The Pivot3 Acuity platform supports the industry-standard iSCSI protocol to present storage to both hypervisor and non-hypervisor environments.

The iSCSI protocol can also be leveraged to present storage directly to VMs, which is often referred to as "in-guest iSCSI". Pivot3 recommends utilizing a modern iSCSI initiator that supports MPIO ALUA in Round-Robin policy.

MPIO ALUA = Multipath Input/Output Asymmetric Logical Unit Access
