Hybrid Storage Solutions for Server Virtualization

Virtualization has improved the efficiency of how IT deploys server infrastructure and applications. Getting the most out of any virtual environment requires a network storage foundation that can match the speed and flexibility that hypervisors bring to servers and applications. And the storage foundation needs to deliver data protection capabilities that can adapt to your rapidly changing virtual environments.

Nimble Storage integration with VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Citrix XenServer, helps you virtualize critical applications without worrying about performance, scalability, or data protection bottlenecks.

With Nimble Storage you can:

• Meet the demanding performance requirements of critical virtualized applications, such as Microsoft Exchange and SQL Server, with sub-millisecond latencies on reads and writes.
• Save hundreds of gigabytes of capacity and hours of configuration with zero-copy volume cloning and inline data compression.
• Scale your virtualized environment non-disruptively by flexibly adding compute power for higher throughput, flash cache to accommodate growing active data, disks to boost storage capacity, or any combination you need.
• Provision, monitor, and manage storage from virtualization management consoles, such as VMware vCenter, as easily as you do virtual machines and servers.
• Instantly create hypervisor-consistent backups to quickly recover VMs and data stores, and implement affordable disaster recovery.

"We were seeing incredible performance with the Nimble arrays: We pushed them to their max with all that our servers could deliver and they never broke a sweat. We even 'vStorage Motioned' production databases onto it while running intense tests and actually saw a performance gain on those applications." Benjamin Craig
