    It is only suitable for a vSphere deployment. This particular cluster is best suited for very demanding workloads.

    Pros
    Discontinued Products
    • 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
    Discontinued Products
    • 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.

    We reviewed the technology and pricing prior to commencing a POC. Pivot3 looked the best initially and delivered. We did not test the others ourselves.

    • Definitely a positive ROI. We are not seeing some of the latency issues that were beginning to crop up on our older hardware.
