Overall Satisfaction with HPE Nimble Storage
We are using the HPE Nimble Storage array as our secondary (backup) storage array for the corporation. Alongside our backup software, we use the array and software to transfer nightly primary array data to the backup array in a fully hydrated system while utilizing their deduplication to improve storage retention.
- Performance.
- Reporting and monitoring.
- Customer service.
- Technical support.
- HPE purchases have impacted Nimble's sales channels.
- Not as fast as some of the competitors on the market.
- RMC, HPE's backup software is only compatible with other HPE arrays and not universal.
- Reduction of legacy backup systems.
- The decrease in the amount of user intervention to manage and maintain backups.
- Improved SLAs for backup and recovery.
HPE Nimble compares well from a performance and storage perspective. It is easy to manage and maintain and there is adequate support with a 4hr Same Business Day response for parts. The unit is a little larger than AFA from competitors however it fits well in a 4U rack. Pure still has the upper hand when it comes to performance and overall customer service.
