Niche Player: Pivot3
Pivot3 ranks fourth for vision and among the middle of the pack for execution on the Magic Quadrant. The Austin, Texas-based hyperconverged and video surveillance specialist’s Acuity HCI software is designed for large-scale, video-based workloads such as analytics, surveillance, VDI and visualization. Pivot3 has recently enhanced its Intelligence Engine to provide auto-healing, quick node rebuild, and intelligent monitoring and analytics capabilities to address large-scale HCI deployments.
Strengths: Acuity is well-suited to support large-scale, video-based workloads as mission-critical infrastructure for such use cases as security and surveillance, while also delivering AI and automation for management at scale for nontechnical users.
Weaknesses: Pivot3’s HCI software may be less compelling than less expensive offerings for use cases that are not deemed mission-critical or are smaller in scale, Gartner said.
