Tintri for Hyper-V Unveiled 

Tintri today announced the industry’s first storage with VM-level data management support for multi-hypervisor platforms. Designed from the ground up for virtualized environments, Tintri VMstore has powered more than 100,000 VMs running Microsoft SQL Server, Exchange, SharePoint, SAP and many other business critical databases, enterprise applications, VDI environments and private cloud deployments. Many of these organizations have already incorporated multi-hypervisor usage into their environment. Market research firm IDC’s recent survey of 202 companies worldwide with 1000 or more employees reports that 59 percent of the respondents were using more than one hypervisor.

With native Microsoft Server Message Block (SMB) 3.0 implementation purpose built for supporting Hyper-V and FlashFirst design, Tintri is optimized for running enterprise applications on Hyper-V with superior performance and reliability. Through native integration with Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) and Hyper-V Manager, Tintri offers VM-level visibility and control, which offers millions of Microsoft customers a dramatically simplified experience to virtualize business-critical Microsoft enterprise applications and desktops and accelerates private cloud deployments.

“Imagine running hundreds of mixed workloads – SQL Server, Exchange, SharePoint, VDI and development and test – concurrently on a single Tintri VMstore. Imagine simultaneously deploying Hyper-V and other hypervisors on a single VMstore and being able to move VMs between them as needed. Tintri is fundamentally changing how storage works with the industry’s first and only smart storage that sees, learns and adapts,. Simplicity and transparency replace complexity and opacity, creating a world where application-aware, responsive storage seamlessly supports dynamic application environments,” said Ken Klein, Chairman and CEO at Tintri.

Tintri for Hyper-V enables customers to:

• Set-up in less than ten minutes. Administrators manage virtual machines and vDisks instead of LUNs and volumes—eliminating any complex configuration or ongoing tuning.
• Seamlessly scale virtualized environments from tens of VMs to thousands of VMs without additional storage provisioning.
• Instantly identify performance hot spots at the hypervisor, network and storage levels with comprehensive end-to-end performance and bottleneck visualization at each layer.
• Protect individual VMs with customizable policies with space and performance efficient snapshots.
• Create hundreds of high performance, zero-space VM clones for speeding up VM provisioning for VDI and development and test workloads.
• Deploy affordable per-VM data protection and disaster recovery with WAN-efficient replication, reducing WAN bandwidth usage by as much as 95 percent with global deduplication and compression.
