Nimble Storage - Fast / Efficienct iSCSI Storage
     
 

Nimble Storage is one of the new pioneers in iSCSI storage. Nimble's approach is based on the concept of converged storage, backup, and disaster recovery. Their unqiue solution replaces an enterprise’s expensive high-RPM drives with a hybrid architecture that combines high-performance SSD drives with low-cost, high-density SATA or NL-SAS drives.

As a leading Nimble Storage Partner, Scale Datacom can tailor a complete solution around their product offering that will put Nimble's unique architecture to work for you.
   
 
  Nimble Storage Benefits:
"But I already have an iSCSI solution..."
Not Like This...
   
Extremely Fast

 

 
  • SSD-Augmented Architecture
    • 18k+ IOPs per 3U Nimble Array
    • SSD's are used as cache, not a tier, allowing Nimble to react
      • far faster to changing IO demands.
  • Writes are aggregated in controller DRAM and laid out in large sequential stripes on the spinning disk
  • A full copy of all data and Snapshots are stored on high-capacity drives in RAID-6 plus hot spare
Extremely Efficient
  • Compression and Variable Block Sizes reduce overall data footprint, allowing you to store far more per array.
    • Greatly reduces power/cooling costs and rack footprnt
  • Nimble's Snapshot engine is among the industry's most space-efficient
    • Allows you to take and retain far more
  • QoS feature allows users to optimize WAN bandwidth for Replication.
 
Unbeatable Value
  • All-Inclusive Feature Licensing
    • All features included in the price of the array
    • Full Suite of SAN and Host-Side Features
    • New features are a no-cost download
  • No one can match Nimble's mix of performance and usable capacity
  • Budget-friendly support pricing

No other iSCSI SAN allows you to store more data and push more IOPs per array for the money.

Nimble is a natural fit for IOPs-intensive environments such as VDI.
