Gymboree
Gymboree Makes the Move from Physical to Virtual with Tintri VMstore
Customer Case Study
San Francisco-based Gymboree Corporation operates a chain of over 1,200 specialty retail stores of children’s apparel in the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada.
Challenge
- Disparate storage solutions increase operating costs and management overhead
- Insufficient functionality across platforms
- Storage over-provisioning requires a large data center footprint
Solution
- Tintri VMstore
Results
- Eliminated ten to twelve hours per week of storage administration overhead
- Improved virtual machine performance
- Reduced datacenter footprint from 63RU to 4RU
What Gymboree is Saying
With VMstore, our storage management overhead has gone to zero. The platform is so easy to use that our virtualization admins have taken control of the storage environment. As a result, we don’t need storage specialists for that infrastructure anymore.
