Tegile Launches "Don't Overpay for Storage" Promotion to Protect University IT Budgets

NEWARK, Calif., May 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Tegile Systems, a leading provider of hybrid storage arrays for virtualized server and virtual desktop environments, today announced an initiative to help colleges and universities protect their strained IT budgets while boosting their scholarship funds with its new "Don't Overpay for Storage" promotion. Under the program, Tegile will contribute $2,500 to a college's scholarship fund for every Zebi™ hybrid array purchased by a college or University through June 30, 2013.

The college scholarship promotion is the latest piece in Tegile's crusade to prevent schools from wasting limited budget dollars for storage performance they don't need to meet their application workloads. According to Tegile, the performance benefits of all-Flash arrays are often oversold with customers paying exorbitant prices for unnecessary IOPS.

Tegile is the leader in providing hybrid storage arrays to higher education institutions in the United States for video surveillance, server consolidation, Virtual Desktop Infrastructure and SQL database optimization applications. The company's Zebi arrays are powering VDI installations throughout the country, including Washington and Lee University in Virginia, Ventura and Mira Costa community colleges in California and a 7,000-desktop deployment at the University of the Pacific.

Tegile is leading the campaign against overpaying for storage with their innovative Zebi hybrid array architecture that delivers a unique data storage trifecta: high performance, high capacity and high reliability at a low cost.  The secret sauce in Tegile's patented technology is a front-end data deduplication and compression engines that reduces the data capacity before it reaches the Flash storage. The result is a radically increased cache hit ratio (both from DRAM level 1 cache and level 2 Flash cache) and effectively increasing the bandwidth within the Zebi array. Additionally, Tegile's Metadata Accelerated Storage System separates out metadata from the data path and stores it exclusively on fast Flash storage to accelerate every storage function, even for data that ends up residing on hard disk storage.

"Tegile is obsessive about universities busting their budgets for storage capacity they don't need to optimize application performance, so we're putting our money where our mouth is," said Rob Commins, Vice President of Marketing at Tegile. "This promotion highlights Tegile's better storage solution with a hybrid array architecture that provides cost-correct storage with the price and performance characteristics precisely matched to the college's database acceleration and virtualization application needs. At the same time Tegile is contributing to educating the next generation of technology innovators so we see this as a win-win."
