I passed. Got a big demo, went elsewhere. Too much magic sauce integration into vSphere. KISS.
Just give me all-flash block horsepower.
Good way to waste money by just going with all flash horsepower.
Easy now, there are plenty of use cases where a hybrid array isn't the best choice, and then there are also use cases where Tintri in particular doesn't fit a use case.
What's important is that buyers do their due diligence to match array offerings to functional requirements.
Good way to waste money by just going with all flash horsepower. You should have done your research first. I hope you at least went with Solidfire and not a company like Pure Storage.
The secret sauce is awesome especially considering the file system was built from the ground up years before VMware introduced VVOLs. This is not a WAFL, CASL, ZFS file system. If you do some research about who wrote RAID, you will find the guy that wrote the file system for Tintri.
It is not to say that there isn't other storage out there that will also get the job done, but when it comes to VM-aware storage and VM performance, Tintri is definitely one of the best.

I'm not sure if that's entirely true, if I've understood the question - we had a stretch cluster HP StoreVirtual and I could absolutely switch off or "steamroller" half of it and the cluster IP and storage would fail over without any interruption.

Whats wrong with Pure? we're actually looking at SolidFire, Pure, Nimble, and 1 or 2 others, so i'm curious what i might need to watch out about with Pure.
Very simple platform - dedupe and compress, shoot to flash. Clunky snapshot and replication system, no VM management, performance cap at about 80-85% overall system capacity (fill it to that point, goodbye speed), SCSI queuing issues and filesystem locking limitations (for virtual workloads). Can get the same performance elsewhere for far cheaper. If you need raw HP for physical workloads, it's great - but it's nothing special for virtual platforms, just another all flash platform with dedupe and compression.
now i understand why pure keeps running all demos with 10-15% space used
