Connectria Teams with Tegile Systems [Professional Services Close - Up](Professional Services Close - Up Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Connectria Hosting, a provider of cloud, managed and custom hosting solutions, announced a partnership with Tegile Systems to improve the storage capacity, efficiency and performance of its Citrix and VDI offerings. According to a release, Connectria needed a storage solution that could complement its existing network architecture while addressing the long-term capacity, performance and scalability requirements demanded of its virtualization and cloud computing customers. Connectria said it turned to Tegile Systems during a proof-of- concept VDI implementation for a large healthcare company when the number of virtual machines introduced began to tax their existing storage infrastructure and needed to be expanded. By swapping out the existing storage for new-generation Tegile Zebi hybrid storage arrays, Connectria was able to manage the fluid requirements of the healthcare provider's VDI environment easier, faster and more reliably at a vastly reduced cost compared to other arrays. "We offer a wide range of services to SMBs and Enterprises along with customized HIPAA-compliant solutions to healthcare and dental customers designed to safely and securely store protected information," said Rusty Putzler, Vice President of Engineering at Connectria. "When we realized that we needed a different class of storage to satisfy the higher capacity and higher growth requirements of a VDI infrastructure at one of our healthcare customers, we turned to Tegile's Zebi arrays to fulfill that tactical need. With inline deduplication of 87 percent and 33 percent compression ratios, Tegile has provided us with outstanding performance at a cost per terabyte that is perfectly geared towards virtualized environments." "Whether it is cloud storage for SMBs, virtual desktop infrastructures for a particular vertical market like healthcare or business-critical databases in some of the world's most-demanding environments, Tegile Zebi Storage Arrays are up to the challenge of resolving growth issues and providing flash-grade performance without the cost of all flash arrays or legacy arrays," said Rob Commins, vice president of marketing, Tegile Systems. "We are pleased to work with Connectria as part of their hosting services to bring their customers the capacity, performance and cost effectiveness they need without the investment and management challenges required from legacy equipment."
