Pivot3 To Unveil Hyper-converged Infrastructure Solution For SMB, ROBO Clients

#Hyperconverged infrastructure technology developer #Pivot3 this week will unveil the availability of Edge Office, an all-flash storage solution targeting small- and medium-sized business (SMB) customers and remote and branch offices (ROBO). Edge Office is aimed at taking the cost sting out of implementing hyper-converged infrastructure solutions, said Ron Nash, CEO of the Austin, Texas-based vendor. Most hyper-converged infrastructure solutions feature 2U appliances with up to a dozen hard drive slots, Nash told CRN. However, the cost for such a solution, including the minimum of three nodes needed to protect against failure, is high. "Three 2U appliances, that's a pretty hefty configuration to start," he said.
