HPE Nimble Storage Products & Technology Overview:

Struggling to find cost effective flash storage for your primary, secondary, and backup/DR workloads?

The HPE Nimble Storage Adaptive Flash Arrays are like having two flash arrays in one. The array is truly adaptive – designed for both primary and secondary flash workloads. It is a hybrid flash array for mixed, primary workloads where cost-efficient flash performance is important. It can also serve as a secondary flash array for backup and disaster recover (DR) while allowing you to put your backup data to work. The flash-enhanced architecture is combined with HPE InfoSight predictive analytics for fast, reliable access to data and 99.9999% guaranteed availability [1]. Radically simple to deploy and use, the arrays are cloud-ready – providing data mobility to the cloud through HPE Cloud Volumes. Your storage investment made today will support you well into the future, thanks to our technology and businessmodel innovations.

  • Predictive Analytics
    • The HPE Nimble Storage Adaptive Flash Arrays automatically predicts and resolves 86% of problems before you even know there is an issue.

    • Transforms the support experience through predictive automation and Level 3- only support.

    • Holistic view across the infrastructure stack and resolves problems beyond just storage.

    • Simplifies planning with prescriptive forecasts into capacity, performance, and bandwidth requirements.

    • Makes infrastructure smarter and more reliable by learning from the installed base.

  • Radical Simplicity
    • HPE Nimble Storage Adaptive Flash Arrays are simple to deploy configure and manage.

    • Deploy flash on-premise, or in the public cloud through common data services across the HPE Nimble Storage family.

    • Seamlessly migrate data between all-flash, hybrid-flash, and multi-cloud storage.

    • Our timeless storage is your assurance of business value, no worries today, no worries tomorrow.

    • Radically easy to integrate with many ecosystems and has deep integration with VMware®, Microsoft® applications, Oracle®, Veeam, and others.

  • Flash Performance for Mixed and Mainstream Workloads
    • HPE Nimble Storage Adaptive Flash Arrays have speed and efficiency for mixed workloads with sub-millisecond response and greater efficiency than other hybrid arrays.

    • Write to cost-optimized disk at flash speeds through write serialization.

    • Dynamic flash caching accelerates reads even as workloads change in real time

    • Assigns and changes the service level of any volume at the click of a button ("Auto Flash", "All Flash", or "Minimal Flash").

    • Always-on data reduction delivers up to 5X space savings without performance penalty.

  • Put Your Backup Data to Work
    • HPE Nimble Storage Adaptive Flash Arrays have secondary storage that does real work: flash performance lets you use your backup data for development/test, QA, analytics, and more.

    • Reduces the need for full backups since native application-consistent snapshots and replication plus integration with leading backup software. Speeds synthetic full backups from hours to minutes.

    • 99.9999% (six-nines) guaranteed availability. Triple+ Parity RAID tolerates 3 simultaneous drive failures plus additional protection through intra-drive parity

    • Application-granular, FIPS-certified encryption provides secure over-the-wire protection. Enhanced data shredding is built-in.

    • Built-in application-consistent snapshots and replication. Integration with leading backup software. Deep integration with Veeam availability software.

Small, Mighty, and Adaptive
The CS1000/H is small but mighty and can scale from 13TB to over 1.9PB of effective capacity. Both CS1000 and CS1000H can be non-disruptively scaled-up all the way to a CS7000 supporting over 2.3PB of effective capacity. And if that’s not enough, it can nondisruptively scale-out to over 8PB of capacity in a cluster managed as one. Performance can be scaled independently of capacity to flexibly match workload and capacity requirements. Adaptive Flash arrays automatically optimize for capacity and performance, while allowing you to change the service level of any volume at the click of a button.

Speed with Efficiency
Purpose-built flash architecture delivers sub-ms performance with unparalleled efficiency. And it’s five times faster than other hybrid solutions.

Adaptive Service Levels
Assign, or change, the service level of an application at the click of a button.

  • Auto Flash: High performance for mainstream applications
  • All Flash: Guaranteed flash performance for the most performance sensitive applications
  • Minimal Flash: Optimized for lowest cost of capacity

Non-Disruptive Scalability and Flexibility
Independently grow the capacity and performance of an array and scale the amount of flash to suit any application. Scale-out to petabytes at sub millisecond latency with up to 4 arrays managed as one.

Absolute Resiliency

  • 99.9999% measured availability through predictive analytics and “no single point of failure” hardware and software design.
  • Triple+ Parity RAID: Tolerate three simultaneous drive failures plus additional protection from intra-drive parity.
  • SmartSecure encryption: Application-granular, FIPS-certified encryption, and secure data shredding provides end-to-end security for data at rest and on-the-wire when replicated offsite.

Simple to Manage

  • Storage is pre-configured and optimized for applications out-of-the-box. Tasks like selecting RAID-level, media layout, aggregations and reserves are no longer required. Initial configuration and set-up can be completed in less than two hours. Routine storage management operations can be completed in minutes.
  • Manage storage at VM-level granularity using VMware vVols or through a vCenter plugin.
  • Integration and certification with major hypervisors, applications, and infrastructure components.
