Pivot3 Launches 1U Acuity X3 Series HCI Solutions

Pivot3, Inc. announced the availability of its Acuity X3 Series HCI solutions, which bring enterprise-grade features to SMBs, ROBOs, edge, and enterprise use cases that require a smaller footprint.

The solution allows organizations to confidently consolidate multiple, mixed-application workloads onto a single infrastructure to help lower cost and reduce datacenter footprint.

The solution is for enterprises and SMBs that require a space-efficient solution with performance and a suite of data services, including efficient erasure coding, data protection, data reduction, and integration with vSphere and vCenter, for database applications, virtual desktops, edge processing and mixed workload use cases. The Acuity X3 Series brings performance and sophisticated policy-based management in a 1U appliance, allowing organizations to experience guaranteed performance of critical applications within a range of use cases while equipping a small IT staff team to manage entire multi-site distributed environments from a single pane of glass.

The Acuity X3 Series provides the same features found in the firm’s Acuity X5 Series, which is based on NVMe flash architecture and delivers six times the performance of conventional HCI solutions and runs two-to-three times more VMs per HCI node. It also includes the company’s policy-based QoS that automates performance and data protection operations and eliminates resource contention. With this combination of features, organizations are able to support critical applications, reduce OPEX and CAPEX, reduce complexity and manage multiple, mixed-application workloads in a single infrastructure.

“Pivot3’s policy-based approach to HCI has ushered in a new era of innovation for organizations seeking the highest performance in the datacenter,” said David Anderson, MD, Anderson IT Management. “The Acuity X3 Series addresses a critical need in the market by reducing complexity and footprint without compromising performance – a solution that is ideal for a wide range of enterprise, SMB, edge and ROBO use cases.“
