Overall Satisfaction with HPE Nimble Storage

We use HPE Nimble storage arrays in 5 different datacenters for our virtualized environments. They provide fibre channel block storage and datacenter to datacenter replication.
  • Infosight gives great information for executives and technicians alike.
  • Interface is simple
  • Reliable
  • multi-protocol implimentation
  • cost per feature
  • ROI achieved by not needing a Storage Engineer due to simplicity
  • Not able to provide NAS protocols (NFS, SMB)
As far as performance, they are all very similar now regarding IOPS but Nimble is a nice and easy product. Only thing it lacks is the multiprotocol. Upgrades are easy to deploy.
