A Pivot3 Case Study
TECHnalysis Research, working on behalf of Pivot3, looked at the IT pressures facing health care organizations: strict HIPAA and privacy requirements, the need to secure and integrate sensitive patient data with partners, and rising complexity around storage and virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). A survey of U.S. health care IT pros highlighted security, privacy and partner integration as the top pain points driving change.
Pivot3’s hyper‑converged appliances—software‑defined, rackmount systems running vSTAC OS with Scalar Erasure Coding—combine compute, storage and networking to simplify operations, reduce reliance on SANs, and lower storage costs while keeping data secure. The approach also boosts VDI support (tests show up to twice the desktop sessions vs. comparable non‑erasure solutions), helping health care IT teams deliver secure, efficient access to patient data and accelerate adoption of converged infrastructure.
