83 HPE Nimble Storage Testimonials

“Previously, we had multiple people managing the hardware infrastructure; now, we need just one because the servers and HPE Nimble Storage simply get on with the job without complaint. It is hugely easier to manage, with instant notifications and predictive analysis that identifies issues before we even know about them. HPE InfoSight gives us access to all the reporting and statistics we need, providing actionable visibility from a single dashboard.”

"By moving data to the Nimble arrays, our storage IOPS limitations simply went away. Our customers’ Oracle environments are now running 60% faster and we are experiencing much lower latency on the VMware hosts."

“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."

“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.”

"The fact that we have so many different workloads running on one SAN is astounding. And the ability to reach our storage goals with such a small number of disks is simply stunning."

"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."

"To be honest, after seeing the Nimble arrays in action, the product really sold itself."

“Nimble has proven to be vastly simpler to administer and manage. We can see the details of everything from performance and disks to the caching and IOPS. It allows us to very easily monitor and manage the system.”

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

"We found that Nimble Storage’s unique architecture — combining flash and disk — delivers extremely high performance, which is the perfect environment for VDI. Using Nimble Storage flash-enabled arrays in our VMware View environment has vastly improved how our highly mobile workforce accesses their applications and data — enabling us to serve an ever-greater number of mobile workers without sacrificing storage performance or capacity."
