Tintri VMstore Drives Capacity and Capex “Savings of Up to 4,100%” Across Enterprise Data Centers

Tintri by DDN, Inc. completed an analysis of thousands of its Tintri VMstore customer deployments in data-intensive industries, including financial services, manufacturing, telco, and healthcare.

Customers demonstrated that mid-range 50TB VMstore systems are able to deliver over 2PB of effective capacity in typical enterprise IT production environments – representing a data reduction savings of up to 41x.

These efficiencies, captured by the Tintri Analytics platform, have enabled customers to replace many racks of costly, difficult-to-manage storage equipment with a single VMstore 2RU system, slashing data center footprints, eliminating management complexity and saving hundreds of thousands of dollars.

“Across Tintri and DDN divisions we believe that Intelligent Infrastructure is essential for enterprises’ current and future IT success. With Tintri VMstore systems and the Tintri Analytics platform – both powered by the industry’s most advanced AI –  we are delivering massive data reduction savings to our customers today while future-proofing their IT strategy,” said Alex Bouzari, CEO and co-founder, DDN. “From financial services to genomics, manufacturing to automotics, academia to government, customers are experiencing the unmatched simplicity and efficiency- and validating the ROI benefits – that we bring to their operations.“

“VMstore is the most form-fitting storage that I have ever come across. Imagine taking a full rack of legacy storage and consolidating 400TB into 4 rack units, so you use 10% of the footprint but get 50% performance,” said Steve Bartholomew, director, IT global architecture, Avaya, Inc.

VMstore is renowned for its autonomous administrative capabilities, which can reduce storage operating expenses by up to 95%. However it also provides significant Capex savings with a sophisticated AI-managed architecture that supports much larger data sets than traditional LUN-based storage architectures. This design enables more data to be de-duped and at higher ratios – simplifying deployment and scaling, and eliminating the unused, wasted resources prevalent with most storage systems.

Tintri Analytics is a cloud-based SaaS offering that complements VMstore systems with ML and predictive analytics. Storage capacity and performance, as well as compute and memory requirements can be precisely projected up to 18 months in advance across multiple systems, for each application, database and VM.

Sophisticated modeling profiles applications, workload types and storage needs without over-provisioning, greatly boosting customer efficiencies and ROI.
