Connectria Hosting Links with Tegile Systems [Health & Beauty Close - Up](Health & Beauty Close - Up Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Connectria Hosting, a global provider of cloud, managed and custom hosting solutions, announced a partnership with Tegile Systems to affect the storage capacity, efficiency and performance of its Citrix and VDI offerings. In a release, the Company said that with four data centers throughout the U.S. and more than 1,000 clients worldwide, it provides hosting solutions that work to solve the business problems of its customers. Connectria said that it hosts the widest range of cloud technologies in the industry for customers of all sizes. With the success and growth of its cloud hosting services, 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 turned to Tegile Systems during a proof-of-concept VDI implementation for a healthcare company when the number of virtual machines introduced began to tax their existing storage infrastructure and needed to be expanded. "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." Connectria Hosting said Tegile Zebi arrays leverage the performance of SSD and the low cost per TB of high capacity disk drives to deliver up to seven times the performance and up to 75 percent less capacity required than legacy arrays. Zebi hybrid arrays combine Tegile's patent-pending MASS technology with high performance DRAM, solid state flash, Intel Xeon processors and high speed Ethernet or Fibre Channel, resulting in higher capacity and significantly higher performance. Maximizing capacity, on-the-fly de- duplication and data compression enable more hosted virtual desktops for a lower investment in storage and network infrastructure. "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."
