Pivot3 was founded in 2003 on the idea that today's stack of virtual servers, shared storage and networks could be radically simplified and unified through software innovation in order to drive down complexity and cost while dramatically increasing scale-out performance. The founders of Pivot3 applied their expertise in RAID and the development of numerous patents to invent a high-performing, parallel networked RAID system that runs on x86 commodity hardware and embeds server virtualization deep into the shared storage layer.

Today, the Pivot3 vSTAC™ delivers seamlessly unified, highly available shared storage and virtual server appliances that are purpose-built for modern virtual server and big data workloads. The company has over 500 customers across the globe deploying Pivot3 vSTAC unified storage and compute appliances. The company ships pre-configured and tuned vSTAC appliances for different target applications including video surveillance, virtualization and federated database. Pivot3 vSTAC appliances run on commodity hardware that eliminates many of the complexities, constraints and high costs associated with legacy shared storage and converged computing alternatives. Customers rely on Pivot3 for simplicity, scalability and savings.

Pivot3 products are deployed in the data protection, digital surveillance and rich media markets, and have seen particular success in the public sector, transportation, education and retail vertical segments. Today, Pivot3 is the number one supplier of IP SANs to the video surveillance market.
