Stage2Data to Power Private Cloud Hosting Solutions

Pivot3, Inc., in hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) for the software-defined data center, announced that Stage2Data, Inc., a Canadian cloud solution provider, has joined the Pivot3 Partner Program.

Stage2Data will deploy Pivot3’s HCI technology to power its on-premise private cloud solutions, Legal Flex and Data Flex, as well as its DR as a service (DRaaS) offering.

“We are pleased to partner with Stage2Data to power their leading private cloud and DRaaS offerings,” said Jamie Lerner, chief revenue officer, Pivot3. “Pivot3’s industry-leading scale-out architecture and high fault tolerance provides Stage2Data with cloud-like agility and the security of on-premise systems to solve the challenges around distributed hosting and BC.“

Legal Flex and Data Flex are hosting solutions provided by Stage2Data and powered by Pivot3’s hyper-converged technology. Used by the Canadian Bar Association, Legal Flex is built for law firms that require on-site storage, but with the agility and economics of the cloud combined with application-level and site-level fault tolerance to mitigate risk, compliance issues and prohibitive up-front costs. Data Flex is Stage2Data’s hosting solution for other professional firms. Stage2Data provides 100% management of both Legal Flex and Data Flex with a monthly fee.

“By partnering with Pivot3, we can give our customers the agility of the cloud and the security of DR and data protection in the enterprise data center,” said Stephen Pyott, national sales manager, Stage2Data. “Canadian firms are often legally prohibited from using hosting centers that do not physically reside in the country. We now have a great alternative for those firms who need an optimized hosting platform.“
