The #Tegile CEO talks about how the #allflash market is shaping up with the advent of NVM express, and how his company is battling against the major data storage vendors.
Like most flash array vendors, Tegile Systems Inc. is waiting for advances such as nonvolatile memory express, or #NVMe, and #3DXPoint to become market reality. The vendor is banking on its flash design to maximize those technologies, compared to legacy systems originally built for HDDs. #HPE #Nimble
Unlike established vendors who come from the hard-disk world and newcomers who built all-flash arrays from the start, Tegile started in hybrids. It had flash in all of its arrays from the start in 2012, but added all-flash a few years later. Now, it has two flash platforms: The Tegile IntelliFlash T Series is based on the vendor's own technology, and the Tegile IntelliFlash HD(high density) incorporates chassis from partner SanDisk -- now Western Digital -- for higher-capacity loads.
SearchSolidStateStorage talked to Tegile Systems' CEO, Rohit Kshetrapal, about the latest developments in the flash storage market. We discussed Tegile Systems' NVMe plans, how customers are using flash and the cloud, the Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) acquisition of Nimble Storage and why an initial public offering (IPO) is not in the near-term future.
What is the mix among your customers between all-flash and hybrid arrays?
Kshetrapal: I would say in excess of 60% of our business has become all-flash. As we see the economics changing and larger-sized flash drives coming in, we hear less discussion around hybrids. The exception is when people may want a disaster recovery box.
