Tegile Systems is a manufacturer of flash storage arrays based in Newark, CA. It makes both hybrid and all-flash storage arrays all using the same common operating environment, IntelliFlash. Tegile arrays support inline data deduplication and compression, as well as provide storage access via iSCSI, NFS, SMB 3.0/CIFS and Fibre Channel.
History
Tegile Systems was founded in 2010 by Rohit Kshetrapal, Rajesh Nair, Justin Cheen, and Alok Agrawal. In February 2012, Tegile came out of stealth with the launch of its unified hybrid storage arrays. Tegile has developed and patented what the company calls IntelliFlash Metadata Acceleration, which is a way to store metadata on high speed solid state disks, apart from the underlying data.
To date, Tegile has raised $117.5 million through four rounds of funding. Investors include August Capital, Meritech Capital Partners, SanDisk, and Western Digital.
Customers
As of May 2015, Tegile has shipped 1,500 arrays. Its customers are businesses across all major market verticals, including financial services and legal, health care, technology, manufacturing, entertainment, education and government. Tegile’s products are considered strong solutions for a variety of workloads, including database/big data applications, enterprise applications, virtual desktop infrastructure, server virtualization, backup and general file storage.

Technology
Tegile uses an improved implementation of the ZFS file system, which brings, among other items, the following features.
Hybrid storage
Independent industry analysts believe that hybrid storage arrays[13]—arrays that leverage solid state storage as an accelerator for hard disk-based storage—are well-positioned to disrupt the traditional array marketplace by helping customers address both capacity and performance.[14] As new kinds of workloads have emerged – such as those revolving around virtual desktops – hybrid storage vendors have arisen to help customers close the performance gap in ways that are simpler than is possible with legacy hard disk-based storage alone.
Metadata Acceleration
One of the primary technologies differentiating Tegile from others in the market is the patented IntelliFlash Metadata Acceleration technology. In traditional file systems, data and metadata are stored together, with metadata being interspersed with data on disks. As time passes and data is modified, deleted, and rewritten, such metadata becomes fragmented on disk.
Inordinate growth and fragmentation of metadata causes significant deterioration in a system’s behavior over time. MASS organizes and stores metadata independent of the data, on high-speed devices with optimized retrieval paths. This accelerates every storage function within the system, raising the performance of near-line SAS hard disk drives to the level of extremely expensive high-RPM SAS or Fibre Channel drives.[15]
Data Deduplication
Tegile provides data deduplication services across both the solid state and hard disk storage in the array. Deduplication reduces the overall footprint for redundant data blocks. By deduplicating the flash-based storage elements, Tegile enables a denser mix of accelerated workloads in addition to storing more data on hard disk.[16]
General features
The following technologies are supported by Tegile:
- iSCSI - 1 Gbit/s and 10 Gbit/s.
- Fibre Channel (FC) - 2Gbit/s, 4Gbit/s and 8 Gbit/s.
- Network File System (NFS).
- CIFS/SMB 3.0.
- Data deduplication & compression.
- Thin provisioning.
- Snapshots.
- Remote replication.
