Bartholomew County Selecting Tintri

Tintri, Inc. announced that Bartholomew County, Indiana has deployed
a Tintri VMstore T540 appliance to support its VDI.

Bartholomew County ran into cost and performance barriers with its legacy
storage system as it began virtualizing more server workloads. The experience
made the county hesitant to use its existing storage for a VDI project. After
evaluating a number of alternatives for a VDI project, Bartholomew County
selected Tintri’s VM-aware storage solution for its performance,
end-user experience and its low cost-per-VM.

Bartholomew County previously used FC storage systems to
support its virtual environment, but needed additional storage capacity to
ensure adequate performance for its growing pool of virtual desktops. It was
determined that their existing storage solution could not support the increased
performance demands of mixed server and desktop workloads.

Tintri’s VM-aware
storage solution, purpose-built to handle mixed virtualized workloads,
has allowed Bartholomew County to slash its storage footprint by over 50% while
supporting over 120 VMs on a single node. Additionally, Tintri’s VM and
vDisk-level management simplified administration so both virtualization and
storage administrators can proactively monitor and troubleshoot individual VMs.

"Tintri’s intuitive
management and VM-aware statistics made proactive troubleshooting a breeze,"
said Jenifer Slabaugh, systems administrator for Bartholomew County. "We currently run 120 concurrent desktop
sessions on the Tintri appliance and still have plenty of performance and
capacity left to expand the footprint, thanks to Tintri’s architecture, which
leverages flash as first-class storage rather than as cache."

"Like most government
agencies, Bartholomew County needs reliable high-performance storage at the
lowest possible cost per desktop," said Kieran Harty, Tintri CEO.
"Our VM-aware solution is
purpose-built for virtual environments. Tintri’s customers are able to
proactively manage deployments via a simple, intuitive management console that
allows administrators to quickly diagnose and address problems, letting them
spend time on more important issues."
