Description
Looking for a radically simple, cloud-ready, all-flash storage solution that leverages the power of predictive analytics? Nimble Storage All Flash Arrays are the industry’s only predictive all-flash arrays—designed to deliver radical simplicity and flash performance within a scalable, cloud-ready platform. The Nimble Storage AF1000 All Flash Array is the entry point to the Nimble Storage all-flash product line. Small but mighty, it delivers the functionality and scalability of a higher-end array at an affordable price. Combining a flash-optimized architecture with InfoSight Predictive Analytics, it gives you fast, reliable access to data with proven, measured availability of greater than 99.9999%. Backed by the Timeless Storage guarantee that comes with all Nimble Storage arrays, there is no need to pay for optional software, and forklift upgrades can become a thing of the past. The full Nimble Storage product portfolio is available today at the Nimble Storage website.
Radical Simplicity and Non-disruptive Scale
Radical simplicity: From deployment to configuration and management.
Scale-to fit: Scale-up seamlessly to grow the performance and capacity of an array. Scale across multiple arrays non-disruptively in a cluster still managed as one.
Quality of service (QoS) controls: Auto QoS prevents “noisy neighbor” issues. QoS limits allow you to set explicit IOPS and/or bandwidth limits.
InfoSight Predictive Analytics
Proactive resolution: InfoSight automatically predicts and resolves 86% of problems before you even know there is an issue.
Solves storage and non-storage problems: By collecting and correlating sensors across the infrastructure stack, InfoSight uncovers problems spanning from storage to virtual machines. In fact, 54% of the problems InfoSight resolves are outside of storage.
Prevents known issues with infrastructure that learns: If a problem is detected in one system, InfoSight learns to predict the issue and inoculate other systems. Every system gets smarter and more reliable through collective installed base insights.
The support you’ve always wanted: Automation and proactive resolution put the focus on prevention, streamlining the process, and connecting you directly to support expertise. No more answering routine support questions, sending log files, or attempting to recreate issues.
Flash Efficiency
Always-on reduction: Achieve up to 5X or better data reduction through flash efficiency and inline variable block deduplication and compression.
Backup and disaster recovery at one-third the cost: Nimble Storage arrays have built-in native replication that’s easy to configure and deploy, allowing you to replicate from All Flash to Adaptive Flash or Secondary Flash arrays.
Cloud-ready: Flexibility to create a multicloud environment with Nimble Cloud Volumes.
Absolute Resiliency
Over 99.9999% measured availability: Predictive analytics and fault-tolerant design achieve over six-nines of proven availability, validated across the installed base.
Triple+ Parity RAID: Tolerates three simultaneous drive failures plus additional protection from intra-drive parity.
SmartSecure encryption: Application-granular, FIPS-certified encryption and data shredding provide end-to-end security for data at rest and on-the-wire when replicated offsite.
Comprehensive data protection: Application-consistent snapshots and replication as well as integration with leading backup software solutions provide an ideal foundation for comprehensive data protection.
