Tegile

I see the above comments with interest I have numerous customers that think Tegile is an amazing company and solution. The customers love the after sales service the ease of deployment and management the performance and the fact they know what the costs will be moving forward.

We could sell any storage solution, but we work with Tegile, because we know our customers will be happy and that Tegile guarantee exactly what they say.

At the end of the day this is storage you just want it do exactly what it says on the tin with the least amount of hassle and that is what Tegile gives you.
