Freedom To Choose - Hypervisor-Smart Storage For A Post VMware World
Tintri, Thursday, February 19th, 2026
Virtualization is no longer a one-horse town. Many enterprises now run VMware vSphere in one data center, Hyper-V or Citrix in another, test Red Hat or KVM in the lab, and evaluate Platform9 for a VMware exit strategy. This is on top of trying to keep SLAs steady and costs sane.
The risk is obvious: every hypervisor stack typically wants its own storage island, its own tuning, and its own backup and DR targets.
Tintri VMstore was built for pattern interruption. Because it is hypervisor-agnostic at the storage layer, you can safely run and protect workloads across VMware vSphere, Platform9, Microsoft Hyper-V, Citrix Hypervisor, and Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization on the same workload-aware platform. Instead of managing separate arrays and protection schemes per hypervisor, you standardize on a single data management foundation and let the compute layer evolve at its own pace.
