Tegile Systems

What Tegile Systems does

Tintri, operating under the Tegile Systems firmographic record, provides workload-aware flash storage and data management solutions purpose-built for virtualized and containerized environments since 2011. The company's core platform, VMstore, manages data at the VM and container level rather than at the traditional block, LUN, or volume level, delivering autonomous operations, per-workload Quality of Service guarantees, sub-millisecond latency, and built-in ML-driven analytics that forecast capacity and compute up to 18 months ahead. The product portfolio spans all-flash hardware (VMstore T7000 and T7200/T7290 Series), the software suite (SyncVM, ReplicateVM, SecureVM, Cloud Connector, SQL-Integrated Storage), centralized management via Tintri Global Center, and cloud offerings including Tintri Cloud Platform (managed IaaS/DRaaS) and Tintri Cloud Engine (hardware-software decoupled hybrid cloud).

Revenue is generated through a mix of hardware sales, recurring software subscriptions included with VMstore systems, support and maintenance contracts, and the newer managed cloud services revenue stream. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales with a global channel partner programme, targeting healthcare, financial services, government, education, and pharmaceutical verticals, with notable customers including AMD, Lincoln Financial Group, Boingo Wireless, Johns Hopkins, and the US Marine Corps. The company has positioned around VMware migration via its Platform9 partnership and is extending into Kubernetes, DevOps, and AI workload segments through the Purpose-Built AI Alliance and integrations with OpenTelemetry and CSI drivers.

Direct peers

• Pure Storage: Direct competitor in all-flash enterprise storage arrays serving VMware and database workloads. Competes head-to-head on workload performance, scale-out architecture, and AI-driven management — the same category where Tintri positions VMstore.
• NetApp: Hybrid and all-flash enterprise storage vendor with strong presence in VMware-centric data centers. Competes directly with VMstore in primary storage for virtualization, databases, and VDI workloads across Tintri's target customer segments.
• Dell EMC (PowerStore): Enterprise storage arrays (PowerStore, PowerMax) targeting the same virtualization and database use cases as Tintri. Bundled into broader Dell server and storage deals, making it a frequent incumbent that Tintri must displace.
• HPE (Nimble Storage / Primera): HPE Nimble and Primera/Toroidal all-flash arrays compete with VMstore in enterprise and mid-market segments, especially for VMware, SQL Server, and VDI workloads. Sells via similar channel-driven enterprise motion.
• Hitachi Vantara (VSP): Hitachi's VSP enterprise storage portfolio targets the same primary storage workloads (virtualization, databases, mission-critical apps). Comparable scale-out architecture and replicated services for enterprise data centers.

Emerging players

• VAST Data: Modern scale-out all-flash platform with AI/ML and analytics-native architecture aimed at enterprise and HPC workloads. Competes with Tintri for AI/analytics-adjacent primary storage use cases at larger scale.
• Infinidat: Enterprise hybrid and all-flash storage offering with InfiniBox and InfiniAF platforms for virtualization, database, and VDI workloads. Similar enterprise positioning and capacity scale to VMstore.
• Qumulo: File-first enterprise storage focused on unstructured data, with overlap into VM/database-adjacent use cases. A different primary use case (file vs VM-aware block) but competes for the same enterprise data center budget.

Broad incumbents

• IBM FlashSystem: IBM's broad enterprise storage portfolio targeting mainframe, virtualization, and database workloads. Competes with VMstore via established enterprise contracts and bundled hardware/services deals.
• Nutanix: Hyperconverged infrastructure platform that absorbs storage into compute tiers, competing with VMstore for VMware and virtualization-primary use cases via bundled HCI rather than dedicated arrays.
