Tegile Citrix Ready

Tegile Systems, Inc., in primary storage de-duplication in virtualised server and
desktop environments, announced that its storage arrays have been verified as Citrix Ready.

The Citrix Ready programme helps customers identify third-party solutions that
are recommended to enhance virtualisation, networking and cloud computing
solutions from Citrix Systems, Inc. Tegile completed a verification process to ensure compatibility with Citrix
products, providing confidence in joint solution compatibility.

Customers can be confident that Tegile has
passed a series of tests established by Citrix, and can be trusted to work with
Citrix products in order to strengthen its focus on virtualisation
applications. The achievement of the Citrix Ready Technology Partner status and
of the Citrix Ready product certification means that Citrix will now showcase
and recommend Tegile solutions to its customers as part of its Citrix
Application Delivery Infrastructure.

It is also proof that Tegile and its technology meet a range of demanding
criteria, joining a group of vendors that includes Hitachi Data Systems, Huawei Symantec,
IBM
and Toshiba.

"We are pleased to have Tegile
Systems join us in the Citrix Ready programme," said Ranjit Castelino,
director of Citrix Ready at Citrix. "Citrix
Ready makes it easier for organisations to select the most suitable
virtualisation infrastructure products for their specific needs. By taking part
in our programme, Tegile Systems has enabled its customers to obtain the
highest quality user experience available today, and the simplest means for
making an informed product purchasing selection."

"While planning our server
virtualisation implementation, it became clear that we should include desktop
virtualisation as well," said Ben Croxton, IT director, Global
directories, the parent company of U.S.-Yellow Pages. "Storage systems from incumbent vendors
didn’t have the performance we’d need over time as we grew. Of the several new
hybrid arrays we looked at, Tegile certainly had the most powerful platform,
the richest feature set and their entire team has been a pleasure to work with." 

"Tegile is growing rapidly and
joining the Citrix Ready Programme is a key element of our business strategy
because it gives our customers and prospects the confidence that our products
and technology complement their Citrix investments," said Rob Commins,
VP of marketing at Tegile. "This
certification will help us and our channel partners generate new revenue
opportunities, improve customer satisfaction and increase exposure in the
marketplace."
