MR2,
a leading IT solutions integration company, and Pivot3,
a pioneer and innovator of hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI), have
partnered to bring Pivot3’s software-defined solutions for the data
center to mid to large-size organizations, adding to their robust
portfolio of enterprise-class technology solutions and data center
management strategies.
“We are pleased to add Pivot3 as a technology partner,” said Ron
Salazar, general manager of MR2 Solutions. “We always strive to build a
designed architecture based on three value propositions: investment
protection, cost containment and ease of use. Pivot3 meets all three
criteria. The company's HCI platform will help us address the challenges
of a bimodal IT landscape and help our customers modernize their data
center.”
With a focus on a strong ecosystem of technology partners, market
leaders and visionary manufacturers who help deliver end-to-end
solutions to customers, MR2’s portfolio includes hardware and software
solutions focused on storage, business continuity and disaster recover,
data protection, networking, security, cloud-based services and
hyper-converged infrastructure.
Pivot3 provides customers with a cost-efficient and easy-to-manage HCI
platform that reduces complexity and risk associated with data center
management so IT can focus on driving business outcomes. Pivot3’s
state-of-the-art technology allows customers to maximize their IT
investment with best-in-class storage capacity utilization, performance
acceleration and industry-leading fault tolerance for high-demand

HCI vendor that unites storage, server, networking and virtualization
resources from separate appliances to offer a truly Global
Hyper-Converged Infrastructure solution in an easy to adopt,
pay-as-you-grow model.
“This partnership will allow Pivot3 to reach more forward-thinking
companies that are looking to transform IT operations and its economics
with a single unified platform,” said Bruce Milne, CMO at Pivot3. “We
look forward to building our relationship and leveraging MR2’s
experience in dynamic infrastructure technology that focuses on
protecting the entire data lifecycle of any organization.”
MR2’s mission is to establish genuine, long-term business relationships
with customers as their trusted advisor and true technology partner. As
enterprise IT continues to address the challenges of major paradigm
shifts that impact operational environments and the role of IT
professionals, relationships between IT visionaries and integrators are
crucial in how companies approach and invest in their infrastructure
solutions. Together, the partnership between MR2 and Pivot3 will provide
customers with the right set of HCI solutions for their unique IT
environments.
