HPE Nimble Storage
It is appropriate for the high data storage solution. It is quite faster than the other storage devices available in the market. It is used as a storage device in the database to increase its query speed. It can easily store the medical computation and operational data for easily available to all users.

If you are looking for a backup infrastructure which is efficient and compatible for both file system and block level backup, then HPE StoreOnce is a great choice. It's easy to configure and easy to manage. We didn't have to hire a separate storage expert to set up StoreOnce for us. The HPE team helped our system admins and it was a easy to configure.

Pros
HPE Nimble Storage
- HP Nimble is basically an all in one SAN with SSD cache or in some cases fully SSD based however the thing it does the best is its front end GUI and user management capability making it easy for anyone to ramp up on managing it quickly.
- The Nimble SAN is also very easily managed when it comes to hardware management. Outside of some major internal parts such as the mainboard, almost everything in the system is duplicated so single failures never bring the system down. Power supplies and drives are easily swapped out.
- Nimble has incredibly capable and easily accessible support that is available 24/7.
- The price point on Nimble, though higher than piecing together a home made SAN out of spare Windows Servers, is perfect even for some SMB's.

- We really like the deduplication feature of HPE StoreOnce. It helps reduce storage footprint by 1:3 to 1:10 depending on type of files being stored.
- It's easy to manage files on HPE StoreOnce servers using command line options.
- We use Veeam Backup Server software to manage our backups on HPE StoreOnce.

Cons
HPE Nimble Storage
- I'd like the GUI to include more information for some of the features such as replication data totals each night. You have to go to the command line for this.
- It would be nice to have a feature built into the GUI that would show you the command line equivalent to get the same results you are seeing in the GUI.
- Although the intial setup was easy, they could always improve on that portion. During my setup, I did have to do a lot of back and forth with research on their site as to what each setting was that I was setting up. They could have provided some sort of description for each field within the setup that would have made it easier to know what they were having us set up.

Nimble is doing its job well and any issues that do come up cause the Nimble support team to alert us before we would potentially see an impact to our production environment. I do wish we could expand into the unused space in the CS210 shelf which is limited by what I assume is a marketing/sales strategy, but we will likely add shelves moving forward.

Any time I have had to contact support, they have always been quick to respond, and very efficient in resolving any issues. When an action has been required on our side for a fix, they have been very helpful in explaining step by step what was required, and when replacement parts have been needed, we've had them within 24 hours.

Alternatives Considered
HPE Nimble Storage
The Main reason for choosing HPE Nimble Hybrid storage is the Cost. However, even though its not ALL Flash Storage it was still providing the high performance, Latency less than 2 ms, good compression and de-duplication, zeop downtime on software upgrade, good reporting through infosight etc. with all these pros, it didn't make sense to invest on a ALL flash storage thats costs 3 time higher than nimble

Return on Investment
HPE Nimble Storage
- 100% uptime 4 years and counting in a 24/7 environment.
- Long hardware support lifecycle, with extremely affordable maintenance renewal plans that provide real value.
- Nimble has been the most cost-effective SAN solution I have ever deployed.
- The inital costs, ongoing maintenance, and administration requirements were all 50% less than EMC and NetApp.

- While not completely eliminating tape, it has relegated the use of tape to monthly and annual backups for compliance. It has reduced the recurring expense of tape media.
- It has increased the length of the retention period because of its efficiency in storing backups.
- The online backup repositories are now replicated to the secondary datacenter, a capability not possible with tapes.
