"We really liked the design of Nimble’s technology and the use of flash storage to speed up responses. The hardware replication was good and so was the compression. We looked at a few different compression technologies during the review as a way of optimising our storage, but we really liked Nimble’s approach. The other thing about Nimble that impressed us was their whole support strategy."
"he storage is critical because our file servers are constantly used by heads of departments, teachers and support staff. We can’t afford for that to go down. Nimble is a good fit because it has the balance we require between price, capacity and performance."
“We chose Synergy for our data centers because it is an affordable solution that handles the volumes of transactions and data our company processes. It’s also very scalable and highly redundant.”
"By moving data to the Nimble arrays, our storage IOPS limitations simply went away. Our customers’ Oracle environments are now running 60% faster and we are experiencing much lower latency on the VMware hosts."
“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.”
"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"
"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."
"With the Nimble CS260, we have reduced physical space from three quarters of a rack to the space consumed by a single server (three rack units) — a 75 percent space reduction — without causing any performance issues. We’ve also benefited from the equivalent power savings and cooling demands."
“I don’t want my storage tool to just dump a lot of disjointed, tabular data in front of me and tell me I’m on my own. Nimble Storage InfoSight turns all of that raw data into valuable information that I can actually use."
"The average response time for SAP requests immediately dropped from 1,400U on NetApp’s product to under 400U on the Nimble platform. Our SAP users went from wanting to hang me, to wanting to thank me!"
“The Nimble Storage arrays can easily sustain the high IOPS load we need to support our virtual desktop environment.”
“The Nimble team is the best support organization I’ve worked with in 20 years of IT.”
"Most vendors promise more than they can deliver. But with Nimble, it’s just the opposite—they consistently under-promise and over-deliver. I really do believe in Nimble!"
"Everything appears to respond a lot quicker. On top of that, we’re not even using 30 per cent of the total capacity of the arrays because of Nimble’s compression."
"Not only have we simplified our day-to-day storage management tasks — we have gained the ability to plan for both performance and capacity going forward. I’ve yet to come across a storage management tool that has the range of functionality provided by Nimble InfoSight."
