We established technology leadership by introducing the Nimble Predictive Flash2 platform and its two foundational innovations: our Unified Flash Fabric3 and our InfoSight predictive analytics cloud-based management system.
The Nimble Unified Flash Fabric democratizes flash for all enterprise applications by unifying Nimble All Flash arrays and Nimble Adaptive Flash arrays into one managed entity with common data services. Our customers can deploy this single architecture across their entire portfolio of applications to meet performance and cost targets.
At one click, it places and balances an application for optimal performance, data protection, and capacity scaling. It optimizes the cost of capacity, simplifies storage management, and delivers absolute resiliency (measured at 99.9997 percent availability). Nimble InfoSight is like having an elite army of IT experts keeping the infrastructure running perfectly, all the time. Its big-data predictive analytics, cloud-based management, and customer support system radically simplify and speed customers’ IT operations.
Predicting and preventing issues across the infrastructure, InfoSight can quickly resolve complex issues, avert hot spots, and simplify planning — whether in the storage or the surrounding infrastructure. It delivers intuitive and complete visibility through the cloud to optimize system availability and data velocity.
Nimble is the leader in Predictive Flash storage solutions that take advantage of flash, cloud and big data analytics to deliver data velocity to customers.
