“Nimble has proven to be vastly simpler to administer and manage. We can see the details of everything from performance and disks to the caching and IOPS. It allows us to very easily monitor and manage the system.”
“Nimble is thinking outside the box. The storage market is evolving quickly, and Nimble is the ‘leader of the pack’ with their approach and how they use the technology.”
"With flexible storage arrays and a highly responsive design, Nimble Storage has proven to be a great partner for Ask’s growing storage needs and will be critical to supporting our future needs as well."
"The key thing with Nimble is its simplicity. In an IT world where systems are becoming more and more complex, Nimble gives you the power and flexibility you need but at the same time it is very easy to use. That’s a great combination to have."
"Nimble has given us redundancy and disk savings through compression. All our data is protected to a higher level and although we are only using about a quarter of the total disk space at present because we haven’t migrated all our data yet, we are already saving around 1.5 terabytes of space."
“We were looking for a storage solution built on an open architecture that would not limit our options if we wanted to make changes to our infrastructure down the road. We just needed simple, rock-solid storage that worked with our existing infrastructure. That’s what we found with HPE Nimble Storage.”
"Storage is no longer the bottleneck that it used to be. With other systems, you have to schedule backups and make sure you don’t ever fall into a ‘lag timeframe’ between the time you dump the data on the appliance and the time you actually dedupe it. But with Nimble, you set it and forget it"
“In retail, everything happens so quickly. From one day to the next, we don’t know where we are going to be or how the company may expand. Expansion is always on the horizon for us. But we know that if we do acquire another company or develop future brands, we can easily scale our storage up. We can change controllers or add storage and it remains easy to maintain. To me it’s a no-brainer. I know I’m going to need additional storage in two years time. We’ll just need to add another shelf and slot it in. Nimble gives us a lot more flexibility in that it can expand with the company.”
"We have seen what Nimble Storage can deliver and we know that we can run our VDI infrastructure on top of it, which is excellent, because I won’t need yet another piece of equipment that I have to learn and deploy. This one just deploys easily and immediately begins returning value."
“With HPE Nimble Storage dHCI, we can now provide a superior VDI solution to support changes to our business model and our 400+ employees working remotely due to COVID-19.”
"We’ve reduced a full rack of storage down to just 6RU, so we’re using less than a quarter of a rack for twice the storage space. And the power savings are dramatic."
"I was impressed by the innovation by which Nimble had created a high performance and cost effective SAN. The combination of Huon IT and Nimble works very well. It’s a cost-effective solution that provides elevated performance over the incumbent. When you put all that together, the total cost of ownership is actually better."
"One of the big attractions for us was the fact that Nimble was using flash as a front-end cache for frequently accessed data."
“The Nimble solutions were compelling. They offered better performance and support than the others and were definitely less expensive. But what really sold me on Nimble was the remote management and support. They would monitor the system and know about any problems before I did. If any issues arose, they would alert me. This meant I wouldn’t have to have a dedicated storage person.”
“Previously there was a lot of storage to maintain. Now we only have one system to manage and we actually don’t really need to monitor it because Nimble’s service team do it for us through the InfoSight portal. I think we made a very good choice. For our budget, our needs and for the ease of use, Nimble has done a great job.”
