Product information
With her singular Predictive Flash platform Nimble Storage closes the gap between applications and data to ensure extremely high data access. Gain absolute performance, unprecedented scalability and nonstop availability – with a TCO, 33 to 66 percent lower than with other all flash arrays.
The predictive flash platform is based on three main components. Unified Flash Fabric offers scalability exceeding the typical limits of all flash storage – achieving up 8.2 PB of effective capacity.
InfoSight can predict performance issues and eliminate them proactively. Timeless Storage ensures, that customers don't have to buy additional software or expensive hardware upgrades ("forklift upgrades"). With 99.9997% measured uptime these systems prove to be a real high availability solution.
Redundant controllers allow for upgrades without downtime. This also counts for later expansion by JBODs, and even for exchange of controllers to a newer model with higher processor performance. All modular components are redundant and can be exchanged without downtime.
