It joins the T800 hybrid-flash series to create a portfolio of VM-aware storage platforms that offer enterprises and service providers their choice of storage, hypervisor and packaging to best meet their needs. Powered by the same Tintri OS and real time VM-level analytics, the new products will enable customers to easily optimise virtualised workloads across the T5000 and T800 systems.

Announcement includes additional products:

  • OS 4.0 provides a single OS for both the T5000 and T800 platforms.

  • Tintri Global Center  (TGC) 2.1 manages and provides actionable real time VM-level analytics for more than 100,000 VMs. TGC 2.1 extends ease of management and analytics capabilities to mixed VMstore all-flash and hybrid-flash environments by identifying ‘flash-hungry’ VMs and enables administrators to move the workloads to a all-flash system. It is capable of not only dynamically assigning service group policies for data protection and QoS but also transferring and retaining the same service group settings when a VM is moved to another VMstore.

  • VMstack Converged Infrastructure is a VM-aware converged solution providing customers the choice of hybrid-flash or all-flash storage, multiple hypervisors, compute and network. Select company’s partners including 5S, Groupware,nfrastructure, P1 Technologies, RediCloud - a  division of  Axispoint, and  Virtual Armor will offer pre-qualified, integrated solutions designed for specific use cases such as VDI, high performance enterprise applications and private cloud.

The VMstore T5000 all-flash series includes two models – the VMstore T5060 and T5080 can store up to 5,000 VMs in a 2U form factor and up to 100,000 VMs, 1.4PB of data and 4 million IO/s in a single rack. The series is designed for very large database farms, analytics workloads and large persistent virtual desktops, which demand predictable, high throughput and sub-millisecond latency across their entire multi-terabyte capacity.

The existing T800 hybrid-flash series will continue to support enterprises seeking the optimum balance of all flash performance and value with the same VM-aware capabilities as the T5000. With 99% of storage IO from flash, the T800 series is the ideal platform for most server virtualisation, VDI, private cloud and test and development use cases.

The T5000 and T800 are solutions to provide real time, VM-level analytics. Customers can identify and act on changes in VM performance and capacity use across their entire infrastructure and across multiple hypervisors, including vSphere, Hyper-V, OpenStack or Red Hat Enterprise Virtualisation.

We have consistently heard from business leaders that the performance of their virtualised applications is paramount to the success of their organisations,” said Ken Klein, CEO and chairman, Tintri. “Many storage vendors respond by focusing on speeds and feeds and who has more or less flash. They’re selling expensive Band-Aids. Tintri focuses on the root cause with storage specifically built for virtualised enterprises. With today’s announcement, we bring VM-awareness to all-flash, and offer a common platform with hybrid-flash on which customers can analyse and optimise workloads.

Tintri’s launch of its All-Flash series allows us to offer customers a complete portfolio of VM-aware storage solutions. It expands our ability to offer customers of all sizes a choice of storage, hypervisor and packaging. This allows us to provide businesses’ a wider range of solutions to handle the most demanding VM environments,” commented Paul Fuller, sales director and marketing director, Rcom Consulting.

The company’s VMstack Converged Infrastructure offering customers the choice of storage platform, hypervisor, compute and network infrastructure VMstack partners will offer a variety of pre-qualified integrated solutions for specific use cases including:

  • VMstack for Server Virtualisation: optimised for server virtualisation based on vSphere, Hyper-V or other Red Hat Enterprise Virtualisation sized for typical virtualised server applications.

  • VMstack for VDI: optimised for VDI, based on VMware Horizon with View or Citrix XenDesktop running on supported hypervisor platforms, sized for various user counts and concurrent desktop use.

  • VMstack for private cloud: optimised for private clouds based on VMware vRealize Suite, or OpenStack and sized for large numbers of dynamic workloads with a high rate of change.

Customers who purchase VMstack solutions from Tintri partners that include Cisco hardware will enjoy the added benefit of global level one (24×7) support from Cisco.

We’re excited to be a VMstack Converged Infrastructure Partner,” said Aaron Cardenas, CEO, P1 Technologies. “We built our VMstack solutions with the philosophy that they should be loosely coupled, but tightly knit-to offer a simpler experience for our customers to set up, monitor, manage performance and by extension, guarantee SLAs. With Tintri as the storage component, customers benefit from VM-level visibility across the infrastructure, so they always have a finger on the pulse of their virtual footprint. Our portfolio of VMstack solutions supports everything from departmental projects to enterprise-wide, large scale deployments.

The VMstore T5000 series is available for ordering worldwide and is expected to ship in September 2015.

Tintri will exhibit the new solutions at VMworld in San Francisco, CA, on August 30-September 3, 2015.
