Tintri and vSphere Web client
The company provides a native UI for managing storage operations such as cloning, snapshots and replication at the VM level. The vSphere Web Client plug-in 2.0 allows these company’s operations to be initiated and monitored through the native vCenter Web Client for added productivity. New features include granular role-based access controls (RBAC), allowing administrators to assign rights to perform Tintri commands to certain users and groups; support for company’s VM-level quality-of-service (QoS); support for company’s SyncVM for snapshot-based recovery and updates; and more.

“The Tintri vSphere Web Client plug-in 2.0 builds upon our previous plug-in release, providing further integrations with Tintri software, an enhanced design for efficient workflows and more granular role-based access control. Customers can continue to use the familiar vSphere Web Client interfaces while giving admins access to Tintri VM-aware storage features – all directly from within vSphere interface,” said Kieran Harty, co-founder and CTO, Tintri.
