Details
At maximum a Pivot3 Acuity X5 Hybrid vPG (aka "cluster") consists of 12 X5-2x00 nodes. The maximum configuration consists of 2 Flash Accelerator nodes + 10 non-accelerator nodes.

At maximum a Pivot3 Acuity X5 All-Flash vPG (aka "cluster" ) consists of 16 X5-6x00 nodes. The maximum configuration consists of 2 Flash Accelerator nodes + 14 non-accelerator nodes.

At maximum a Pivot3 Acuity X3 Hybrid vPG (aka "cluster") consists of 8 X3-2x00 nodes. The maximum configuration consists of 2 Flash Accelerator nodes + 6 non-accelerator nodes.

At maximum a Pivot3 Acuity X3 All-Flash vPG (aka "cluster" ) consists of 8 X3-6x00 nodes. The maximum configuration consists of 2 Flash Accelerator nodes + 6 non-accelerator nodes.

A Pivot3 Acuity vPG (aka "cluster" ) always needs to include 2 Flash Accelerator nodes, because the NMVe PCIe cards are used as write-buffer and all writes have to be mirrored between these two nodes to protect the incoming data streams.

A Pivot3 Domain can include multiple vPGs and therefore can have an unlimited number of nodes. All vPGs can be managed as one pool of resources from a single management pane. VMs can have data stored on multiple clusters and vMotion between any cluster works seamlessly.
