The unified platform enables performance levels and efficiencies that provide the firm’s customers with additional cost savings, industry-leading quality and increased economic value – across an expanded portfolio of NVMe and hybrid systems that deliver autonomous operations and accelerated responsiveness. Leveraging DDN’s engineering expertise in building efficient performance storage, the unified platform provides a resilient foundation for Tintri to further enhance its AI-enabled solutions with innovations that enhance operational efficiency and deliver real-time and predictive analytics for virtualized and non-virtualized environments.

“DDN and the Tintri Enterprise division continue to evolve the firm’s portfolio into a more integrated offering that bears benefits for both customers and the vendor themselves,” said Eric Burgener, research VP, infrastructure systems, platforms and technologies group, IDC. “Moving to a common hardware platform for both their At Scale and Enterprise business units leverages economies of scale in engineering, and will offer reliability, manageability and time to market advantages with new releases for customers.“

The company’s channel partners can now also offer solutions built on the same hardware platform as solutions from DDN, which is ranked number one in technical execution and innovation among storage vendors. AI and HPC technology firms rely on DDN solutions for their scalability, reliability and efficiency, including companies like Nvidia Corp., which uses DDN storage to support the largest AI and HPC in the US.

“Our unified storage platform is a powerful step in the execution of our Intelligent Infrastructure strategy, which combines the best of DDN and Tintri technologies and delivers leading innovations and cost-efficiency to our customers,” said Tom Ellery, GM and SVP, field operations, Tintri. “Tintri’s vision is to enable enterprises of all sizes, in any industry to leverage Intelligent Infrastructure for automation and intelligent optimization of data growth and complexity. This platform expands the market for Intelligent Infrastructure as our trusted, award-winning technology reaches a broader range of customers and supports a greater number of enterprise use cases.“

The latest additions to the company’s product lines leverage this all-NVMe platform and provide enterprise customers with options that best suit their challenging workloads and complement advanced DDN AI and HPC solutions:

• IntelliFlash H-Series – Scalable NVMe-acclerated hybrid flash systems
  IntelliFlash H-Series systems combine the performance of NVMe with the economics of HDDs for a full-service intelligent storage infrastructure that’s to manage and delivers value. H-Series systems enable multi-petabyte, multiprotocol environments that support virtualized and non-virtualized SAN and NAS workloads. These systems deliver a combination of performance and scalability for enterprise end-user file shares and AI, analytics and HPC workloads – including many used in existing DDN customer environments. The H-Series enables concurrent support for SAN and NAS protocols on a single system for cost-efficient workload consolidation, while incorporating analytics software for faster data insights. These enterprise-grade systems also enable large scale file services without the performance degradation experienced when using other NAS systems.

• VMstore T7000 – NVMe-Based VMStore system leveraging DDN technology
  The T7000 is the latest addition to VMstore, a storage portfolio that delivers operational with AI-driven autonomous operations and advanced analytics. It is ta NVMe-based VMstore system, leveraging DDN’s NVMe technology to provide 30% faster performance than current gen VMstore systems, and designed for demanding environments. The higher density NVMe system also supports more VMs in the same footprint for better cost-efficiency.
