What a wonderful anniversary gift! One day before the one year anniversary of Tegile Systems’ launch, we were just awarded Storage Magazine’s Storage Product of the Year. As the marketing leader at Tegile, of course I am absolutely elated with such a blessing. Credit goes to our fantastic engineering team though. Here are a couple key quotes from Storage Magazine’s Editor, Dave Raffo’s summary:
“The Tegile Zebi HA2800 multiprotocol array can be used as an all-flash system or in front of a pool of hard drives as a hybrid array. It includes up to 4.4 TB of flash and allows one or two 72 TB expansion shelves for up to 144 TB of hard drive capacity. Tegile claims the all-flash array can sustain 200,000 IOPS.”
“Our judges gave the HA2800 high marks for innovation and value, with its base price of approximately $235,000. One judge called the system “One of the more complete hybrid unified storage products — full storage array functionality and excellent performance at a reasonable price.”
Another judge noted that the HA2800′s “inline dedupe and hybrid disk, and snapshot and replication make for a comprehensive feature set.”
I am extremely grateful to the entire team at searchstorage.com. Thank you for recognizing the unique value we bring to our customers We are extremely proud today.
