Pivot3 mentions in
storage market
history
In June 2007 -
Pivot3 launched its
version of RAID - called
RAIGE (RAID Across Independent Gigabit Ethernet) which was an early example of
redefining arrays to
big controller
architecture and SDS.
In January 2016 -
Pivot3 eased its way
into the SSD market by announcing that it had agreed to acquire
NexGen Storage (which
had been in the auto tiering / caching / hybrid (SSD ASAP) appliance
market. |

ensuring 99.9999% fault tolerance for up to three simultaneous drive failures or
one appliance and one drive." |

Pivot3 acquires NexGen |
Editor:- January 27, 2016 -
NexGen Storage
announced
today it has agreed to be acquired by Pivot3.
Editor's
comments:- The last time I wrote about Pivot3 was 7 years ago. I had a
good feeling about their
big controller
architecture thinking which was being applied to hard drive arrays but
I viewed it more as a valuable
efficiency boost to
buy breathing space for the
last gasp years of
enterprise HDD rather than the new direction I was focused on - which was
heading towards the solid state storage datacenter. And so - from my point of
view - I had nothing more to say.
On the other hand we're heard
about NexGen
many
times in recent years.
Combining the software and architecture from
these 2 companies could produce a platform with characteristics comparable to
the best upwardly stretched efforts of much better known competitors if
Pivot3 and NexGen can draw the integration boundaries in the right places (and
get it done quickly enough). | | |
.. |
| As a simplification you
could say that all legacy platforms are really just inefficiently configured,
archeologically interesting, subset implementations of future hyperconverged
architecture.
