"To be honest, after seeing the Nimble arrays in action, the product really sold itself."
"Partnering with Nimble has enabled us to shift our IT direction from a ‘broad brush’ approach to storage, to a deeper level of architectural granularity. Nimble’s great efficiency and flexibility are allowing us to fulfill the storage requirements of all of our business units in a much more innovative way."
"The superior price-performance, the ease of deployment, the simplified management, and the ability to easily run our complex workloads on a highly available platform made Nimble the obvious choice for us."
“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.”
"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."
"I was impressed by the innovation by which Nimble had created a high performance and cost effective SAN. The combination of Huon IT and Nimble works very well. It’s a cost-effective solution that provides elevated performance over the incumbent. When you put all that together, the total cost of ownership is actually better."
“The Nimble solutions were compelling. They offered better performance and support than the others and were definitely less expensive. But what really sold me on Nimble was the remote management and support. They would monitor the system and know about any problems before I did. If any issues arose, they would alert me. This meant I wouldn’t have to have a dedicated storage person.”
"We have seen what Nimble Storage can deliver and we know that we can run our VDI infrastructure on top of it, which is excellent, because I won’t need yet another piece of equipment that I have to learn and deploy. This one just deploys easily and immediately begins returning value."
“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.”
"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."
“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.”
“The Nimble Storage arrays can easily sustain the high IOPS load we need to support our virtual desktop environment.”
"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."
"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."
"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."
