Pivot3 Hyperconverged Infrastructure

Dynamic Technology

Due to a series of intelligent optimizations that make Pivot3’s architecture inherently unique, end users across all workloads and use cases benefit from higher levels of availability and fault tolerance, which prevents against data loss and ensures business continuity. While most other hyperconverged vendors rely on resource-intensive, hardware-based replication, Pivot3 uses erasure coding to distribute data across the system ensuring maximum performance and resiliency are always maintained. This aggregated resource distribution for virtual storage and compute provides increased performance and efficiency for all virtual machines, industry-leading usable storage capacity, and scales out linearly with each added node. All of this is easily managed through a single user interface, seamless VMware integration, and comes pre-configured with straightforward management capabilities that are self-optimizing, self-monitoring and self-healing.

Key Benefits

• Performance – 2-3X the performance of replication-based 'local' HCI platforms with extremely low compute overhead.
• Resiliency – Extreme availability and high fault tolerance so you never lose data in the event of a drive or node failure.
• Efficiency – The most efficient data protection platform in the industry with maximum usable storage capacity for significant cost savings.
• Simplicity – Effortless, single-source-of-truth management capabilities that are self-optimizing, self-monitoring, and self-healing.

Flexible Deployment Options

Pivot3 provides a wide range of hyperconverged  solutions depending on customer need.Our innovation is in our software platform, which is designed to run on a variety of hardware options.We package our solutions either as preconfigured appliances or as software-only that can be installed on the customer’s hardware platform of choice.

• Maximum resource utilization: HCI nodes deliver maximum resource utilization and high availability that performs via unified compute and storage within our patented vSTAC operating environment with flexible deployment options.
• Better ROI with vSTAC OS: Pivot3’s lean operating environment consumes less than 8% of system resources, leaving more available for VMs and applications. And highly-efficient capacity utilization improves as it scales, up to 94% in certain cases.
• Support the full spectrum of data center needs: With the simplicity and economics of HCI and the predictable performance of flash and Dynamic QoS, businesses can now confidently support a full spectrum of applications, including mission-critical, with low-latency shared flash acceleration and granular, automated performance management.
