"To be honest, after seeing the Nimble arrays in action, the product really sold itself."
"A single Nimble array was not only able to meet the higher IOPS requirements, but also to deliver the needed capacity increases, all at a lower cost to CMJTS. That move also meant that they could demote the legacy SAN to a data protection role."
“Today the whole school runs on Nimble. The advanced methods employed by Nimble resulted in improvements in performance of our TASS system and we’ve certainly seen improvements in stability. The deployment has given us the time and the storage to implement new programs. We are a very satisfied customer.”
“In all cases our expectations were met, and in many instances, they were far exceeded. I don’t provide those kinds of reviews and references for IT products very often, but Nimble and Cisco have clearly earned the high accolades.”
"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."
"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!"
"With our former SAN, I felt that performance was lagging, but I couldn’t gain any visibility into the SAN to actually verify what was going on."
"The IOPS for the Nimble is three times better that our previous storage SAN. We have also noticed faster boot times for all of our critical servers, and our students and faculty have experienced a 33 percent improvement in login times for their productivity and school applications."
"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."
“The Nimble Storage arrays can easily sustain the high IOPS load we need to support our virtual desktop environment.”
"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!"
"With the space-efficient Nimble snapshots, we have been able to increase the product portfolio we offer to our customers, resulting in more revenue for our organisation and longer retention periods for our clients."
"We found Nimble Storage to quite simply be the best value for money in terms of its price versus performance but that value was enhanced even more with additional features and services offered such as InfoSight.”
“Aggregate requirements were mounting with our databases, user access, and virtualized servers. Things were not breaking yet, but it was getting to the point where application performance was beginning to degrade.”
"It was great for us to find a device capable of providing primary storage, snapshotting, and offsite replicated backups, all in one easy system."
