US-based provider of flash-driven storage arrays Tegile Systems has announced a European expansion in Europe driven by increased customer demand.
Currently it sells exclusively through its channel partners in the UK, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and across the Benelux region however, with a growing demand, it plans further expansion into the Nordics. Tegile will also continue to grow its channel reseller base in Europe.
The company has also reported a 600% revenue growth in Europe since last year, it says. Tegile first came to Europe in 2012 and since then it has managed to expand its team on top of its increasing customer base which achieved more than 1,400 installations across the education, healthcare and government sectors, it says. In terms of the product and solution portfolio, Tegile stayed focused on virtualisation and high performance.
“We have seen such fantastic results all fostered from our own organic growth. With customers around the world such as Saudi Petroleum, Aer Lingus, Rahr Corporation and Mizuno USA, we are demonstrating exactly how much the company has grown since its inception. Moving further into the European market was the next logical step, and we are excited to continue building relationships with key channel partners in the region to ensure we are providing the best customer experience possible,” says Paul Silver, VP EMEA, Tegile.
In Europe Tegile distributes its product portfolio through its partner network, including the Exclusive Group’s company Big Technology. Barrie Desmond, COO of Exclusive Group, adds: “We pride ourselves in spearheading datacentre transformation, and Tegile is one of the most disruptive startups championing this change. We work with a select range of storage vendors across Europe to increase the performance and flexibility of an organisation’s core IT infrastructure. Tegile’s portfolio offers our customers across a range of verticals a variety of choice, allowing them to escape the escalating costs, capacity hurdles and performance delays that can no longer be tolerated. As Tegile sells exclusively through the channel it is an honour to support the team as it expands further into the European market, and we look forward to building on our relationship in the future”.
The storage market is expected to grow rapidly, with all-flash market to expand at a 50% CAGR by 2018 and account for around 15% of Europe’s total flash market, says ICT consultancy IDC. In a response, Tegile has formed three main product categories to address all customers’ needs. This includes the entry-level flash system, the mid-tier workhouse for larger-scale VDI, server virtualisation and database environments, and the high performance array for I/O workloads, it says.
