In addition to their Tintri Global Center 4.0 release, Tintri by DDN announces new staff and resource additions, as they continue their rebuild from the collapse that preceded their being purchased by DDN in September.
DataDirect Networks, which has been more of a Big Data than enterprise storage player, makes an enterprise storage play by bidding for the distressed assets of Tintri, which has always had interesting tech, but which got squeezed in a tight storage market.
The Tintri collaboration provides a packaged replication service for higher tier disaster recovery needs. It will be available through Neverfail partners, and will likely be able to be sold by Tintri partners too.
Following the announcement of their new high-end enterprise cloud platform earlier this month, Tintri now announces availability of a much smaller 10 TB system, aimed at smaller deployments within – and quite possibly outside – the enterprise.
A distinct feature of the new Tintri series is the ability to do non-disruptive drive-by-drive expansion, since most of the series configurations ship with only partly populated boxes.
The new enhancements make multiple software-based upgrades to the Tintri platform.
Tintri is looking to increase the number of go-to cloud partners in a cloud business the company views as increasingly strategic.
The VM-aware storage vendor also announced new predictive analytics capabilities, nine new all-flash model options, and two new cloud offerings.
Tintri makes several significant changes to its channel program reflecting its broader solution range and partner base, and adds Promark to Arrow for its North American distribution.
Permabit’s SANblox appliance is the software vendor’s first hardware product, requested by the big storage OEMs to help them fend off competition from the new hyperscale vendors.
Tintri expands its channel program, introduces new mobile app for partners.
