Hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) developer Pivot3 and Tracewell Systems have partnered to offer a purpose-built computing solution for military and defence customers, it was announced on 1 September.

Tracewell Systems will use Pivot3's HCI software to enable application virtualisation, improve usable storage and deliver high survivability. The solution aims to power computationally intense applications in space-constrained forward-deployed military environments.

The joint solution from Pivot3 and Tracewell Systems offers secure data storage and high computational performance that can be deployed on airborne, sub-surface and surface military platforms. It has high survivability based on Pivot3's patented Scalar Erasure Coding technology.

Pivot3's HCI infrastructure will be used to support large workloads such as application virtualisation, high-peformance computing and Big Data analytics. The solution will offer software-defined storage technology with Pivot3's Scalar Erasure Coding for drive and server fault tolerance. The solution will be based on a commercial off-the-shelf hardware platform rather than custom military hardware.

Ron Nash, CEO, Pivot3, said: 'By integrating Pivot3's HCI technology, Tracewell can maximise the performance of its dense, ruggedised T-FX2 solution designed for space-constrained and computationally intensive military environments.

'The high storage efficiency of Pivot3 HCI, combined with low compute overhead allows for maximum resources to be available to run advanced algorithms and perform complex operations on large databases.'
