Nimble Storage has developed a hybrid storage architecture engineered to address the industry's most pressing storage issues: delivering better performance and capacity at a reasonable price; providing integrated protection with rapid back up and recovery; and, reining in storage complexity. Purpose-built from the ground up, the arrays are based on the company's patented Cache Accelerated Sequential Layout (CASL™) hybrid storage architecture that leverages fast read performance of flash and the cost-effective capacity of hard disk drives. Nimble combines this flash-optimized architecture with Nimble InfoSight™, a cloud based management service that delivers predictive support and operational simplicity through deep data analytics.
