83 HPE Nimble Storage Testimonials

"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."

“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.”

“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.”

“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 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."

“I haven’t had to touch the Nimble since it went into production. It is really easy to manage and it has been problem free. You plug it in, set it up, and it just works — it’s been ticking away faultlessly.”

"We have deployed 300 VDI users, improved performance, spent less time managing storage, and we have an improved business continuity plan, all at lower costs than we ever imagined."

"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.”

“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.”

"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."

"We had been very impressed with the performance of a small entry level Nimble SAN we had previously purchased. After reviewing the market, other customer feedback and along with our experience of our existing Nimble SAN, we felt confident in making further investment to support our entire production environment and we’re extremely pleased with the results."

"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."

"From everything I have learned about storage, Nimble shouldn’t be able to deliver 125,000 write IOPS from their adaptive flash arrays. I don’t know how Nimble does it, but it works like a dream."

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

"One of the big attractions for us was the fact that Nimble was using flash as a front-end cache for frequently accessed data."
