Pivot3 vSTAC is an Excellent Hyperconverged Solution
Pros
- Deployment was very easy. Pivot3 staff were involved in the POC, and the transition was fairly smooth.
- This is an all-flash hyperconverged cluster. It is easily scalable and has excellent performance.
- We frequently burst internal virtual workloads, and this 5 node cluster can support around 15,000 IOPs and 1 GB/sec of throughput.
Cons
- The cluster is actually very easy to use. It might be nice if the dashboard had more detailed metrics, but those are available in a different interface.
Return on Investment
- Definitely a positive ROI. We are not seeing some of the latency issues that were beginning to crop up on our older hardware.
