Tegile becomes the second vendor to announce an all-flash version around the generation of NVMe drives that is about to ship, with massive performance and latency improvements over existing product.
NVMe technology priced for the mass market is very new, and Tegile thinks it has a differentiation by integrating this capability within its flagship array, rather than having it as a separate platform.
The company says that performance, density and memory upgrades will make things like facial recognition of individual customers in retail stores a reality.
Tegile says its new scale-out platform, with flash prices starting at about 50 cents/GB, will make on-prem flash cheaper than the public cloud and thus give channel partners a powerful weapon.
Tegile’s IntelliFlash HD storage array uses Tegile’s hybrid architecture, but with two types of flash, one layer being very dense and the other very fast. Tegile also announced a new entry level all-flash array, the T3550.
Ingram sees Tegile’s Zebi hybrid storage arrays as being a particularly strong play in Canada, and looks to replicate the success Ingram has had with Tegile in the U.S. through this Canadian deal.
