These products announced in April reset industry conventions for QoS and address long-standing performance and policy pains of enterprise data centers and service providers.

• Tintri OS 3.2. Administrators can allocate exact maximum and minimum IO/s to each individual VM. Unlike conventional QoS, which requires administrators to predict the right values, Tintri provides visual guidance on the QoS values to specify, removing guesswork. The patent pending VM-level QoS is paired with powerful contention visualization in the UI. Now administrators can see the immediate impact of throttle changes on VM-level latency instead of waiting for end user feedback. The visualization spans the entire infrastructure – including latency stemming from host, network, storage contention and QoS throttle.

• SyncVM. This product, based on patent-pending technology, allows the user to move back and forth between snapshots of an individual VM without losing other snapshots or performance history. Administrators can also use this capability to update hundreds of ‘child’ VMs from a refreshed ‘master’ VM without physically moving data or reconfiguring the VM and/or storage. They can even automate the process with Tintri PowerShell or REST APIs.

• Global Center 2.0. Enterprises and service providers can monitor and manage more than 100,000 VMs from a single pane of glass. They can manage dynamic collections of VMs based on group definitions and policies. Groups can span VMstores, hypervisor types and geographies.

“With this release, Tintri enables per-VM QoS, scalable management of thousands of VMs and important use-cases like test and development with our unique VM-level storage technology,” said Kieran Harty, CTO and co-founder. “The extensive input and deep involvement of Tintri customers during the beta has been outstanding, and it shows in the quality of the products we are delivering today.“

“SyncVM is a quick and easy way to restore VMs from a snapshot. There are times that we need to restore a VM without going to backups, and SyncVM is a quick management tool for restoring VMs from any snapshot without losing snaps on that VM or any others.” said Jason Palmer, CIO, HiTouch Business Services

“SyncVM not only allows easy cloning of a production server to multiple development servers, but also synchronizes production data from the original production source server into multiple development environments much faster and with minimal data transfer compared to traditional storage systems. Tintri Global Center 2.0 enables single pane of management in addition to features such as VM-level replication that Tintri offers.“, said Jeffrey Wilhelm, CTO, Envision Technology Advisors LLC.

“No other vendor has these features and makes them available so simply.” — Brian Mislavsky, information systems engineer, George Washington University

Tintri OS 3.2 is available to all VMstore owners with a company’s support contract. SyncVM is available for purchase as separately licensed software for VMstore. Global Center 2.0 is available for all current Global Center owners with a support contract, and as separately licensed software for all VMstore owners.
