5. • Improve IT Agility with existing staff
− Customer needs change frequently & sometimes at the last minute
− Customer requirement changes could have a significant IT impact
• Resolve Infrastructure Challenges Around Our Private Cloud
− Slow & cumbersome process to provision storage for 100s or 1000s of VMs
− Unpredictable performance as scale increased impacted customer experience
− Large storage footprint to support a private cloud with sub-optimal storage performance
− Limited insight into VM and storage statistics
• Hinders our ability to provide customer feedback
− Slow backup & recovery process that consumed significant storage

Before
After
With Tintri
Add 60 VMs to environment  Wait 6-8 Hours
Large deployments took days to provision
Unpredictable performance led to customer issues
Cumbersome management of LUNS/Volumes
Impossible to backup
New VM’s provisioned in seconds  no waiting
Large clouds deployed in minutes instead of days
Predictable flash performance for all VM’s
Complete elimination of storage management
Built in VM level backup, restore and replication
The Problem: Standing up new environments and deploying
hundreds to thousands of VM’s.

8. Proven, Predictable, Performance

Instantly scales from thousands to hundreds of
thousands of IOPS, with no storage configuration
Flash performance automatically
allocated to each VM
Tintri shows performance data making it possible to plan for
new workloads. Other storage solutions have no insight into
performance reserves making planning impossible.
“It used to take as long as two weeks to roll out
hundreds of VMs for new customer events.
With Tintri, it only takes minutes. Plus, the
additional VMs don’t strain the system’s ability
to deliver high performance once provisioned.
Tintri’s speed in provisioning is a huge strategic
advantage.”
—Senior Program Manager, DoD Cyber Range

9. Saving time through VM Level Management

VM’s are managed instead of LUN’s and volumes. Managing
Tintri is just like managing VM’s in vSphere.
Tintri shows every VM’s latency across the entire datacenter-server, network
and storage. Troubleshooting takes seconds instead of hours, days or even weeks.
Tintri completely
eliminates the need to
manage storage. Instead,
VM’s are managed just
as they are within
VMware. Furthermore,
Tintri provides visibility
across the entire
datacenter to address
network and host issues.

10. Storage Density With Real Benefits

Effective Capacity: 200 TB
# of VMs: 5,000
IOPS: 30,000
Before Tintri After Tintri
2x reduction in
storage footprint
4x the number of
VMs
25:1 reduction in
power Effective Capacity: ~540TB
# of VMs: up to 24,000
IOPS: 1,000,000 +

11. • Fast & efficient protection and replication - VM-level vs. VOL or LUN level
• Smaller storage footprint at data center 2
• Reliable disaster recovery – Easy to test – Easy to recover to production
Better Backup & Recovery – For Customers

12. Storage Simplicity Anybody Can Use
© 2014 Tintri Inc. 12
Todays Storage isn't built for VM’s
• VM’s are treated the same as all files
• Complex management takes time and wastes money
• Performance is unreliable and difficult to troubleshoot
• No native support for virtualization
• Native support for VM’s
• Complete elimination of storage management
• VM level management and monitoring
• Complete storage redesign for virtualization
Tintri is Built for VM’s

13. • Functionality
− Installation so easy an 8 yr old can do it
− Software matters - all-flash arrays don’t necessarily perform better for virtualized workloads
• Tintri Ease of Use
− Simplicity is key
− Entire event staff must understand solution to properly support our customers
• Tintri Performance
− Night and Day difference that customers immediately noticed
• Tintri Support
− “On the ball”
