Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) introduces a new way of managing user environments. VDI allows IT administrators to host and administer user desktops on Virtual Infrastructure in the data center. Users access their desktop using a remote desktop protocol. While sharing similarities with other computing models, VDI offers many new and compelling benefits for increasing manageability, performance, and security of user desktops/PCs.
Choosing the Right VDI Software: VMware Horizon View
The key to success of any VDI initiative is choosing the right virtualization software. VMware Horizon™ Suite, and more specifically VMware Horizon View™, delivers a personalized high fidelity experience for end users across all sessions and devices. It enables higher availability and agility of desktop services unmatched by traditional PCs, while reducing the total cost of desktop ownership by up to 50%. VMware Horizon View end users achieve higher levels of productivity and the freedom to access desktops from more devices and locations.
Tintri: The Proven Storage Solution for VDI
Tintri Zero Management Storage™ was designed to address the mismatch between traditional storage solutions and the demands of virtualized environments. Built on the industry’s only intelligent VM-aware storage architecture, Tintri VMstore has the intelligence to deliver unparalleled performance and efficiency, and end-to-end insights into the storage infrastructure for unmatched VM control. With the high-performing, validated VMware® Horizon View™ and Tintri reference architecture, you can:
Tintri for high IOPS and virtualized platforms.
PTS has been running Tintri in its own environment and has implemented Tintri for some large financial and educational institutions to deal with the high IOPS demands of virtualized environments that you just can’t get with storage architecture that was designed to optimize LUN and block level storage. Tintri is a near “zero” management NFS storage solution built specifically to manage virtual environments for servers, desktops, test development, and production workloads. The file system is built from the ground up, allowing you to solve a lot of the complexities and inefficiencies traditional storage brings to the table.
What Tintri offers and how Tintri is different:
Tintri’s claims of 99% of in-flight IO serviced from flash with no knobs, no configuration, and no on-going tuning seems incredible, but, they’ve successfully proven this in production at a large number of well known enterprise customers. The best way to confirm these claims is to bring the product in for evaluation. It’s simple to install and you will be able to see measurable results quickly.
VDI Deployment
PTS can deploy VDI from within PTS’ Cloud Data Center or from a hosted deployment. Contact PTS with your VDI needs, and we’ll tailor a solution to match your requirements in your preferred environment.

Tintri Replicate VM
Originally designed for physical environments, legacy LUN and volume-based replication technologies have been inhibitors to virtualizing mission-critical applications. These legacy products lack the simplicity, mobility, scalability, flexibility, efficiency and performance required for data protection in large-scale virtual environments. Tintri application-aware smart storage—using VMs as management entities—overcomes challenges posed by legacy replication technology with simple, WAN-efficient, high-performance per-VM replication.
Tintri ReplicateVM radically simplifies enterprise data protection and disaster recovery operations for virtual environments. Operating at a per-VM level enables a more granular approach to policy customization and enables VM agility with individual VM replication and remote cloning. Combining VM granularity with intelligent deduplication and compression reduces WAN bandwidth usage by up to 95 percent and results in high performance data transport.
Technology
ReplicateVM also extends the benefits of native per-VM cloning in Tintri OS to allow creating clone VMs on remote VMstore systems efficiently. The clone VMs can be imported into any vCenter server configured on the VMstore, increasing the agility of VMs between VMstore systems and vCenter servers.
Trinti Advantage
The Tintri VM-aware architecture enables replication granularity at an individual VM-level, rather than at a LUN or volume level, providing new levels of simplicity and efficiency for virtual environments. Enabling replication for a VM is as simple as checking a box and requires no pre-planning, storage configuration, and coordination between storage and virtualization teams. Data protection policies – snapshot retention periods and RPO – can be set and monitored on a per-VM basis, which allows individual VMs to be protected or restored with just a few mouse clicks.

