During the last 12 months we have spent time looking into storage vendor propositions and I have to say we have taken a real shine to the Tintri value proposition. As a technology provider we have to ensure that every vendor we onboard delivers the following values and Tintri definitely fit these.
Technical value
Commercial value
Emotional value
Keeping our customers up to date with the latest goings on at our vendors is key to successful relationships and over the next few months you will start to see a lot of news coming from us regarding Tintri, this includes an interview with the Vice President of Sales Mark Walsh where we discuss how Tintri have developed their business proposition over the last 12 months.
In preparation for what is to come I thought I would share a recent press release following Tintri's 10th anniversary, launched at VMworld back at the end of August.
Celebrating its 10th Anniversary, Tintri Introduces 10 Unique Features Delivering AI-Driven Autonomous Data Services and Ease-of-Use in Hybrid Cloud Ecosystems
SAN FRANCISCO (VMWare Explore Booth #1604)– Aug. 29, 2022 – Tintri®, a DDN® subsidiary and the leading provider of auto adaptive, workload intelligent platforms, is celebrating its 10th anniversary of product availability with the “neXt” evolution of Tintri’s VMstore® series. Expanding on its purpose-built, auto adaptive VMstore platform, Tintri’s new Virtual Series incorporates 10 unique features that comprise the company’s Platform as a Service (PaaS) approach. The Virtual Series offers autonomous QOS, predictive analytics, distributed data services, and ease-of-use in a robust and efficient virtual data workload management platform for hybrid cloud ecosystems.
As businesses continue to adapt to the massive influx of data and mobile workforces, there is a critical need to implement a more flexible and interconnected IT ecosystem to manage the size and complexity of applications. IT departments must not only manage code updates and new features for these applications, but also the underlying infrastructure which affects workflows while protecting data from being compromised due to ransomware and other impacts. Tintri has seen the movement toward containerization in hybrid IT environments and has adapted its intelligent analytics to enhance locality, security and predictive failure and recovery capabilities.
“We are in close collaboration with our customers and partners and understand the challenges they continue to face as data and application implementation becomes more distributed,” said Phil Trickovic, SVP of Revenue, Tintri. “Because of our unique architecture meant specifically for virtual data sets, we are perfectly positioned to meet these new customer challenges and bring tremendous value by rapidly advancing the technology needed to address these new industry dynamics. By decoupling Tintri’s AI-powered software from our hardware platform, VMstore customers can now deploy the efficient, transparent and easy-to-use data management platform they’re accustomed to with Tintri.”
Businesses have consistently turned to Tintri for ease of use, predictable performance and stable service. Customers rely on Tintri to help reduce overhead costs and resources required to manage IT operations, particularly when integrating a cloud strategy. Tintri enables customers to focus on strengthening business operations, leveraging the platform’s intelligence to stay ahead of the curve. Tintri VMstore is purpose-built for virtualized workloads and is now taking this same approach to develop the virtual version of VMstore technology, opening the door to new levels of infrastructure efficiency in hybrid cloud ecosystems.
Tintri Virtual Series Features
Tintri’s neXt data management platform will consist of a new Virtual Series solution that enables 10 technology features to lower cost and complexity and gain backup and disaster recovery efficiencies, with the option to deploy and transfer within both on-prem and cloud environments.

“The new Virtual Series platform and the 10 neXt feature additions were designed to address the shift we have seen in the IT market over the last 3-5 years,” said Brock Mowry, Tintri’s CTO. “Because of VMstore’s unique ability to see and manage virtual workloads, these neXt features give users a complete view into their hybrid cloud needs. Both performance and data protection tie back to Tintri’s Analytics platform allowing users to design the infrastructure, both cloud and on-prem to best serve the organization’s entire application needs.”
Tintri Virtual Series Availability & Beta Program
The 10 Virtual Series features will roll out over the next 15 months. Tintri Data Security Services and Tanzu Integration are both available today to existing VMstore customers. For more information, contact a member of the Simoda team today.
