Conventional storage is about isolation. Isolating workloads and hypervisors. Tintri lets you run multiple workloads across multiple hypervisors and OpenStack.

VM-Level ReplicationReplicating and backing up entire LUNs wastes capacity and WAN bandwidth. Tintri reduces WAN usage up to 95% by replicating VMs not LUNs

SecureVM

Protect your entire VMstore with typical Tintri ease:

• Encrypt data at rest in real-time.AES-256 bit encryption standard

• Zero capacity or performance penalty

• Built-in key rotation. Changing keys requires a single click

• Replicate between VMstores with or without encryption (requires ReplicateVM)

@Tintri© 2015 Tintri, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 23

SyncVM – Fast Forward / RewindTime Travel to any point-in-time version of a VM:

• Move back and forth without ever losing snapshot history

• Instantly recover snapshots without affecting any other VM

• Roll back patches or recover missing data

• File-level restore by attaching snapshot as an extra disk without reverting whole VM

@Tintri© 2015 Tintri, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 24

Shorten application development cycles:

• Sync ‘master’ VMs to ‘child’ VMs

• Deploy code changes from ‘master’ to multiple ‘child’ VMs in minutes, not hours or days

• Combine with ReplicateVM to send snapshots to other VMstores or data centres

Use Case: Software Development

DoD needed to provision hundreds of VMs quickly, and then spin them down just as fast—LUNs and other dated concepts made that impossible
