Tintri Delivers Improved Storage Performance for ParAccel

Tintri, Inc. announced that ParAccel,
an Actian Corporation company, and an analytic
platform provider, has deployed Tintri VMstore to support its test and
development environment.

Tintri VM-aware storage has helped ParAccel to improve performance in its virtualized
test and development environment, slashing database latency by 98%.

Prior to deploying Tintri, ParAccel found that virtualization was impacting
storage performance and could not keep up with extreme processing speed of its
analytic platform during testing operations. As a result of the poor VM storage
performance, developers experienced high and unpredictable latency in their
test and development environment, hampering productivity.

After evaluating several alternative solutions, ParAccel deemed Tintri VM-aware
storage the fit and a cost-effective solution to support
their database test and development environment. The flash performance of
Tintri allowed ParAccel to reduce storage latency. Additionally, ParAccel has
been able to reduce their datacenter footprint for storage by 90%.

"Tintri provides a compelling,
high-performance, small-footprint storage solution for our demanding
test-and-development virtual environment," said Mike Torgersen, VP of
IT, ParAccel. "Compared to our
previous storage, Tintri VMstore can run 10 times the VMs in less than a tenth
of the data center footprint, and reduce latency by 98% at the same time. They
helped us realize a fundamental goal of virtualization: consolidating workloads
and increasing resource utilization, both on hosts and on storage."

"Prior to Tintri, ParAccel was a
good example of the fundamental mismatch that exists between legacy storage and
virtualized infrastructure," said Geoff Stedman, Tintri VP of
marketing. "Performance issues are a
major obstacle to virtualizing analytic applications, especially in large scale
test-and-development environments. With our FlashFirst architecture, Tintri
VM-aware storage is specifically built to deliver the performance needed in
virtual environments, especially for test-and-development environments limited
by legacy storage."
