Tegile Systems, the leading provider of flash-driven
storage arrays for databases, virtualized server and virtual desktop
environments, announced today that its line of IntelliFlash storage arrays
have been certified for use with the newly-announced VMware Horizon View 6.0 to
deliver virtual or remote desktops and applications as part of a single
platform to ensure the best possible user experience.
VMware Horizon View 6.0 delivers virtualized and remote
desktops and applications through a single platform and supports end users with
access to all of their Windows and online resources through a unified
workspace, providing all the resources they want at the speed and efficiency
they expect. Working closely with
partners like Tegile allows VMware to certify solutions that address business
challenges across a variety of use cases and deployment scenarios. This latest validation continues Tegile's
commitment to VMware certification as part of its ongoing Horizon View family
of virtualization solutions.
In addition to allowing organizations to extend the power
of desktop and application virtualization to support workplace mobility, while
driving greater levels of operational efficiency at lower costs, highlights of
VMware Horizon View 6.0 include central management of virtual, physical and BYO
images, desktops and applications delivered through a single platform, and a
unified workspace with great user experience.
Tegile IntelliFlash architecture extends the benefits of
Horizon View 6.0 by keeping frequently accessed application data in flash while
less frequently accessed user data can be stored on disk, allowing customers to
leverage the most appropriate network topology for their applications and
desktops. The high performance delivered
by Tegile's IntelliFlash arrays is optimized to deliver the best user
experience possible for application and desktops. Additionally, Tegile's VM-aware storage
management tools shift storage management from a LUN/file system/RAID group
granularity to a VM granularity, making provisioning, monitoring and management
of storage easy for virtualization managers.
"VDI continues to be adopted by businesses of all sizes
looking to capitalize on the benefits of virtualization, consolidation and
centralization of desktop management and VMware is certainly one of the leading
platforms adopted for this purpose," said Rob Commins, Tegile vice president of
marketing. "By certifying our
IntelliFlash solutions with the latest version of VMware Horizon View, we are
able to deliver a richer desktop experience while dramatically reducing the
amount of storage required in order to provide a consistent and optimal
end-user experience."
