CIOsynergy,
a provider of thought-leading events, today announced the participation
of Tegile Systems at its event at the Hotel ZaZa Houston in Texas
October 16.
Tegile’s mission is to accelerate the
transformation of enterprise IT by changing the performance and
economics of enterprise storage. Tegile’s Intelligent Storage arrays
are purpose-built to deliver optimized storage performance for various
application workloads, making them an excellent fit for mission-critical
virtualized environments. The company’s patented IntelliFlash
architecture with in-line deduplication and compression enables IT
departments to balance high performance, capacity and features with
game-changing storage economics.
IntelliFlash easily integrates into diverse
enterprise IT environments by supporting SAN and NAS deployments from
the same array with Fibre Channel and iSCSI block-level protocols, as
well as NFS and CIFS file-level protocols. Tegile provides
high-performance, low-latency storage to the hypervisor while allowing
users to simultaneously share files via NFS. And unlike other array
vendors that at best only provide compression, Tegile’s data
optimization also provides inline data reduction to further reduce
acquisition and operational costs critical in virtual environments.
“We are thrilled to have Tegile Systems at CIOsynergy Houston,”
said Patrick Mason, director of communications and marketing at
CIOsynergy. “As the leading provider of flash-driven storage arrays for
databases, virtualized server and virtual desktop environments their
presence will provide event attendees with an additional layer of
industry insights and thought leadership.”
“With demand growing for bigger data and
faster service, an enterprise’s choice of storage can make or break
their business,” said Rob Commins, Tegile vice president of marketing.
“We look forward to our sponsorship of and participation at CIOsynergy,
where we can enlighten attending CIOs to the importance of implementing
solutions that can make their mission-critical environments easier to
manage with faster, more-reliable, more=scalable and less-expensive
storage arrays than standard hard disk-based systems.”
CIOsynergy Houston is an exclusive
opportunity for leading local CIO and IT executives to network and
brainstorm how to overcome daily hurdles within an unparalleled learning
environment, under the umbrella of keynote of the event, John Sculley.
Sculley is one of America’s best-known business leaders, with one foot
in the storied history of Apple technology and the other planted firmly
in 21st century innovations that change the way the world
does business. Few entrepreneurs have been as successful across so many
fields as Sculley. His success stories include telecommunications,
financial services, healthcare, high technology, Internet services,
consumer marketing and IT supply chain.
Sculley was Pepsi-Cola Co.’s youngest CEO,
leading the firm through its high-growth years with hugely successful
experience-marketing innovations – “Pepsi Generation” and “Pepsi
Challenge” – to become the largest-selling consumer packaged goods in
America. In 1982, Steve Jobs was building the first Macintosh computer
and believed the future of computing would be shaped by ease-of-use and
he recruited Sculley to Apple as CEO to teach the company how to do big
brand-experience marketing. The Macintosh introductory TV commercial at
the 1984 Super Bowl became the most-famous advertising campaign of all
time.
Since leaving Apple, Sculley and his Sculley
Brothers Family Office has helped many high-technology serial
entrepreneurs build some of the most disruptively innovative
technology-enabled firms. These include MetroPCS, HotWire, NFO Research,
Intralinks and Credit Trade. Currently, Sculley is a mentor and
investor in mobility and Big Data analytics; consumerization of
healthcare; database marketing; IT supply chain; and emerging financial
services.
At CIOsynergy Houston, a panel of leading
CIOs, moderated by Scott Shuster, will share and explore how CIOs can be
successful in their role. Shuster has led virtually every Businessweek
CEO, CFO and CIO conference held since the founding of the magazine’s
events group – more than 100 of the world’s most-prominent gatherings of
large-company leaders and senior executives.
