Nimble Storage is shipping the industry's first completely converged
primary iSCSI storage, backup and disaster appliance for midrange or
larger enterprises. Nimble Storage CS-Series iSCSI storage arrays
combine flash memory with low-cost, high-capacity drives, eliminating
the need for expensive, high-RPM drives for primary storage and
separate disk-based backup solutions.
By converging storage, backup, and disaster recovery into a single
solution, enterprises can significantly cut costs, reduce complexity and
implement a complete disaster recovery solution. Based on Nimble’s
breakthrough CASL™ architecture, CS-Series arrays give enterprises
the functionality, performance, and capacity of three primary storage
and one backup devices in a single solution.
60%+ Lower Capex By eliminating high-RPM drives and separate disk-based backup
devices, Nimble Storage slashes infrastructure costs, energy
consumption, and rack space requirements. Enterprises can
save more than 60% off the cost of multiple-component
solutions from existing storage vendors.
Primary Storage, Backup/Restore and Disaster Recovery Solution
CS Series - CS210, CS220, CS220G, CS240,
CS240G and the CS260, CS260G
Flash-Accelerated Primary Storage Performance Intelligent flash memory management and application-optimized
performance profiles significantly accelerate I/O and reduce
latency, making Nimble CS-Series arrays ideal for demanding
primary storage applications such as Microsoft Exchange,
business-critical databases, and Microsoft SharePoint.
Instant Backups and Restores High-density drives and 20x capacity optimization enable
cost-effective retention of up to 90 days of backups on a single
array. There’s no need to move data to or from tape or other
backup media, so backups and restores can be performed in
seconds.
Application-Integrated Data Protection Nimble Protection Manager (NPM) manages
application-consistent backups for all application data
residing on Nimble arrays, plus VM system-consistent
backups and replicas for virtualized environments. With
NPM, data can be instantly restored from any available
backup, accelerating and simplifying application recovery.
Fast Offsite Disaster Recovery Nimble makes disaster recovery fast and cost-effective for
every enterprise. Nimble’s DR solution is enabled by highly
WAN-efficient replication to an offsite Nimble array, making it
up to 20x faster than typical SAN replication.
Dramatically Simplified Management Designed for the IT generalist, an intuitive UI eliminates the
complexity of managing separate storage, backup, and disaster
recovery devices. Using predefined application and data
protection policies, new volumes can be created and protected
in just three simple steps.
Unparalleled Reliability Nimble Storage arrays are designed from the ground up to
deliver the reliability and high availability that today’s
business-critical applications demand. All Nimble arrays feature
fully redundant hardware components, plus high-availability
software and support features such as comprehensive
checksums, proactive data scrubbing, autosupport (email
home), and hardware monitoring
Nimble Protection Manager
All Nimble Storage arrays ship with built-in Nimble Protection Manager (NPM). NPM manages application-consistent backups for all
application data residing on Nimble arrays, plus VM system-consistent backups and replicas for virtualized environments.
With NPM, pre-existing data protection policies (such as snapshot and replication schedules, retention goals, and cross-volume
consistency) can be assigned to groups of data sets, and new policies can be easily created. NPM coordinates with an application to
quiesce I/O, ensuring that the snapshot does not capture any in-progress writes. NPM uses Protection Set schedules to synchronize
the snapshot with the application or virtual machine, enabling the application to immediately use the backup data without
performing any extra recovery steps.
Backup integrity is automatically confirmed using database verification tools at pre-configured schedules. Data can be instantly
restored from any available backup by selecting it from the management user interface, speeding up and simplifying application
recovery. And for testing and development, a snapshot can be cloned instantly and used to verify an application’s compatibility with
the system or to use with a new application.

High-Performance Storage Solutions for Your Specific Needs Business-critical enterprise applications like Microsoft Exchange and collaboration suites like Microsoft Sharepoint demand large and
growing amounts of high-performance, low-latency primary storage. They also require state-of-the-art data protection. But existing
disk-based backup solutions are expensive, and they can result in long backup windows, excessive restore times, and inadequate
disaster recovery protection.
Nimble has developed an entirely new approach to storage that converges storage, backup, and disaster recovery into a single
solution. Nimble’s breakthrough CASL™ architecture is designed from the ground up to leverage flash memory in combination with
high-capacity, low-RPM drives to provide high performance at a low cost. What’s more, WAN-efficient replication enables backup to
a remote Nimble array, giving enterprises of almost any size a complete, cost-effective disaster recovery solution.
