Overall Satisfaction with HPE Nimble Storage
We are using Nimble for our high end applications run on VMware. It is used for all virtual machines running all company applications, citrix farms, sql servers, web applications, and file servers. The entire organization uses it. We consider it our mission critical array to deliver availability and performance.
- Performance. At 30,000+ IOPS our applications run lightning fast
- Availability. We haven't really run into any major issue. But minor issues automatically create support incidents with Nimble support, and I get call immediately. Very cool!
- Ease of management. Using pre-set templates and access controls when provisioning volumes makes it very easy to setup new volumes.
- We haven't really experienced any cons at this time. I'm sure there are, but none that we have observed or been frustrated with.
- It has turned managing storage into a walk-in-the-park. Does not require full time labor to manage which increases the ROI greatly.
I've used Dell Equallogic, Infortrend, Drobo, and Qnap. These products just aren't in the same league with exception to maybe Equallogic. Equallogic is enterprise grade and very good, but frankly still doesn't even compare to Nimble.
