CT4 Chooses Tintri Smart Storage for its Desktop-as-a-Service Cloud Solution
Announcement posted by Mave 16 Oct 2014
SYDNEY, Australia – October 16, 2014 – Tintri, the leading producer of application-aware smart storage for virtualisation and cloud environments, today announced that CT4, a leading global business technology solutions provider based in Australia, has chosen Tintri smart storage for its innovative Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) ‘POD’ solution.
Tintri solved the performance and complexity issues CT4 previously encountered with traditional storage by delivering plug and play simplicity with VM-level data management which delivers predictable performance, lowest cost per VM, instant performance bottleneck visualisation, and deep integration with VMware.
Built on a platform that includes Tintri VMstore and VMware Horizon DaaS, the CT4 DaaS ‘POD’ is optimised for DaaS deployments ranging from 10 to 5000 concurrent sessions or desktops. Its modular, plug-and-play design reduces cost and complexity for customers looking to deploy VDI-style solutions. The POD offering is available as a hosted cloud service as well as an on-premises solution deployed in enterprise data centres.
“The CT4 POD is a robust DaaS and VDI solution that delivers unprecedented efficiencies and simplicity for customers,” said Dan Pearson, chief technology officer of CT4. “We didn’t realise how easy and smart Tintri storage was until we ran the proof of concept. We were literally trouble shooting in minutes compared to hours or days with other storage products. Tintri has eliminated complexity, improved performance,increased automation and driven down support requirements reducing overall cost for our clients.”
CT4’s POD is gaining traction across Asia Pacific and EMEA, as well with a number of utility, telecommunications and healthcare companies in Australia. Customer deployments have included desktop replacement as well as Disaster Recovery (DR) and VDI for remote users, contractors and model users. CT4 PODs also have the ability to be combined with POPs (Points of Presence) to support business’s scaling IT requirements.
“IT organisations are under pressure to reduce cost and increase efficiency due to CAPEX and OPEX pressure. Many organisations are also broadcasting a “Cloud First” strategy as they seek alternatives to traditional on-premises IT to deliver agile and on demand business services to employees,” said Peter Molloy, vice president of Tintri for Asia Pacific. “The CT4 POD offering not only provides a simple, efficient and flexible DaaS service to enterprises, but also does so in a way that customers can choose the best delivery model that suits their needs.”
Highly virtualised DaaS environments require agility to easily deploy and tear down virtual machines as needed, on demand, without much manual intervention or additional storage provisioning. Tintri smart storage is equipped with self-service, end-to-end VM-level automation, role-based account control, and multi-hypervisor support that provides VM-level management across hypervisors.
