A growing footprint across the region will help us reach new customers and better serve current customers that are adding or expanding data centers.

“As virtualisation adoption grows across AsiaPac, Tintri is poised to tap into the market with our all-flash storage platform.

Tintri will help them simplify management, reduce expenses and focus on the applications that matter to their business.“
