Description
Looking for a radically simple, cloud-ready storage solution that leverages the power of predictive analytics? Nimble Storage Adaptive Flash Arrays are the industry’s only predictive hybrid flash arrays, designed to deliver radical simplicity with consistently good performance within a scalable, cloud-ready platform. This is achieved by combining a flash-optimized architecture with InfoSight Predictive Analytics—giving you fast, reliable access to data with proven, measured availability of greater than 99.9999%. Nimble Storage CS1000 and CS1000H Adaptive Flash Arrays provide value and simplicity for mixed, mainstream workloads. Since they are backed by our Timeless Storage guarantee, 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, including the full range of Adaptive Flash Arrays, is available today via the Nimble Storage website.
Flash Performance for Mixed, Mainstream Workloads
Speed and efficiency for mixed workloads: Purpose-built flash architecture delivers sub-millisecond response times with greater efficiency than other hybrid arrays.[4]
Scale-to-fit: Scale up seamlessly to grow the performance and capacity of the array. Scale across multiple arrays non-disruptively in a cluster still managed as one.
Adaptive service levels: Assign and change the service level of any volume at the click of a button (“Auto Flash”, “All Flash”, or “Minimal Flash”).
Cloud-ready: Flexibility to create a multicloud environment with Nimble Cloud Volumes.
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 VMs. 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 begins 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.
Unparalleled Hybrid Efficiency
Flash-optimized write performance: Defy expectations and write to disk at flash speeds through write serialization to get flash-like performance from very cost-efficient, high-density hard disk drives.
Flash-optimized read performance: Dynamic flash caching accelerates reads even as workloads change to leverages flash capacity more efficiently than other tiered hybrid systems.
Always-on data reduction: Variable-block compression, zero pattern elimination, thin provisioning, and zero-copy clones deliver up to 2-3X space savings without performance penalty.
Absolute Resiliency
Greater than 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.
Integrated data protection: an ideal foundation for comprehensive data protection through application-consistent snapshots and replication as well as integration with leading backup software solutions.
