Tintri Opens Office in Japan

Tintri, Inc., the producer of
VM-aware, flash-based storage appliances, announced the opening of a Tintri
office in Japan, extending the availability of its products and support
offerings in the region.

The announcement demonstrates Tintri’s momentum following 30 new
customers in Q1 2012 and key software updates to Tintri VMstore, including cloning capabilities and VAAI support.

"The Japan market has
been important to our overall growth objectives and the launch of a local
Tintri office further demonstrates our commitment to this market," said Kieran Harty, Tintri CEO. "After experiencing explosive demand for VM-aware storage in Japan, we
believe opening an office is the next logical step in our larger growth
strategy for Tintri in 2012 and beyond."

Heading up the Japanese office (Tintri Japan, G.K.) are
Michiaki Kono and Kenji Shuto, who come from EMC Japan where they were
previously responsible for starting up Data Domain Japan. As industry veterans, Kono will be heading up sales efforts while Shuto
will serve as the technical/SE director in Japan.

Tintri Japan, G.K. will partner with distributors and systems integrators to
deliver the VMstore appliance products to market.

"We believe that the
formal presence of Tintri in Japan will significantly increase the market
adoption of Tintri’s VMstore as enterprises seek to overcome legacy storage
bottlenecks and simplify operations in their virtual environments,"
said Kono. "More and more of data
centers in Japan are being virtualized, and we see a great opportunity for
Tintri in providing a superior alternative to traditional networked storage
adapted to VMs."

In addition to business development, sales and marketing for the
Japanese market, the Japanese office will provide local technical support
and services.
