Tegile IntelliFlash HD Array Available

Tegile Systems, Inc., provider of flash-driven storage arrays for databases, virtualized server and virtual desktop environments, announced that its IntelliFlash HD storage array is available worldwide through the company’s channel network.

IntelliFlash HD is a flash storage platform that brings hyperscale performance and economics to enterprise data centers.

Targeted at Fortune 1000 enterprise companies that are pursuing data center consolidation, IntelliFlash HD delivers up to 5 million IO/s and 10PB of capacity in a single rack at under 50 cents per effective gigabyte. With the ability to hyper-consolidate mixed workloads into a single storage platform, IntelliFlash HD is suited for enterprises that are seeking a balance between an infrastructure that delivers performance and one that stays within inevitable organizational financial constraints.

MLB Network, Major League Baseball’s 24/7 television channel, has been working with Tegile to test the IntelliFlash Flash HD in its post-production editing system for the last five months.

“The IntelliFlash HD has proven to be a valuable asset as we are always looking for ways to improve our post-production process,” said Tab Butler, senior director of media management and post production, MLB Network. “Given its efficient economics and powerful density, we have already begun using it to consolidate virtualized applications, SQL databases, and workstations boot from SAN.“

IntelliFlash HD is anchored by the Tegile IntelliFlash OS, which powers Tegile’s portfolio of all-flash and hybrid arrays. IntelliFlash OS combines several architectural innovations in flash management, data persistence and data management to enable IntelliFlash HD to deliver consolidation, simplicity and cost savings.

Innovations include:

• Scalable architecture: Future versions of IntelliFlash HD will have both scale up and scale out controllers for sustained low-latency and performance at high scale.
• High capacity density: 512TB in 3RU space with SanDisk InfiniFlash dense flash enclosure, with max of 10PB capacity in a single 42U rack.
• Sustained performance: High throughput and sub-millisecond latency with a maximum of up to 5 million IO/s in a single rack.
• One flash platform: Supports performance flash, high-density flash, and hybrid-flash configurations on the same platform.
• Data services: Snapshots, clones, thin provisioning, inline deduplication and compression.
• Affordable DR: Replicate between all-flash and hybrid configurations
  

IntelliFlash HD is for latency-sensitive applications and also for workloads such as large data warehouses, analytic applications, big data processing, image processing, and large private clouds that require economical performance acceleration. IntelliFlash HD storage arrays adapt to different media types in a single system, creating a good environment for any workload.

“Data resilience, economics, and investment protection are keys to accelerating the transformation of legacy storage infrastructures to all-flash,” said Tegile CEO Rohit Kshetrapal. “IntelliFlash HD is a game-changing flash platform that enterprises can rely on to achieve tremendous business acceleration coupled with very compelling economics.“

New Entry-level All-Flash Array
Tegile offers a portfolio of flash arrays solutions that provide investment protection. Enterprise customers can choose from a range of hybrid-flash, all-flash, and hyper-dense flash arrays to consolidate any and all application workloads in a single flash platform – starting at 5TB and scaling to multiple petabyte and all managed by a single storage OS. The company has also released its T3500, an entry-level all-flash array to help smaller customers begin their transformation to an all-flash data center.

Gartner recently commented in a report titled The Top 10 Must-Ask Questions When Evaluating Solid-State Storage Arrays (9 pages, $495), “The cost, features and suppliers of products in the Solid-State Array (SSA) market are changing at a rapid rate, fueled by innovation and vendor investment that will continue for the near future. SSAs are increasingly targeting consolidation of multiple application workload projects predicated on SSA performance, data reduction, QoS and data protection capabilities that make them a cost-effective alternative to traditional hybrid arrays.“

IntelliFlash HD and T3500 are available through Tegile’ global channel partner network.
