83 HPE Nimble Storage Testimonials

“We determined that the HPE Nimble and HPE Synergy solutions would be an excellent fit for KIEN’s needs, in terms of both price and functionality. We were so confident the HPE solution would succeed, we offered our data center design and migration services under a fixed-price guarantee.”

"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."

"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."

“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 success as a teleradiology provider!”

"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."

"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 love Nimble’s seamless integration with VMware, not to mention with SQL and Exchange.”

"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."

“HPE InfoSight gives us the predictive analytics to make growth projections and anticipate when to buy additional hardware to support our growing customers. That’s why we use HPE, because they’re not just providing hardware, but also great software for managing our infrastructure.”

“HPE Nimble Storage allows us to accommodate many different types of workloads and deliver the performance required for each. Operationally and financially, it would be a nightmare to need specialized arrays for our customers’ unique use cases or applications. HPE Nimble Storage is much simpler and gives us the best bang for the buck.”

“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.”

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

"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 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."

“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.”
