Pivot3, the leading provider of intelligent hyperconverged
infrastructure solutions for mission-critical video, today announced
significant automation and intelligence enhancements to its Acuity software
platform to address the system administration, maintenance and availability
challenges often faced in large-scale video surveillance deployments. The new
intelligent system health and best practices analysis features provide
significant reductions in total cost of ownership, ensure 24 x 7 system uptime
in large multi-petabyte environments, and enable customers to automate
end-to-end system life-cycle management processes, all while ensuring
high-availability.
"Customers who have safety and security responsibilities
are increasingly required to manage large deployments of servers and storage
due to the number and resolution of cameras, the increasing use of video
analytics and other leading edge security applications," said Ben Bolles, vice
president of product management, Pivot3. "The sheer scale of these deployments
presents new management challenges for security personnel to keep systems
up-to-date and operating at peak performance and efficiency. Pivot3 is meeting
this growing challenge with expanded automation and intelligence capabilities
to provide customers with peace of mind, knowing their system is operating at
its utmost level of resilience and performance."
At the core of Pivot3's Acuity software platform is the
Pivot3 Intelligence Engine. The Intelligence Engine comprises many automated
system management capabilities including performance optimization, data
protection, auto-healing, system health monitoring and analytics that are
shared to Pivot3's Support Cloud. This automates traditionally time-consuming
systems administration and maintenance tasks to reduce operating expenses and
allows organizations to expand and improve their physical security posture with
fewer specialized IT skills.
Pivot3's Intelligence Engine now includes system-level
upgrade orchestration and health and best practices analyzer features optimized
for large-scale environments. The Upgrade Manager is designed to simplify
performing end-to-end system updates by automating mundane system
administration tasks, resulting in improved life-cycle management of
large-scale systems and a reduction in the specialized skills required to run
these sophisticated deployments. The Health and Best Practices Analyzer
automatically verifies system health and detects anomalies, both system-wide
and for individual appliances. To lower the risks and liabilities associated
with video evidence recording and access, the system also ensures that best
practices to deliver 24 X 7 system uptime and availability are observed.
Pivot3's new
Intelligence Engine capabilities are in version 10.8 of the Acuity software
platform available in Q3 2020. For more information, please visit
