The 16th annual conference hosted by the investment banking and asset management firm is intended to expose their investor clients to high-growth companies. Tegile has pioneered a new generation of flash-driven storage arrays that balance performance, capacity, features and price for virtualization, file services and database applications.

"We appreciate this opportunity to contribute to Needham & Company's domain expertise in enterprise infrastructure," said Commins. "Understanding the way enterprise data is managed, stored, accessed, and shared today is beneficial to Needham investors who are seeking to understand the key factors driving growth in the information technology industry."

Tegile's Zebi(TM) hybrid arrays are a technology and market favorite that satisfy the demand for performance at solid-state speeds, with the capacity and cost advantages of hard disk storage. Zebi arrays are significantly faster than legacy arrays, and significantly less expensive than all solid-state disk-based arrays. Featuring both NAS and SAN connectivity, they are easy to use, fully redundant, highly scalable, and come complete with built-in snapshot, replication, near-instant recovery, and virtualization management features.
