Brian Madden has written many articles on the problems storage can cause for VDI. He has made it known that he believes VDI should be used for 1-to-1 personal disk images instead of many-to-1 shared disk images.Unfortunately, this isn't possible with local storage built-in to servers, and it's not cost effective with traditional SANs.

This is where Tegile comes in. Their Zebi array is a hybrid disk/SSD/DRAM primary storage appliance that's perfect for VDI. (So much so that even Brian likes it, and you know that's a tough thing to do!) In this video, Brian visited Tegile's office to meet with their CTO, discuss their product, and learn how it works. He also got a demo of the management interface. Watch this video and learn about Tegile's approach to storage for VDI.
