Technology
Tegile developed 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. Tegile hybrid and all-flash storage arrays use an implementation of the ZFS file system. Tegile made some changes to the way data is written to the file system, specifically how metadata is handled. IntelliFlash supports both block and file access, including iSCSI, Fibre Channel (FC), Network File System (NFS), and Server Message Block (SMB) protocols. Tegile provides a storage management tool. Tegile arrays support inline data deduplication and data compression.
Some competitors are noted as Nimble Storage and Tintri.
