Pivot3 Hyperconverged Infrastructure Software Platform With VMware Site Recovery Manager Interoperability

Pivot3, Inc. announced interoperability of its hyperconverged infrastructure software platform with the latest version of VMware Site Recovery Manager.

This offering continues the relationship between the company – a VMware Advanced Technology Alliance Partner – and VMware, Inc. and gives mutual customers the ability to simplify BC delivery using the VMware Site Recovery Manager 8.2.

“We are pleased to be one of the first technology partners for VMware Site Recovery Manager 8.2 at release,” said Mike Koponen, senior director, product marketing and technical alliances, Pivot3. “Our customers expect us to make their most mission-critical IT deployments more resilient, secure and manageable; we are now extending Pivot3’s policy-based management approach to organizations implementing DR strategies with containerized VMware Site Recovery Manager.“

IT teams cannot afford downtime in the event of a catastrophic system failure. Through integration with and use of VMware Site Recovery Manager, the company can automate and orchestrate non-disruptive testing and execution of recovery plans to minimize downtime in case of disasters. The firm’s storage replication is integrated with VMware Photon OS, an OS purpose-built for VMware infrastructures.

VMware Site Recovery Manager 8.2 is deployed as a Photon OS-based virtual appliance and can be installed directly from vCenter Server. The Photon OS-based deployment model simplifies setup of Site Recovery Manager components and DR plans and reduces layers of complexity associated with Windows Server VMs.

The company’s containerized Storage Replication Adapter brings policy-based data protection and replication technology to Site Recovery Manager 8.2. This extends the automation and orchestration capabilities of the firm’s ‘Intelligence Engine’ to automate customers’ DR operations, simplifying management and protecting mission-critical deployments.

“VMware Site Recovery Manager 8.2 simplifies data recovery management and can increase security with a Photon OS-based virtual appliance,” said Ori Broit, senior product marketing manager, VMware. “With this offering, Pivot3 is one of the first technology alliance partners interoperating with this new VMware Site Recovery Manager deployment model.“

Available, this version of the company’s Storage Replication Adapter for VMware Site Recovery Manager in conjunction with the firm’s policy-based ‘Intelligence Engine’ simplifies infrastructure management and DR operations, making DR more accessible to customers.
