Tintri, the leading producer of smart storage for virtualisation and cloud environments, has announced that it has become a Citrix Ready Premier-level member. Tintri VMstore is verified as Citrix Ready for Citrix XenDesktop versions 7, 7.1 and 7.5. Tintri completed a rigorous verification process to ensure compatibility with XenDesktop providing confidence in joint solution compatibility.
The Citrix Ready programme helps customers identify third-party solutions that are recommended to enhance virtualisation, networking and cloud computing solutions from Citrix Systems. The programme makes it easy for customers to identify complementary products and solutions that can enhance Citrix environments.
Tintri VMstore operates at the VM-level and addresses the mismatch between storage and virtualisation to create an intelligent solution to help Citrix customers focus on XenDesktop and other business applications, instead of the underlying storage infrastructure. The VM-level visibility identifies performance bottlenecks across the entire virtual infrastructure instantaneously.
Customers can run virtualised desktop and server VMs on the same Tintri VMstore without special tuning. With the ability to support up to 2 000 VMs with high performance and consistent sub-millisecond latency on a single system, Tintri supports one of the highest VM densities in the industry. Tintri customers have deployed 200 000 VMs on Tintri storage systems.
“We are pleased to have Tintri join us as a Premier-level member in the Citrix Ready program,” says a spokesperson at Citrix Systems.
“Citrix Ready makes it easier for customers to select the most suitable virtualisation infrastructure products for their specific needs. By taking part in our programme, Tintri has enabled its customers to obtain the highest quality user experience available today, and the simplest means for making an informed product purchasing selection.
“As a member of the Citrix Ready programme, we are able to offer customers intelligent solutions that combine our Tintri smart storage with the XenDesktop product,” says Yael Zheng, chief marketing officer, Tintri. “VMstore clearly demonstrates our plans to work closely with trusted partners, through the Citrix Ready partner ecosystem, in order to provide the highest quality experience for our customers.”
