has partnered with a number of hardware manufacturers in order to offer ready-made Scala player configurations. These pre-configured systems alleviate integration issues, and allow you to focus on your primary business. Before embarking on your own integration, we encourage you to look at the hardware from Equus, JVC, NEC, or Panasonic.

The one thing you can count on in the computer industry is change. It's sometimes tough to keep up with all of the latest and greatest technological advances, while still managing to keep your Scala system running day in and day out in a 7x24 environment. Scala is an amazing product, but with the wrong combination of hardware and/or software drivers or by not configuring them properly, your system can be unstable.
