Inline Compression: Unlike existing architectures that store data
as fixed-size blocks, Nimble CASL stores data as variable-size
blocks, enabling real-time 2-4x data compression with no added
latency
Optimized Data Layout: A copy of active “hot” data is held in
flash memory, enabling fast reads, while all data is stored in
cost-effective, high-capacity disk. Data is laid out sequentially,
enabling fast writes to flash and disk.
Intelligent Index: CASL’s intelligent index automatically tracks
hot data blocks and instantly responds to workload changes.
Instant, Integrated Backups: 60-90 days of compressed,
incremental, snapshots are captured on high-capacity disk at
pre-configured intervals. The snapshots are highly space
efficient, and have zero performance impact on application
performance, allowing frequent recovery points.
Efficient Offsite Replication: Compressed block level changes
are copied to a remote Nimble array for cost-effective disaster
recovery.
