8. Tintri
Tintri was founded VMware's former head of R&D and came out of stealth mode in March with a series of appliances aimed at handling storage in virtualized environments. The Mountain View, Calif.-based company's VMstore appliances handle hundreds of virtual machines and their storage in a single device while making that device seem like a simple direct-attached storage array. According to the company, the VMstore includes about 1 TB of Flash memory and 16 1-TB SATA hard drives with built-in compression and deduplication technology and an administration console which hides the complexity of attaching virtual machines to storage.
