Tintri, Inc., a leading producer of VM-aware storage (VAS) for virtualization and enterprise cloud, today announced that in the company's fiscal year Q3 that ended October 31, 2016, Tintri experienced strong demand for its enterprise cloud and all-flash storage solutions.

During this period, Tintri closed more deals over $1 million than in any other quarter in company history, with a customer base that now includes more than 20 percent of the Fortune 100 companies. Demand for the Tintri T5000 VMstore all-flash series increased rapidly during the first year since it was introduced to the market in August 2015.

"The third quarter was a great success for Tintri," said Ken Klein, chairman and CEO of Tintri. "The company saw strong sales to enterprises and service providers seeking to simplify the deployment and management of enterprise cloud.
