Tintri
by DDN,
the provider of intelligent infrastructure for virtualized environments today introduced the
NexentaStor VSA for Tintri, the first collaboration between Nexenta and Tintri
in the DDN family of brands. This optimized virtualized storage appliance (VSA)
option allows existing customers the choice of leveraging their Tintri VMstore
supporting virtualization with added file services to consolidate and better manage
business data.
The NexentaStor VSA for
Tintri allows users a different choice to expand beyond initial workloads,
broadening use for home directories, user profiles and collaboration in
departments. This solution improves consolidated file sharing and remote
office, branch office (ROBO) data on intelligent infrastructure, taking
advantage of Tintri capabilities that simplify management, resulting in time
and monetary savings.
"Infrastructure professionals are
under tremendous pressure to not only keep up with rapidly growing data, but to
also ensure that data is accessible and protected," said Henry Baltazar,
research vice president - Infrastructure, 451 Research. "The NexentaStor VSA
for Tintri will allow customers to fully leverage their existing Tintri systems
while obtaining the added value of core file sharing services, which are
necessary to meet the collaboration requirements of clients."
The NexentaStor VSA for Tintri is
optimized to leverage the data reduction efficiencies and performance optimization
inherent when storing data on Tintri infrastructure. Easily deployable, the
NexentaStor VSA for Tintri is built on a matured stack providing both NFS and
SMB/CIFS file services for Windows and Mac clients. The VSA is managed via the
Flex or HTML5 VMware vCenter plugins, and can be used with the NexentaStor High
Availability plugin designed for minimal downtime and automated failover of
file services in the event of a VM or node failure.
"Tintri by DDN has
long been an innovator of technology designed specifically for virtualization,
using our intelligent infrastructure to provide a unique experience. The
NexentaStor VSA for Tintri underscores our vision to offer new value and
capabilities in virtualized environments," said Tom Ellery, general manager,
Tintri by DDN. "As part of the DDN family of brands, we will continue to extend
our technology to deliver automation and analytics up the stack, and add
complementary solutions with the simplicity and scale that our customers are
fanatical about."
