Tegile Systems,
the leading provider of persistent-memory storage solutions for
databases, virtualized server and virtual desktop environments,
today expanded its Lifetime Storage program to now include the Lifetime
Storage Controller Refresh Program. With this expanded program,
customers can refresh their storage array controllers every three to
five years as part of their maintenance contract and without
replacing the entire storage array. This is designed to enable
organizations to realize the performance benefits of the most
advanced array controllers while avoiding incremental capital
outlays.
"As a central component of the storage array,
controllers are directly associated to the speed and performance
of the array within the data center," said Rob Commins, VP of
Marketing at Tegile. "By ingraining a controller refresh into
customers' maintenance contracts, we're ensuring they can achieve
optimal performance and remain competitive with their
infrastructure - while avoiding the capital expenditures or major system
upgrades dictated by other vendors in the market."
The Controller Refresh program is the newest addition to Tegile's
Lifetime Storage, aimed at enabling organizations of all sizes to
benefit from the latest technology on the market. Previously launched
options allow for a refresh of the entire storage system,
including controllers and media, every three or five years, with a
flat maintenance contract. Regardless of the level of technology
refresh that customers choose, they will be able to eliminate
future capital expenditures by absorbing the cost into operating
expenditure budget instead.
All Tegile arrays are
built on top of the patented IntelliFlashTM architecture, which
future-proofs businesses' investment by offering faster and more
cost-effective media types as they become readily available.
Combined with Lifetime Storage, this allows customers to benefit
from emerging storage technologies and advancements, including new
processing speeds, IO transport technology, and other media
enhancements like Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe), which is slated
for release later this year.
"As a school district
that prides ourselves on providing a top quality service level for
our students and faculty, our IT department must stay ahead of
the curve when it comes to technological capabilities," said Steve
Ybarra, IT Director at Chandler Unified School District. "Tegile's
Lifetime Storage Controller Refresh Program has let us take advantage
of all the benefits of the most advanced flash storage, and
already, we're looking toward adopting NVMe once it's ready."
Lifetime Storage is well aligned with Tegile IntelliCare, a
comprehensive customer care program that creates a fundamentally more
simple and affordable approach to storage array ownership. Driven by
cloud-based analytics and backed by a team of storage experts,
IntelliCare enables storage administrators to quickly and easily
monitor the health, performance and usage of their Tegile storage
arrays, predict future requirements, and detect problems before
they develop into component and system failures.
Businesses can also combine their Lifetime Storage program with Tegile
IntelliPay, Tegile's revolutionary consumption-based billing method
that provides public cloud-like pricing in private data centers.
Combined with Tegile's inline deduplication and compression
technology, IntelliPay measures storage consumption after these
data reduction technologies to reduce data footprints, leading
directly to cost savings for enterprises. Customers that move to a
consumption-based billing model and avoid future capital outlays
can deliver a public cloud-like economic model to their business
while leveraging all of the benefits of on premises IT.
