Nimble Storage Debuts as a Visionary on Magic Quadrant
On the Magic Quadrant for General-Purpose Disk Arrays
Improvements in scalability, availability, performance and functionality of midrange
storage systems have blurred the boundaries between network- attached, midrange and
high-end storage systems. This Magic Quadrant will help IT leaders understand storage
vendors' strategies and market strengths.
Nimble Storage was recognized as a visionary based on its
innovative Cache Accelerated Sequential Layout (CASL)

Toronto Customer - Before
Had Competitor’s SANs implemented in two sites, with limited
replication for DR due to bandwidth and space requirements
Looking to increase storage capacity of existing SAN
Power/cooling costs are part of decision (hosted at co-lo)

After
Replaced 6 shelves across 2 sites, with 2 total
Power costs reduced by $1000/month (this is for one
site only as it is not measured at second site)
Storage capacity increased by 2x
Performance increased by 5x +
DR improved – increased number of VMs protected and
frequency of protection
