"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."

“With the increased performance and throughput of the Nimble Storage SmartStack, Cisco UCS, and VMware solution, we can now provide radiology results to doctors and other healthcare providers much faster. And with medical lab results, saving time means saving lives. That is by far the most important metric of our …

"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!"

"“On the day the Nimble arrays went live our performance problems went away. It was instant. In IT you never get any praise, but we stopped getting complaints."

"With EqualLogic, I could only store one day of snapshots. In the unlikely scenario that we have a failure that starts corrupting our backups, the additional snapshot space that comes with the Nimble arrays will enable us to provide even more protection for our valuable data."

"“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 …

"VMware, our 85 to 90 virtual machines, and Exchange — they’re all on the Nimble arrays — and we’re seeing much, much better performance than we had across all the systems that we discarded."

"We got big storage savings with a solution that was less than the price other vendors were looking for. The management console is very easy to use. We don’t need certification or lots of training to use the storage array. Performance has nearly doubled ever since we moved off the …

"The spectacular ROI result was a huge surprise. I kicked myself for not doing something about the issue in the years prior. But the traditional SAN array usually means sending someone away for weeks training and the configuration of it can be quite a long and arduous project of itself."

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

"The CS220G consumed just three rack units (RU), down from 8RU taken by the old system, while delivering a 270 percent improvement in throughput and staggering performance improvement in both random write (3,700%) and random read (1,100%) workloads."

"A modestly skilled IT person who has read the administration guide and had some practice time on the Web interface can be very functional at managing the Nimble array."

“The Nimble Storage arrays can easily sustain the high IOPS load we need to support our virtual desktop environment.”

"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. …

"With EMC, we had to do a lot of math to get the volumes to work out. That all went away in our move to Nimble."
