"A modestly skilled IT person who has read the administration guide and had some practice time on the Web interface can be very functional at managing the Nimble array."
"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."
"Although the reason we went with Nimble Storage was to support VDI and improve application performance — a great side benefit for us was the dramatic cost savings compared to our previous storage platform. Better performance at a lower price is a rare combination for any IT solution."
"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 set out to find a solution that provided the performance and scale required to support our 106,000 residents in a timely manner. Public service and safety are issues we take seriously so our evaluation process needed to be extremely comprehensive. The performance of next-generation storage systems are above and beyond our legacy storage, but there were several factors that led us to selecting Nimble – namely ease-of-use, InfoSight predictive analytics and the Timeless Storage support guarantee.”
"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."
"We can now do everything we were doing with 42U of Compellent with just 6U of Nimble Storage."
"It almost seems like Nimble designed and built the arrays specifically for the needs of our organization. I really appreciate that!"
"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."
“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."
"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."
"Before Nimble, if we had storage failures, our developers might just as well have sat on their hands while waiting for recovery of, say, 100 gigabits of data from the server. Now, simply recovering from a snapshot, or bringing those developers onto our replicated system, saves the company time and money."
"We got big storage savings with a solution that was less than the price other vendors were looking for. The management console is very easy to use. We don’t need certification or lots of training to use the storage array. Performance has nearly doubled ever since we moved off the old array and quite frankly, it’s a lightweight and easy-to-use solution."
“Nimble has more than lived up to our expectations. It absolutely meets our requirements for scalability, capacity, and performance – and we aren’t even ‘stretching it’ yet. From a support perspective, Nimble is absolutely stellar. We’re very pleased with our choice of storage platform.”
