Details
Pivot3 Acuity supports remote replication of storage snapshots to another Acuity vPG (cluster) within the same datacenter or in a remote datacenter.

Pivot3 Acuity supports remote replication of storage snapshots to a Pivot3 Acuity appliance hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Pivot3 Cloud Edition is an Amazon EC2 instance that uses Amazon S3 storage for storing incoming data from on-premises Pivot3 Acuity deployments. It can serve as an off-site repository for short-term and long-term backups, as well as hosting a DR copy. Pivot3 Cloud Edition is deployed as an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) so there is no manual installation involved.

All Pivot3 AWS appliances are currently deployed as t2.2xlarge (8 vCPUs; 32GB RAM) EC2 instances with EBS st1 (2/4/8/16TB HDD) for data storage and EBS gp2 (200GB SSD) for journal space.

Pivot3 AWS cloud appliances can be managed from the vCenter Plugin.

EBS = Elastic Block Storage
