Tegile Systems,
the leading provider of flash-driven storage arrays for databases,
virtualized server and virtual desktop environments, today announced
that CollabNet, a leader in open Application Lifecycle Management, has
selected its Intelligent Flash Storage System to provide the
"future-forward" technology needed to provide the features and
performance of its hosted solutions.
CollabNet provides industry-leading products, plus Agile consulting
and training services, to help organizations of all sizes develop and
deploy software faster. CollabNet is the creator of Subversion and a
pioneer in open Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) solutions. By
providing innovative tools and methodologies at scale, CollabNet enables
companies to bring together distributed teams, increase productivity,
accelerate time to market and reduce costs.
Brought in to "shake
things up," CollabNet's Senior Director of Worldwide Operations and
Corporate IT Richard Moon began to look into alternatives for the
purpose of replacing its aging NetApp infrastructure.
"CollabNet
was primarily a NetApp shop when I came aboard," said Moon. I was
looking at other alternatives since NetApp's model was to force upgrades
on us. We needed to do what we were doing with NetApp but I wanted to
do it better. We wanted a future-forward technology."

Intelligent Flash Storage Arrays with IntelliFlash help boost storage
utilization and efficiency and deliver unmatched storage savings and
performance. Tegile's flash arrays deliver a comprehensive set of data
management capabilities while seamlessly supporting different storage
media (hard disks, dense flash, high-performance flash) under a single
storage operating system. Companies like CollabNet can dial up or down
the amount of flash storage to meet the specific performance needs of
their applications to provide the high performance of flash with the
economics of disk storage.
Tegile's data services features, including remote replication,
snapshots, mirroring and inline deduplication provided CollabNet with
the future-forward technology that it was looking for. In addition to
helping the performance of its Subversion SCM management environment,
the switch to Tegile's Intelligent Flash Arrays provided CollabNet with
the storage resources needed to migrate its CloudForge collaborative
application development offerings in house, which were previously hosted
externally.
"When faced with a hardware refresh, companies need
not simply replace their existing storage with more of the same in order
to maintain their mission-critical business infrastructure," said Rob Commins,
vice president of marketing at Tegile. "Today, there is a new class of
enterprise storage systems that are faster, and oftentimes, less
expensive than legacy arrays. We're pleased that our Intelligent Flash
Arrays could offer CollabNet the comprehensive set of data management
capabilities and appealing economics it needed to satisfy its customers'
needs for enterprise agility at scale."
