SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 22, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Nimble Storage
(NYSE: NMBL), the leader in predictive flash storage, today
announced its AF-Series All Flash arrays were named by
SearchStorage as the All-Flash Systems Product of the Year,
winning Gold in that category. SearchStorage also recognized
the Nimble CS-Series Adaptive Flash arrays with an award in the
Disk and Hybrid Systems category.
Judges selected winners according to innovation, performance,
ease of integration into existing environments, ease of use, and
manageability, functionality and value. This is the 15th
annual Storage magazine/SearchStorage.com Products of the
Year awards.
"When developing our All Flash arrays we aimed to redefine
market expectations. We went back to the drawing board, determined
what was lacking from flash arrays already on the market, and
designed our All Flash arrays to leapfrog them in multiple
dimensions," said Ajay Singh, vice
president of product management at Nimble Storage. "Winning the
2016 Product of the Year Award for All-Flash Systems is validation
of Nimble's commitment to innovation. We thank SearchStorage
for this honor."
The Nimble AF-Series All Flash array offers unparalleled
differentiators including absolute performance, superior
scalability and non-stop availability, at a total cost of ownership
(TCO) that is up to 33 to 66 percent lower than competitive arrays.
The Nimble Predictive Flash platform combines the fast flash
performance of its All Flash and Adaptive Flash arrays with the
power of predictive analytics through InfoSight. By aggregating and
analyzing data across the Nimble installed base, InfoSight
Predictive Analytics identifies and prevents causes of downtime
before they occur. The machine learning capabilities built into the
Nimble Predictive Flash platform have enabled the measured
availability to reach over six-nines (99.9999%) uptime.
In its article on Nimble winning Gold in the All-Flash Systems
category, SearchStorage recognized the predictive analytics
capabilities of InfoSight. "As with its hybrid storage, Nimble
Storage all-flash arrays integrate the vendor's cloud-based
InfoSight Predictive Analytics," Garry
Kranz wrote. "InfoSight correlates billions of data points
to monitor the behavior of virtual machines to pinpoint
potential issues across the infrastructure stack."
Kranz continues, "In rating the AF-Series entry, judges noted
the flexibility that stems from Nimble's flash fabric, which builds
on its Cache Accelerated Sequential Layout (CASL) architecture for
Adaptive Flash hybrid storage."
The Nimble Unified Flash Fabric brings flash to all enterprise
applications by unifying All Flash and Adaptive Flash arrays into a
single consolidation architecture with common data services. With
the Unified Flash Fabric, end-users can reap the benefit of
clustering All Flash arrays with the Adaptive Flash arrays and
manage them as one. Since both arrays run the same NimbleOS,
management and functionality are identical, eliminating the need
for enterprises to choose between All Flash and Adaptive Flash. The
Unified Flash Fabric enables common data services and transparent
application mobility. Applications can be seamlessly and
non-disruptively migrated across All Flash and Adaptive Flash
arrays to meet changing SLAs.
