Tegile Systems,
the leading provider of flash-driven storage arrays for
databases, virtualized server and virtual desktop environments, today
announced an integration with Cisco UCS Director to orchestrate and
automate an end-to-end IT converged infrastructure management
process.
IT
deployment of data center resources make the difference between a
successful enterprise and an ineffective one. Tegile’s IntelliStack
integration with Cisco UCS Director improves consistency efficiency
and speed. Through the integration, enterprises are able to deploy
the latest in flash storage technology from Tegile supported with
the Cisco UCS Director interface that manages infrastructure
components including compute, network, virtualization and storage
as well as public clouds such as Amazon and Azure.
“Tegile and Cisco already have a long-standing partnership, but by
further integrating our technology we’re helping enterprises
optimize their entire infrastructure management process with the
latest innovation in flash storage at its core,” said Rob Commins,
Vice President of Marketing at Tegile. “Extending our partnership
with Cisco provides exceptional flexibility and power for our
rapidly expanding enterprise customer base to increase their
efficiency and leverage public cloud providers.”
By combining Tegile’s IntelliStack with Cisco UCS Director,
enterprises are able to replace manual provisioning and
de-provisioning of private and public cloud data center resources
with automated workflows, ultimately reducing delivery time from
days to weeks. Tegile’s industry-leading data reduction
capabilities also lower capital expenses by enabling real-time
monitoring, dynamic load balancing and optimum resource usage. As a
result, enterprises better manage a breadth of flash-based
workloads and easily scale applications to support the success of
their organizations.
“Our customers use Tegile
arrays and Cisco compute for a wide variety of workloads including
scaling virtual machines, email and databases,” said Kerry Hand,
Director of Business Development at vZure, a Cisco Cloud
Integration Partner. “We’ve received positive feedback that validates
that together Tegile and Cisco provide seamless management of
companies’ IT infrastructure.”
“Tegile’s integration with UCS allows UCLA to seamlessly manage
storage, compute and network via a single user interface,” said
Jarett Horinouchi, Network Administrator at UCLA Social Sciences
Computing. “This makes it easy for us to scale applications and
orchestrate workloads across virtual machines, and ultimately
achieve a new level of efficiency in our operations.”
The integration is a multi-hypervisor solution with support for
VMware ESX, Microsoft Hyper-V and Red Hat KVM hypervisors and
public clouds such as Amazon and Azure. IntelliStack with Cisco
UCS Director’s task library allows orchestration, workflow
management, and single-touch deployment of virtual machines,
hosts, and virtual networks. In addition, a broad OS guest support
facilitates cloning of Windows and Linux virtual machines, and
monitors host and virtual machine memory and resource use.
