StratoGen Selected Tintri for Public and Private Cloud Services

Tintri, Inc., a producer of VM-aware storage for virtualisation and cloud environments, announced StratoGen Internet Ltd is using Tintri VMstore across its public and private cloud services for simplified management and increased performance.

Since deploying Tintri, StratoGen has achieved a 4x reduction in its data centre footprint and power consumption, while offering customers fast performance and improved DR services.

StratoGen is a VMware hosting provider, delivering cloud computing and managed hosting solutions. Given their footprint and demanding requirements, it needed a storage platform that could enable high levels of customer services across three data centres in the UK, US and Asia. The company needed to be able to both scale rapidly and deliver performance.

After encountering Tintri through a VMware Partner Exchange and running a demo with development and production workloads, StratoGen purchased two Tintri solutions: one for the main data centre in the US and another one for the UK. The second system was used to create a dedicated environment for one of StratoGen’s largest customers.

Since the Tintri deployment StratoGen has been able to offer its customers a better option for DR and guaranteed QoS and that has helped StratoGen build differentiated services and stronger customer relationships.

Dan Gould, CTO, StratoGen commented: “The way that Tintri is able to balance workloads enables us to guarantee QoS and IO/s. Our clients that had performance problems in our previous environment are no longer having issues. Tintri has taken us from a position where we could have potentially lost customers, to one where we can retain all of our existing customers as well as attract new ones. Tintri allows us to state confidently that our customers will get a certain level of performance and it enables us to show how easy it is to manage the environment.“

Michael McGuire, CSO, Tintri said: “The Tintri solution is designed to offer high performance and simplified management. StratoGen has proved that storage can be a source of strength and a competitive advantage for service providers. We are pleased that StratoGen and its customers are all benefitting from the simplicity and performance of VM-aware storage.“
