NEWARK, Calif. – May 22, 2013 –Tegile Systems, a leading provider of hybrid storage arrays for virtualized server and virtual desktop environments, today announced that it has opened an office in the United Kingdom, extending the global rollout of its award-winning Zebi™ storage arrays to Europe and beyond. The company has hired former Dell/EqualLogic executive Paul Silver to head the new office as Vice President, Europe Middle East and Africa.

Silver has a 20-year record as a sales and sales management superstar, consistently over-achieving sales goals for storage, telecommunications and other IT companies. He has established a reputation as a startup specialist who excels in building exceptional sales organizations, developing and executing channel programs and innovative distribution strategies. Silver joins Tegile from desktop virtualization vendor GreenBytes, where he was also Vice President EMEA. He previously held a similar position with EqualLogic and started their business in EMEA until the acquisition by Dell for $1.4 billion and beyond.

“I could not have hoped to find a more perfect fit than Tegile to build the next sales success story,” said Silver. “With a hugely disruptive product offering at the intersection of solid state storage and virtualization, Tegile’s no-compromise storage technology is poised for an unlimited success in Europe.”

It’s great to continuous investment and expansion for Tegile into the EMEA region, which brings with it both new opportunities for revenue and optimization for any regional specific requirements which might bring further enhancements and capabilities to existing customers.  I wish Paul and the Tegile team all the very best for their new office in EMEA and look forward to bumping into them in the near future for a cup of tea and an update on what they’re working on.
