Tegile Systems, the leading provider of flash-driven storage arrays for databases, virtualized server and virtual desktop environments, today announced it was evaluated as the best hybrid storage solution for midsize companies in the DCIG 2016-2017 Midmarket Enterprise Storage Array Buyer’s Guide. As the only vendor to earn the “recommended” ranking, Tegile is ideal for enterprises seeking storage solutions that are fast, flexible and economical. This is the second consecutive year Tegile ranked at the top of the guide.

The DCIG 2016-2017 Midmarket Enterprise Storage Array Buyer’s Guide evaluated 17 arrays from 10 different storage providers, including Dell, EMC, HPE, and Nimble. Tegile’s T3100, T3200, and T3300 each earned first place with a “Recommended” designation. In particular, Tegile’s T-Series arrays were noted for their:

• Flash-first architecture: IntelliFlash’s Metadata Accelerated technology separates metadata from the primary data path, allowing inline deduplication and compression to effectively increase capacity by up to fives times the original amount.
• Native SAN and NAS protocol support: In a single appliance, storage can be scaled through all-flash or hybrid storage shelves.
• Easy management and integrations: Tegile arrays can be managed via a web-based interface or REST APIs. Tegile arrays provide more integrations than any other product in the Buyer’s Guide.

Tegile hybrid storage arrays leverage the performance of flash, the density of hard disks and the rich features of IntelliFlash operating system to deliver a compelling storage platform that accelerates a wide variety of workloads in the enterprise. Fully redundant with active/active controllers, these arrays are built for enterprise datacenters with resilience, data availability and data protection in mind. With Tegile hybrid arrays, companies no longer have to compromise between performance, capacity and cost for accelerating and protecting their enterprise applications.

The Tegile T3100 hybrid storage array represents the entry configuration, featuring 26TB of HDD capacity with 750GB of flash capacity. The company’s T3200 and T3300 are designed to deliver higher performance for I/O intensive workloads.

“The DCIG Buyer’s Guide is one of the most well-respected resources for IT decision-makers in the industry,” said Rob Commins, vice president of marketing at Tegile. “The fact that our hybrid arrays rank at the top of pack is an objective testament to the exceptional performance and economics that we build in our products, furthering our mission to bring flash to every company’s datacenter, regardless of size.”
