Pivot3 vSTAC SLX

Pivot3's vSTAC SLX adds a tier of all-flash or hybrid-flash storage to the Austin, Texas-based company's hyper-converged infrastructure offering beyond what would be added with a new compute/storage node. This lets cloud builders, cloud service providers or managed service providers scale either low-cost or high-performance capacity and to segregate certain storage volumes from the hyper-converged infrastructure cluster. Cloud providers can also charge different rates based on storage tiers within the hyper-converged environment. The all-flash or hybrid storage tiers and the hyper-converged infrastructure clusters are managed via a VMware vCenter Server plug-in.

The vSTAC SLX also provides dynamic quality of service capabilities including pre-defined policies to apply to client storage volumes or virtual machines, the ability to prioritize certain applications and volumes over others, and the use of multiple tiers of storage-media-based policies.
