Tintri Announces Storage Appliance for Virtualized Environments
Tintri, a new startup by VMware's former head of R&D is developing appliances aimed specifically at handling storage in virtualized environments. As noted in this report on CRN, Kieran Harty, co-founder and CEO of Tintri, said he founded the Mountain View, Calif.-based company in 2008 after seeing the cost of connecting storage to virtualized environments.
"Tintri's response was to build an appliance which can handle hundreds of virtual machines and their storage in a single device while making that device seem like a simple direct-attached storage array.
"That appliance, the VMstore, includes about 1 TB of Flash memory and 16 1-TB SATA hard drives with built-in compression and deduplication technology and an administration console which hides the complexity of attaching virtual machines to storage."
