Global Hyper-Convergence Simple. Efficient. Resilient.

Pivot3, the inventors of software-
defined storage and pioneers in
hyper-converged infrastructure
(HCI) solutions for the data
center, offers a broad portfolio
of Enterprise HCI appliances for
high performance workloads in
data intensive environments such
as virtual desktop infrastructure,
Our patented technology makes hyper-convergence more
accessible, affordable, and adaptable to your needs without
implementing wasteful replication and deduplication schemes.
• Performance
- Bypass the hypervisor for 30-40% increased storage performance
- All systems scale linearly, modularly, and dynamically
• Resiliency
- Industry-leading high availability of up to 99.9999% at lower cost
- Up to five drive fault tolerance with no data loss

surveillance, disaster recovery, • Efficiency

and server virtualization. - Up to 94% usable storage capacity
- Smallest data footprint available, extremely low compute overhead

Founded in 2002, and delivering

the first-to-market HCI solution
in 2008, Pivot3 offers maximum
storage efficiency, increased
compute performance
and system resiliency in a
homogenous, scalable appliance
model to over 1,600 customers in
53 countries.

“IT is about more than just technology these days; it’s about business. As enterprises look for storage solutions that allow
for affordable management of ever-increasing amounts of data, Pivot3’s Global Hyper-Convergence offers excellent useable
storage capacity resulting in a much lower price per terabyte than that of traditional storage vendors, or only locally hyper-
converged systems. In addition, where businesses used to have to invest millions of dollars on storage and data protection,
they now can implement a superior, easily scalable solution for much less.”

are saying:
Global Hyper-Convergence
Customers in 53 Countries
Assistant Director,
Government
Operations, Singapore
“The Pivot3 hyper-converged appliance gives
us the capacity we need to accommodate the
current and future growth of the surveillance
network. We estimate we wiill need more than
two petabytes of storage space in the future,
but we expect to grow far beyond this, and the
Pivot3 system will let us grow as we need it,
whenever we need it.”
Managing Director,
Value Added
Distributor, MEA
“With the growing importance of hyper
converged solutions, Pivot3 is a valuable
addition to our new IT infrastructure and security
division in line with our commitment to bring
cutting edge technology to our partners.”
AWA R DS
System Administrator,
Public Safety, New York,
U.S.
“We chose Pivot3 because it offered video
surveillance storage with virtual servers that have
high availability, shared storage and eliminate the
requirement of physical servers, which reduced
the acquisition cost and operational cost by 35%
to 40%. Pivot3 met all of our expectations in
cost and performance. It enabled us to expand
security services [and] increase our productivity
by increasing the monitoring and video
surveillance efficiency.”
Senior IT Architect,
Innovative Natural
Resources Company
“My entire budget would’ve only covered
the cost of the SAN needed for any other VDI
solution, but we got the entire solution with
Pivot3”.

HCI For the 21st Century

As modalities of IT continue to shift from legacy-based infrastructures to converged and
hyper-converged infrastructures, it’s important to remember: not all HCI is created equal.

The market for HCI is exploding as enterprises search for more affordable, high-availability
solutions for overly complex data centers and exponential growth in data storage needs. HCI
is a technological development that is causing fundamental shifts in the IT sector, and Pivot3
is - and has always been - pioneering this innovation.

The future of the data center relies on 21st century storage and compute solutions. New ideas,
innovation and technologies are what drives us to bring you global hyper-convergence – a
revolutionary approach to data protection that goes beyond making copies through data
replication.

Founded in 2002 and delivering GHCI solutions since 2008, we proudly service over 1,600
customers in 53 countries and more than 13,000 devices…and we’re just getting started.
