5 Top 5 Reasonsto Retire YourNetApp Filer

You’ve been a loyal NetApp customer for years, but now things are different. The cost and

complexity of NetApp’s c-DOT transition is forcing everyone to consider alternatives. Now

is your chance to retire your NetApp filer and switch to a faster, more affordable and more

reliable storage solution. Tegile Intelligent Flash Arrays™ are built from the ground up to

deliver consistently high performance and low latency at a cost that’s on par with a

NetApp expansion shelf or controller refresh. And each array includes a robust suite of

enterprise software features — at no extra charge. You get all-flash AND hybrid, inline

deduplication AND compression, block AND file protocol support — all in the world’s

most intelligent flash array.

Future-Proof Your Storage InvestmentTegile arrays come in both all-flash and hybrid configurations, yet they all use the same modern architecture. This gives you unprecedented flexibility that can really pay off. Deploy an all-flash system today. You can always add capacity in the form of hard disks and flash drives as your environment grows. You can also avoid a forklift upgrade and disruptive data migration with free storage controllers after Year 5, available through our IntelliCare™ Flash Five Guarantee.*

Get Unified Storage with VM-Level VisibilityLike NetApp filers, Tegile arrays natively support both block (SAN) and file (NAS) protocols concurrently, enabling you to eliminate data silos and consolidate all your workloads on a single array. What makes us different, though, is that our arrays are also virtualization-aware. Get greater visibility into what storage resources are used by each VM. Tegile arrays enable you to track throughput, latency, and IOPS on a per-VM basis. Armed with these insights, you can quickly identify and resolve any performance-related issues that may arise, accurately forecast long-term capacity requirements, and ensure the long-term health of your virtual environment.

You Won’t Get Nickel & DimedAt Tegile, we don’t think you should get charged a licensing fee for the capacity you use. Nor do we believe you should get charged extra to use the software features that come with your storage array. And we definitely don’t think any vendor should charge their customers an obscene amount when they want to extend their support and maintenance. Tegile all-flash and hybrid arrays feature high-density flash drives as well as inline deduplication and compression, enabling you to reduce your storage footprint by up to 90%. We also offer all-inclusive software licensing. With every Tegile array you get IntelliFlash flash management, advanced data services, multi-protocol support, and robust management capabilities. You also can get five years of flat support pricing with our IntelliCare Flash Five Guarantee.*

Affordable Disaster RecoveryTegile is the only next-generation flash storage vendor that enables you to natively replicate between its all-flash and hybrid arrays. Deploy a high-performance all-flash array for your mission-critical applications, keep that data protected by taking regular VM-consistent and application-consistent snapshots for instantaneous local backup and archive. Then replicate that data to an offsite hybrid array for efficient and affordable disaster recovery.

Certified for the Widest Range of Database ApplicationsTo simplify deployment and eliminate operational risk, we work closely with our software partners to ensure our flash storage arrays are optimized to work with the latest database applications. Tegile arrays are Microsoft certified for SQL Server 2014 and SQL Server 2012. They are also certified for Oracle VM and validated to work within an Oracle Linux environment in both single-instance and Oracle RAC deployments. What’s more, we jointly publish reference architectures to help you get started.
