Coming off the announcement of raising $125 million dollars in funding, Tintri has unveiled several new updates and products, including the Tintri VMstoreTM T5000 All-Flash series, Tintri OS 4.0, Tintri Global Center (TGC) 2.1 and the Tintri VMstack Converged Infrastructure. The VMstore T5000 is the latest addition to the company’s portfolio of VM-aware storage platforms that offer enterprises and service providers the choice of storage, hypervisor and packaging. It will be powered by Tintri OS 4.0 as well as real time VM-level analytics, allowing customers to easily optimize virtualized workloads across the T5000.

Tintri’s T5000 and T800 are the market’s only solutions to offer real time, VM-level analytics. As a result, customers have the ability to recognize and then act on changes in VM performance and capacity use across their entire infrastructure and multiple hypervisors. These include VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, OpenStack or Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization.

The Tintri VMstore T5000 All-Flash series come in two different models: the VMstore T5060 and T5080. They can store upwards of 5,000 VMs in a 2U form factor and up to 100,000 VMs, 1.4PB of data, and 4 million IOPS in just a single rack. Both systems are specifically designed for very large database farms, analytics workloads, and large persistent virtual desktops that require predictable, high throughput and sub-millisecond latency across their entire multi-terabyte capacity.

The Tintri VMstack Converged Infrastructure is the first VM-aware converged solution, as it grants customers the choice of Hybrid-Flash or All-Flash storage, multiple hypervisors, compute and network. In addition, Tintri VMstack Partners will offer a range of pre-qualified integrated solutions:

Tintri VMstack for Server Virtualization: optimized for server virtualization based on VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V or other Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization sized for typical virtualized server applications.
Tintri VMstack for VDI: optimized for VDI, based on VMware Horizon with View or Citrix XenDesktop running on supported hypervisor platforms, sized for various user counts and concurrent desktop use.
Tintri VMstack for Private Cloud: optimized for private clouds based on VMware vRealize Suite, or OpenStack and sized for large numbers of dynamic workloads with a high rate of change.

Also announced by the company is the latest update to Tintri Global Center (TGC), which manages and provides actionable real-time VM-level analytics for more than 100,000 virtual machines. With version 2.1, Trintri indicates that it will further extend its seamless management and analytics capabilities to mixed Tintri VMstore All-Flash and Hybrid-Flash environments. The company also added that it can effortlessly transfer and retain the same service group settings when a VM is moved to another VMstore.
