Introduction to Tintri and DDN

James Coomer, SVP Product Management, reintroduces DDN and Tintri at Storage Field Day 21. Although both names are familiar to many in the enterprise storage space, the companies have grown and evolved in many ways since Tintri was acquired by DDN in 2018. DDN is “the world’s largest privately-held storage company, with 20 years of industry leadership, 150+ patents in storage and data management, and over 1,000 employees around the world. Founded in 2001, DDN acquired Intel’s file system division and Tintri in 2018 as well as Nexenta and Western Digital’s all-flash array division in 2019. DDN with Tintri has moved into the AI and data market along with HPC, web and cloud, telco, research and academia, public sector, and enterprise. Tintri serves the enterprise with intelligent infrastructure products: IntelliFlash, VMstore, and NexentaStor.
