Pivot3 Hyperconverged Blades
The Next Generation of IT Infrastructure

Overview:

Pivot3’s Hyper-Converged Blades blend virtual storage and compute resources with the high computational density of blades to deliver the most efficient platform for consolidating the data centers of medium to large enterprises. The HCI Blade shared architecture allows IT organizations to focus on driving business outcomes rather than being wholly absorbed by maintenance and scaling projects. Pivot3 vSTAC OS automatically creates a virtual SAN while aggregating and sharing all resources within a blade and across the cluster. With a pay-as-you-grow scale-out model and central management for simplicity, performance and data security, the HCI Blade is the most efficient way to power the enterprise.

• Converged virtual storage & compute resources –no complex SAN.
• Up to 9,000 virtual machines per rack.
• Pay-as-you-grow scale-out model, no need to throw out existing infrastructure.
• Cluster-aware infrastructure pools resources as nodes are added.
• Centralized management for productivity, efficiency, and data security.

vSTAC Hyperconverged Solutions

Pivot3 delivers hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) solutions that maximize resource utilization, provide high availability that performs and offer flexible deployment options. Unlike conventional HCI solutions that strand critical resources on each node, Pivot3’s distributed scale-out architecture pools each HCI node’s compute and storage capacity for consumption by every VM and application. Pivot3’s patented Scalar Erasure Coding provides remarkably efficient high availability that maintains performance during degraded mode conditions. Start with what you need, and scale compute and storage to meet your specific application requirements.

Maximum Infrastructure Utilization
Pivot3’s distributed scale-out architecture aggregates all storage and compute resources into a common pool available to all virtual machines, which enables the platform to support four times the number of virtual machines as traditional infrastructures. Caching, bandwidth and IOPS, along with storage efficiency and capacity are scaled linearly simply by adding nodes to the cluster.

Lower TCO & Better ROI
vSTAC OS, Pivot3’s operating environment, consumes less than 10% overhead, leaving more system resources for VMs and applications. Pivot3's interoperability with existing storage and application servers allows businesses to leverage their HCI with existing IT investments. In addition to reducing datacenter footprint, Pivot3 delivers maximum capacity utilization and availability with half the nodes and at lower costs than replication-based systems.

Efficient High Availability
Most HCI solutions rely on replication for data protection, which sacrifices capacity for availability. Pivot3 provides the optimum combination of efficiency, protection, and performance that businesses need. Pivot3’s advanced fault tolerance maintains performance during degraded mode conditions, and sustains business operations after up to five drive failures, or if a node and drive fail concurrently.

Simple, Intelligent Management
By converging compute, storage and VM management, Pivot3 automates systems management with capabilities including self-optimizing, self-healing, and self-monitoring. In addition to increasing end-user productivity, the Pivot3 vCenter plugin provides a single-pane-of-glass to simplify management of single and multi-site deployments.
