Pivot3 Acuity vs. StorMagic SvSAN

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

The StorMagic SvSAN solution is certainly suitable for two-node architectures where business continuity is required at a reasonable price, with a workload that is not particularly complex. It is not the right solution if you have a virtual environment with a large number of VMs and workloads that require high performance.

• 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.

• Storage Mirroring
• Low Price
• Easy deploy
• Easy management

• 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.

• Technical support could be improved
• Inadequate performance for complex environments
• Architecture needs a witness

Deploying the solution is fairly simple. A system administrator with basic data centre knowledge can configure the StorMagic SvSAN suite independently by following the guides provided. Troubleshooting is greatly simplified thanks to the features available in the management interface. The dashboard allows you to easily manage the technology thanks to a very intuitive and well-designed 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.
