VAD Arrow Electronics Distributor of Pivot3

Pivot3, Inc. announced a distribution agreement with Arrow Electronics, Inc.

As a VAD, Arrow will bring Pivot3’s fast, scalable and performing HCI solutions to its US reseller base and play a key role in Pivot3’s OEM relationship with Lenovo Enterprise Solutions, Pte Ltd.

The collaboration follows Pivot3’s August 2017 expansion of its Channel Partner Program, which was designed to help channel providers differentiate and profit as they address the fast-growing HCI market.

Arrow brings a reseller community and will provide additional go-to-market capacity for Pivot3’s growth and expansion in the HCI market, while equipping its provider ecosystem with solutions to support a broader range of use cases, including data center modernization, end-user computing, big data and analytics, enterprise, database and mission-critical streaming media applications. In addition, Arrow will provide configuration services for Pivot3’s platform on Lenovo servers.

Pivot3’s Acuity HCI platform is an HCI solution to combine a policy-based QoS engine with a NVMe flash data path, making it for consolidating mixed-application workloads onto a common infrastructure. Recent tests showed that it provides six times the performance, three times the VM density and 25% less hardware compared to other HCI solutions*.

“Arrow is a premier global distributor with significant experience supporting game-changing technologies like hyperconvergence,” said Mark Maisano, VP of channel sales, Pivot3. “As demand for our Acuity HCI platform grows, Arrow’s breadth, depth and expertise will be a tremendous resource for positioning our solutions through the channel. We’re eager to collaborate and work side by side with Arrow in supporting HCI adoption throughout the US market.“

* Based on testing conducted in Pivot3 engineering lab, using industry test tools including Login VSI and HammerDB, and comparing to publicly available information from other HCI vendors.
