Dolph’s Pick: Pivot3 Hyperconverged Storage
Some say living on the edge can be risky and dangerous. However, there are times when it can be fast, safe and fun. I am referring to the Edge Protect system from Pivot 3. This offering is a hyperconverged storage area network (SAN) solution for midsized and remotely distributed surveillance. The syst
em utilizes off-the-shelf x86 server hardware with efficient shared storage and built-in failover.
The demand for high-resolution network video surveillance is great. Edge Protect can handle up to 200 cameras at a price point competitive with direct attached storage (DAS). The system’s unique architecture ensures all storage is accessible by all cameras regardless of physical location. In the past, many of the features in this system were only found in large-scale SAN and virtual server environments. pivot3.com
