Southwest Surveillance
PALO ALTO, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Pivot3, Inc., the market leader in storage-centric computing, today announced
that its resellers CameraWATCH, ConnectionsIT, NAV and Southwest each deployed
more than a petabyte of storage in gaming customer environments in 2009. Pivot3
will recognize their success with the first annual Pivot3 Platinum Resellers
Award at the Global Gaming Expo (G2E) at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The
company will also demonstrate the latest Serverless Computing solutions at booth
#2882. 

"Our customers are embracing the terrific value that open-systems companies like
Pivot3 provide," said Jim Walker, vice president of CameraWATCH. "Pivot3 servers
and storage are a key element of the transition to open systems and have been a
key driver of our growth in 2009." 

"We are constantly on the lookout for new technologies like Pivot3 Serverless
Computing that improve project returns on investment," said Scott Bartlett, CEO
of Southwest Surveillance. "In a challenging environment for gaming investment,
Pivot3 offers concrete savings in acquisition and management costs that matter
most." 

"We have consistently used our IT expertise to bring the best in open systems to
our customers," said Brody Carlson, CEO of ConnectionsIT. "We rely on
standards-based systems and on the deep technical skills of partners like Pivot3
to make sure that the interoperability promise of open systems is delivered to
our customers in the field." 

"NAV has broad experience in bringing new technologies to the gaming market,"
said Cyndi Freschi, founder and president of North American Video. "Our proven
formula is working with vendors like Pivot3 that bring more functionality at a
lower cost." 

"We want to congratulate our most successful channel partners with this award,"
said Lee Caswell, founder and chief marketing officer of Pivot3. "Open-system
resellers in the gaming market are now selling more storage in one year than
most resellers in general IT will sell in five years. Pivot3 is proud to
recognize these key drivers of this trend." 

Pivot3 Serverless Computing consolidates physical servers into a SAN by adding
server virtualization into each scale-out SAN appliance. Unlike conventional
head-end storage arrays, the Pivot3 solution has ample hardware resources to
offer both server and storage virtualization. Pivot3 SAN software aggregates the
storage resources of each SAN appliance, and hosted servers have access to the
resources of all the aggregated SAN appliances. Both data and applications are
protected in the case of appliance failures.
