Pivot3,
a leading provider of intelligent infrastructure solutions, today
announced a strengthened relationship with Citrix to support the latest
version of Citrix Virtual Desktops on Pivot3’s intelligent
hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) platform. This gives customers the
ability to support mission-critical workforce mobility initiatives and
improve user experience with the simplicity and performance offered by
Pivot3’s intelligent automation and policy-based management capabilities.
Pivot3’s customers deploy Citrix virtual desktops for many business use
cases, including mobile medical workstations, financial trading
terminals, classroom and e-learning applications, multi-stream
monitoring of security systems, and others.
“As businesses progress toward a more distributed and mobile workforce,
IT plays a crucial role in providing the next generation of
infrastructure to deliver security, resilience and manageability at
scale,” said Mike Koponen, senior director product marketing and
technical alliances, Pivot3. “Citrix has proven itself as a leader in
solutions where VDI plays a critical role, and Pivot3 is an ideal
infrastructure platform for customers looking to reduce their datacenter
footprint while ensuring the performance and scalability of their VDI
environments.”
“Citrix customers are deploying mission-critical virtual desktop
deployments across a wide range of verticals including healthcare,
financial services, engineering, manufacturing and more,” said John
Panagulias, director, Citrix Ready, Citrix. “We are thrilled to join
forces with Pivot3 in our mission to provide superior performance and
user experience for today’s increasingly mobile and distributed
workforce.”
Pivot3 HCI is powered by the industry’s only policy-based Intelligence
Engine, which provides automated performance, data protection and
security management, and an NVMe flash multi-tier architecture to
accelerate performance and reduce datacenter footprint for Citrix
customers, delivering the best end-user experience possible from their
virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) deployment Additionally, Pivot3’s
ability to scale compute, storage and graphics processing units (GPUs)
separately offers ultimate flexibility as the Citrix VDI environment
scales, helping to simplify VDI-phased deployments.
Pivot3 recently partnered with Login VSI to test and document a reference
solution architecture utilizing Pivot3 HCI, Citrix Virtual Desktops and
Windows 10. The reference architecture validates how Pivot3 can
support market-leading densities for demanding VDI workloads, helping
reduce the hardware footprint.
“We were delighted to see how Pivot3 performed with Login VSI’s
benchmark. We used one of the more demanding workloads with the Windows
10 operating system and Knowledge Worker workload profile, and Pivot3
was able to deliver incredibly impressive benchmark performance charts,”
said Blair Parkhill, director, products, Login VSI. “In our opinion,
Pivot3’s policy-based management capability is a powerful tool to
automate user performance management, simplify VDI, and deliver a
superior end-user experience.”
