Pivot3, the hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) performance and technology leader, today announced that it has certified its infrastructure solutions for mission-critical IoT, safe cities and smart building environments operating with Milestone Systems video management software (VMS). This certification confirms that organizations can gain access to infrastructure that is proven to deliver the performance, resilience and scalability required in mission-critical environments.

Enterprises rely on information from multiple sources, including security and surveillance platforms, to gain new levels of intelligence to secure their environment. Pivot3 provides extreme levels of availability and comprehensive data protection that has been proven in high-profile environments, including Majid Al Futtaim Properties, Caesars Entertainment, the University of Central Florida, and many others.

Pivot3 supports the unique needs of these environments by optimizing its platform in operation with Milestone XProtect VMS. Certified according to Milestone's robust testing criteria, solutions using Pivot3 and Milestone guarantee that valuable data assets captured with Milestone meet the required performance benchmarks, stored and protected with Pivot3. Pivot3 streamlines video management and storage capabilities by hosting VMS, other security applications and IT workloads on one unified platform, thereby reducing hardware investments and datacenter footprint, and simplifying management.

"Our global market cooperation with Pivot3 equips organizations to capture and access critical video data and insulates them from the risk of downtime or data loss from major system failures," said Henrik Sydbo Hansen, group manager, devices and integrations, Milestone Systems. "Pivot3's ability to deliver the performance and resilience required to meet the complex and evolving needs of today's demanding enterprise-class IoT and security applications is a key factor in our ongoing collaboration."
