Tegile Contributes $2,500 to College’s Scholarship Fund

Tegile Systems, Inc. announced an initiative to help colleges and universities protect
their strained IT budgets while boosting their scholarship funds with its new ‘Don’t
Overpay for Storage’
promotion.

Under the program, Tegile will contribute $2,500 to a college’s scholarship
fund for every Zebi hybrid array purchased by a college or University through
June 30, 2013.

The college scholarship promotion is the latest piece in Tegile’s crusade to
prevent schools from wasting limited budget dollars for storage performance
they don’t need to meet their application workloads. According to Tegile, the
performance benefits of all-flash arrays are often oversold with customers
paying exorbitant prices for unnecessary IO/s.

Tegile provides hybrid storage arrays to higher education
institutions in the US for video surveillance, server consolidation, VDI and
SQL database optimization applications. The company’s arrays are powering
VDI installations throughout the country, including Washington and Lee
University in Virginia, Ventura and Mira Costa community colleges in California
and a 7,000-desktop deployment at the University of the Pacific.

Tegile is leading the campaign against overpaying for storage with their
Zebi hybrid array architecture that delivers a storage trifecta: performance, capacity and reliability at a low cost. The
sauce in Tegile’s patented technology is a front-end data de-duplication and
compression engines that reduces the data capacity before it reaches the flash
storage. The result is an increased cache hit ratio (both from DRAM level 1
cache and level 2 flash cache) and increasing the bandwidth
within the array. Additionally, Tegile’s Metadata Accelerated Storage
System separates out metadata from the data path and stores it exclusively on
fast flash storage to accelerate every storage function, even for data that
ends up residing on HDD storage.

"Tegile is obsessive about
universities busting their budgets for storage capacity they don’t need to
optimize application performance, so we’re putting our money where our mouth
is," said Rob Commins, VP marketing at Tegile. "This promotion highlights Tegile’s better
storage solution with a hybrid array architecture that provides cost-correct
storage with the price and performance characteristics precisely matched to the
college’s database acceleration and virtualization application needs. At the
same time Tegile is contributing to educating the next generation of technology
innovators so we see this as a win-win."
