Pavilion Data Systems was a San Jose, California storage company founded in 2014 by Kiran Malwankar, Sundar Kanthadai and VR Satish. It built the Pavilion HyperParallel Flash Array (HFA) — a rack-scale NVMe-over-Fabrics array with up to 20 controllers and 72 SSDs in a 4U chassis — running its own HyperOS storage operating system, later extended with the HyperParallel File System for AI, analytics and HPC workloads. The product datasheet advertised flexible management through a RESTful API, DMTF Redfish and SNIA Swordfish, a web GUI and a CLI, plus vCenter, Kubernetes and OpenStack integrations, but that management reference shipped with the appliance and was never published at a public developer URL. The company ceased operations on 12 October 2022 after attempts to sell the business and to raise a further round both failed, and pavilion.io no longer serves HTTP.
Pavilion is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Storage, Flash Storage, NVMe, and NVMe over Fabrics.
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the
Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so
Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite.
If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your
provider repo — the
applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

x-pointer-notes:
website: NO Website pointer is wired. The company domain pavilion.io still resolves in DNS but refuses TCP 80 and 443 (probed
2026-08-26), so a Website pointer would be a confirmed-dead pointer. The Forge Global page is a secondary-market trading
venue listing, not the company's web presence, and has been re-typed to the non-scoring SecondaryMarketListing so it stops
standing in for a Website (roadmap#56).
well_known: well-known/pavilion-data-well-known.yml records the probe but carries NO WellKnown or SecurityTxt pointer —
every path failed at connect time, so nothing was served.

detail: Pavilion Data Systems ceased operations on 2022-10-12; pavilion.io still resolves to two AWS addresses and publishes
SPF/DMARC, but both A records refuse TCP 80 and 443 and every developer subdomain (docs, api, developer, portal, support,
status) is NXDOMAIN.
