Reduxio vs. Tintri VMstore

Reduxio fit into our plans for replacing our aging EMC VNX5500. We were able to reduce our data center footprint from 50 rack units down to 8. The data dedupe or "No-Dupe" as they call it was the main reason for the reduced footprint. We also use VSphere and the API's that tie into VCenter work very well. Your able to carve out storage right from the VCenter web client. Reduxio may be less appropriate when used as a backup repository.

• High performance.
• Backdating feature.
• Professional services.

Incentivized

• Thin provisioned drives for SQL and Oracle databases allow maximizing virtual environment storage
• Excellent performance in the virtual environment
• Works well with System Center Virtual Machine Manager and Hyper-V

Incentivized

• Some best practice documentation available online would be nice, however their support is available to answer any questions.
• The available amount of physical storage remaining is sort of ambiguous.
• The marketing of No-Dup is really not a great idea.

Incentivized

• None missing. Helps in data protection.
• Troubleshooting workload balancing.
• Eliminates manual processes during deployment.

We were looking for a low cost and high IO performance storage option, and considered Netapp and EMC. Reduxio, as an early stage startup, offered us a test option on their beta site. After more than a year, we got a generally available version, and after an additional 3 months, we went to production.

We chose Tintri because it allowed us to no longer have to carefully manage our storage platform. We pretty much set it and forget it. Also, management of Tintri does not require a storage expert. This is no longer a full time job to manage.

Incentivized

• One positive impact is the amount of electricity we're saving over the VNX5500
• The Reduxio is much simpler to manage allowing less training time.
• The simplicity of the UI will allow us to hire people that may not have as much experience with enterprise storage.

Incentivized

• Drastically decrease virtual server install time
• Allowing thin provision drives without performance issues
