Tintri VMstore at a Glance
Tintri is Zero Management Storage™ for Virtualization and Cloud. Built on the industry’s first and leading VM-Aware storage
architecture, Tintri VMstore addresses the mismatch between storage and virtualization. The result is a predictable and efficient
environment that is capable of handling all of your virtualized applications and desktops, and an IT team that is free to focus on
innovation.
This document describes the different technologies and features powering Tintri VMstore grouped into three categories -Storage Intelligence, Infrastructure Insight and VM Control.
Storage Intelligence:
Match virtualization’s capability with intelligent features and functionality that efficiently deliver
performance and density without the complexity
Feature
Functions
Benefit
Storage abstraction at the VM and
vDisk-level
• Presents to the virtualization layer as a single
datastore capable of storing 1,000 VMs
• Improve admin productivity by an order
of magnitude and reduce infrastructure
complexity
• Auto alignment of vDisks
• Setup in less than 8 minutes, and eliminate the
need to manage individual LUNs and volumes
and the mapping of individual VMs and vDisks
to the underlying storage
• Zero manual performance settings and tuning
Flash First Design – storage foundation
• Patented foundation using flash and high
density disks for storing and serving VMs
• Eliminate the need to configure storage
including RAID levels and tiering
• Data reduction in Flash
• Get sub-millisecond responsiveness with over
99% of all IO being serviced out of flash
• High density storage
• Leverage the cost-effectiveness of disks with
the performance of flash
VM-level QoS and performance
allocation
• Automatically monitors and controls IO to
vDisks and VMs with performance QoS &
isolation
• Serve different types of VMs (such as high
performance OLTP databases and latency
sensitive end-user desktops), on a single
VMstore
• Scale to thousands of VMs per VMstore
resulting in greater consolidation
• Eradicate the noisy neighbor problem seen
with other types of storage including flash-only
and hybrid architectures
High Availability design
• High performance dual parity RAID-6 with real
time correction and continuous verification
• Ensure data integrity for business critical
applications
• Active-standby controllers with non-disruptive
upgrades and redundant components
• Increase availability against disk failures
without the inefficiencies of RAID-10
• Stay up and running across software updates
with enterprise class availability
Proactive support
• Phone-home monitoring and reporting
• On-demand support bundle creation
• Get automated alerts with support case
creation and resolution.
• Trigger diagnostic checks for additional peace
of mind as and when needed.

Infrastructure Insight:
Keep virtual environment in top shape with a complete picture of virtual workloads
Feature
Functions
Benefit
VM View
• Global view of all the VMs stored on the
VMstore
• Manage VMs with actionable data – avoid the
complexity associated with underlying storage
such as LUNs and volumes
Performance Insight
• Real time end-to-end view of latency from
guest VMs, vSphere hosts, network, and
storage
• Speed up troubleshooting performance
issues across the infrastructure and pinpoint
problems in minutes versus days and weeks
VMstore Trends
• Maintain historical data for graphical view of
performance
• Understand performance and capacity
trends and simplify planning cycles in shared
environments
Tintri Global Center™
• Virtual appliance to help monitor and control as
many as 32 VMstore systems as one
• Simplify the concept of scaling storage
for virtualization, extending the benefits of
infrastructure insight to multiple systems
VM Control:
Be in control of your VM environment with granular data management and automation
Feature
Functions
Benefit
SnapVM™
• Take VM-granular snapshots at any time or use
customizable schedules
• Protect individual VMs with their own
scheduled or custom policies with efficient,
instantaneous and easy to recover snapshots
for improved RTO and RPO
CloneVM™
• Clone individual VMs either from Tintri or
virtualization tools such as vCenter Server,
VMware Horizon View, and vCloud Director
• Create hundreds of zero-space VM clones
for workloads such as VDI and dev/test
instantaneously – accelerating deployment and
reducing load on the host
• Leverage deep integration with VMware
through VAAI and VCAI to provision new VMs
that are immediately visible in the vCenter
• Clone VMs across vCenter servers to easily
provision large number of VMs between
vCenter instances
ReplicateVM™
• Replicate individual VMs between VMstore
systems with custom protection schedules
• Create VM clones on remote VMstore systems
• Easily protect individual VMs with customized
policies without any upfront planning, complex
setup and administration
• Consume 95% less bandwidth as only
incremental, de-duplicated and compressed
data for individual VMs is sent over the wire
• Create remote VM clones on-demand for easily
deploying thousands of workloads across
multiple VMstore systems or tasks such as
software development and testing
