VDI Storage Solutions

Nimble Storage hybrid arrays are ideally suited for virtual desktop (VDI) environments based on VMware View and Citrix XenDesktop. With a flexible mix of flash and disk storage, Nimble Storage systems provide:

• Adaptive Performance. Maintain a consistent user experience regardless of activity spikes, boot storms, or anti-virus scans.
• Efficient Capacity. Inline compression and zero-copy clones reduce footprint by 30 to 75 percent.
• Integrated Data Protection. Capacity-efficient snapshots eliminate backup windows and provide WAN-efficient replication for DR and failover..
• Application-Consistent Management. Pre-validated VDI reference architectures with VMware, Citrix, and Cisco reduce risk and accelerate deployments.
