Tintri has always prided itself on making enterprise storage that’s simple and intuitive. For many of our customers, we’ve reduced the time needed to manage storage from hours to minutes per week, and we’ve enabled almost every task to be performed remotely via Tintri Global Center (TGC). Now with the introduction of the T1000 and EC6000 Series all-flash arrays, we’ve gone a step further and added a remote management capability that allows you to perform initial setup and power management without necessitating direct physical access to a storage system by a trained administrator.
Set up, power on, and power off remotely
One of the biggest challenges for enterprise IT teams is setting up and managing infrastructure at remote locations like branch offices, distribution centers, and production facilities. There are always a few tasks that require someone with administrator skills to gain physical access to the hardware, but many remote locations don’t have anyone with the necessary expertise.
For example, say you’re deploying new storage systems at a dozen retail locations. In the past, you might have sent an administrator out to each location to perform the initial out-of-box setup. That’s expensive, inefficient, and wastes a lot of valuable admin time.
Now, with Tintri remote management, a trained administrator can perform all out-of-box setup tasks remotely. (You still need someone onsite to rack and stack the storage.) You can also use remote management to initiate power cycling and power up operations.
