Disk-Based Data Protection


The transition from tape to disk-based backup systems is driven by the need for fast restore times to meet enterprise compliance and business continuity initiatives. With disk-based systems now approaching the cost basis of tape, a new class of secondary storage is being introduced across the enterprise so that data search, access and restore times for backup data can meet real-time requirements. As compliance needs and faster restore capabilities become business critical, disk-based data protection is the solution of choice for many IT departments.

Pivot3 is the only secondary storage platform that virtualizes high availability backup and media servers inside a scale-out IP SAN platform to save 40% on rackspace, power and cooling.

The Pivot3 unified virtual architecture provides:

  • both SAN and NAS as needed
  • high availability without clustering or dedicated hardware
  • improved efficiency by eliminating separately powered servers
  • investment protection with a simple scale-out appliance model.

Furthermore, the Pivot3 architecture is built on an open standard that can fit into any existing IT infrastructure.

The bottom line - Pivot3 does more with less.
