Solutions for Workload Consolidation
Storage overprovisioning is over. Hundreds of VMs on each node.
Tintri VMstore lets you consolidate VMs to a single storage layer. It delivers simple, cost-effective performance on a per-VM basis, so you can stop worrying about storage placement for every VM. It automatically delivers performance for every VM as needed, and gives a clear picture of how much performance headroom is left on each node.
Traditionally, providing the right level of infrastructure for virtualized applications requires painstakingly careful planning. Although VMs can be provisioned and moved fairly easily, there are significant implications for the underlying infrastructure — particularly storage. Enterprise IT has to tackle storage placement carefully to make sure each VM gets the performance it needs, often provisioning the data for a single VM across multiple tiers. The most viable solution for many enterprises has been to vastly overprovision storage to limit the risk of performance degradation and the complexity of managing multiple service levels.
With Tintri VMstore, delivering the right level of performance is easy. The Tintri file system automates performance allocation, but administrators can also pin individual VMs or virtual disks to flash to prioritize workloads. Virtualization and storage teams don’t need to waste endless cycles planning for every new set of VMs, working through the minutiae of how to best architect for virtualization.