The Tintri plugin for VMware vSphere® Web Client is the next milestone in enhancing the VMware ecosystem integration, a journey that started with Tintri VAAI plugin for creating space and performance efficient clones from vCenter interface. The Tintri vSphere Web Client Plugin extends other Tintri VM-aware benefits to vCenter. Natively integrated with the VMware infrastructure, Tintri vSphere Web Client Plugin allows administrators to leverage Tintri VM-aware capabilities, such as per-VM snapshots, clones, and replication, from vCenter interface to further simplify day-to-day management of large virtual environments and leverage Tintri per VM-level data management capabilities.
Centralized Day-to-Day Storage Monitoring
VMstore Dashboard: Tintri vSphere Web Client Plugin provides rich insights into VMstore level performance and capacity usage and trending metrics eliminating the challenges administrators face in performance and capacity monitoring and trending. The unique performance and capacity gauges give administrators immediate visibility to both the available performance headroom and storage capacity on any Tintri VMstore appliance. For the first time, administrators can get storage performance utilization with a single, easy-to-use metric – right from the vSphere Web Client. The Tintri dashboard information also quickly identifies VMs with the most changes in performance or capacity utilization in the past seven days without the need to understand how VMs map to the storage components—all you need to know is the name of the VM—Tintri VMstore manages the details for you.
Review and Acknowledge VMstore Alerts: Tintri vSphere Web Client Plugin provides integrated monitoring and management of VMstore in the vSphere Web Client UI. Administrators can review and acknowledge alerts from multiple VMstore systems centrally from the vSphere Web Client UI. Centralized monitoring also allows the administrators to correlate the alerts from VMstore with those from the rest of the virtual infrastructure to get an end-to-end picture.
VMstore Inventory Summary: Tintri vSphere Web Client Plugin provides summary of all VMstore systems deployed in virtual infrastructure. Administrators can view summary VMstore characteristics such as VMstore model number, serial number, Tintri OS software version, uptime without needing to log in to individual VMstore systems and drill down to get additional details, such as performance and capacity dashboards, at a VMstore level.

Tintri Global Center
Making the right choice of a scalable storage solution upfront is key to ensuring the success of all virtualization initiatives. All of the methods of scaling traditional storage including using additional disk shelves up to the limits of the controller, adding separately managed storage nodes or leveraging scale-out storage for virtualized environments share the common challenge of ever-growing management burden and infrastructure complexity.
Tintri VMstore™ and Tintri Global Center™ together enable IT to scale virtualization without the challenges of traditional storage. Building on the datastore concept of VMstore, Tintri Global Center delivers centralized monitoring and control that enables multiple VMstore systems to function as one. The result is simple scaling at significantly lower cost, and predictability for all virtual deployments.
Technology
Tintri Global Center and Tintri VMstore together offer a simple way to scale storage for virtualized environments. VMstore with FlashFirst™ Design and application-aware operations is the ideal building block for scaling storage. Each VMstore appears as a datastore in the virtualization layer and works with VMware’s Storage DRS.
Tintri Global Center is built on an architecture capable of supporting over one million VMs – a number well beyond what is deployed in even the most demanding virtual environments. Deployed as a standalone virtual appliance, Tintri Global Center enables IT administrators to control and monitor as many as 32 VMstore systems in different datacenters. IT admins can view and create summary reports across all or a group of VMstore systems and their resident VMs – with in-depth information on storage performance (IOPS, latency, throughput), capacity, vCenter clusters, host status, protection status, and more.
Tintri Global Center’s architectural foundation will enable administrators to apply consistent policies for data protection and enable automatic load balancing across different VMstore systems. Because Tintri Global Center is designed around REST APIs, it will also enable Tintri partners and customers to create custom solutions for tasks such as integrated snapshot control and automated deployment of test environments.

A new model for IT is here. Virtualized applications are the norm, and traditional storage is 20 years overdue for a shakeup. The mismatch between a dynamic virtualized environment and traditional storage products is forcing enterprises to be bound by tedious, blind solutions that don’t address the most important needs of IT – visibility into, and control of, the dynamic nature of data in a virtualized world.
This is why Tintri decided to build smart storage that sees, learns, and easily adapts – enabling IT to focus on virtualized applications instead of managing storage infrastructure. After all, applications drive business and infrastructure exists to support the apps. This means it’s far more important for the IT teams to focus on performance, QoS, speed to deployment, and scalability of apps – instead of managing the storage infrastructure.
Tintri’s application-aware storage is able to see how applications behave at the virtualization layer and present information in a way that’s useful to IT professionals. Equally important, every step in the Tintri experience is designed to be profoundly simple. But don’t take just our word for it – find out how our customers describe their experiences with Tintri.
Tintri’s team consists of technology luminaries with deep roots in storage and virtualization. The founders and architects of Tintri have built many market-defining solutions across the tech landscape. Tintri’s leadership team has been involved in taking many companies public and growing them into multi-billion dollar category leaders. The best and brightest minds in engineering, sales, marketing, support and operations have all come to Tintri to do one thing – build a new kind of storage that customers can love.
