83 HPE Nimble Storage Testimonials

“Nimble has more than lived up to our expectations. It absolutely meets our requirements for scalability, capacity, and performance – and we aren’t even ‘stretching it’ yet. From a support perspective, Nimble is absolutely stellar. We’re very pleased with our choice of storage platform.”

“We had high expectations of Nimble’s innovative product to begin with, and the successful proof-of-concept confirmed the deliverables we needed could easily be attained. Performance and budgetary figures were quickly validated, and switching to Nimble made good business sense."

"“We decided to adopt Nimble because of its simplicity. It is easy to use and it has excellent compression technology. It is also much cheaper than other storage solutions because you don’t have to buy additional licenses for different functionality. Replication and backup are already bundled in the machines, so they come for free."

"We can now do everything we were doing with 42U of Compellent with just 6U of Nimble Storage."

“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.”

"We found that Nimble Storage’s unique architecture — combining flash and disk — delivers extremely high performance, which is the perfect environment for VDI. Using Nimble Storage flash-enabled arrays in our VMware View environment has vastly improved how our highly mobile workforce accesses their applications and data — enabling us to serve an ever-greater number of mobile workers without sacrificing storage performance or capacity."

"We don’t spend time babysitting our backups anymore. With Nimble, data protection is robust and reliable, and the management overhead is almost zero. If we do look at the Nimble console during a backup, it’s just for curiosity’s sake, not because we need to!"

"For the first time we know we have the performance to handle any kind of workload we want to put through the system."

"After comparing the market for hybrid and traditional storage solutions we found Nimble Storage to have the best price/performance and the best management interfaces. Combined this made our decision to purchase Nimble one of the easiest I have ever had to make."

"With Nimble, the economics of storage are vastly in our favor. I once said that if we could get the functionality, performance and operational stability we needed, but with a significant reduction in TCO that we’ve seen with Nimble, it wouldn’t be a home run, but a grand slam."

"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."

"With the old system we were using two racks of infrastructure for storage. Now, we are using less than half a rack and our capacity is much greater. Before we had 100 terabytes and were running out of space. Now we are sitting on a quarter of our total capacity. This has given us a huge degree of comfort."

“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.”

"Even though we really hammer our Nimble arrays – they always come out without a scratch!"

"Nimble has simplified storage management and upgrades to the point it is essentially ‘set it up and forget it.’ For a lean IT department like ours without a dedicated storage administrator— that benefit alone is worth its weight in gold."
