Data Protection and Disaster Recovery
The Nimble Storage Predictive Flash Platform efficiently delivers the benefits of primary storage, backup, and disaster recovery systems in an all-inclusive package to provide the ideal foundation for comprehensive data protection. And with InfoSight predictive analytics, you can be confident that your data protection strategy is working as expected through intuitive dashboards and proactive notifications in case of issues.
Simplified Data Protection Management
Nimble Storage provides high-performing and array-based data protection capabilities that have been integrated with leading third-party offerings to reduce operational complexity and simplify data protection management.
Superior Efficiency and Performance
Nimble Flash arrays deliver the IOPS and low latency to speed and improve data protection strategies. Efficient array-based snapshots, replication and cloning reduces load on servers and upstream resources, while deep integration with backup software improves administrator efficiency.
Predictive Flash Availability
Nimble InfoSight predictive analytics and Flash arrays comprise the storage industry's only Predictive Flash platform, providing proactive monitoring plus fast backup, replication and recovery. Infosight anticipates and prevents nine out of ten problems automatically, ensuring over 99.9999% availability.
Data Protection:
Key Benefits
- Get instant backups and fast restores
- Eliminate additional server and network load
- Simplify management with leading ecosystem vendor tools
Using efficient point-in-time array snapshots, Nimble Storage systems efficiently protect months-worth of data in the storage systems themselves, reducing the load on server, network, and storage resources. And with InfoSight predictive analytics, you can get proactive alerts at multiple levels of the snapshot process in case of any issues, to ensure that your data protection plan is operating as expected.
Hypervisor and Application Integration
Nimble Storage systems are deeply integrated with VMware vCenter and Microsoft VSS. Instant backups can be taken from vCenter and Microsoft Windows, and application data or virtual machines can be restored without needing to go through prolonged checkpoints or recovery procedures.

CommVault Simpana Integration
Nimble Storage is the first storage array to be certified through CommVault’s IntelliSnap Connect Program (ICP), which integrates native Nimble Storage snapshot functionality with CommVault Simpana software. This integration allows you to take manage Nimble’s snapshots through CommVault Simpana software, and use Simpana’s cataloging and granular recovery capabilities.
Disaster Recovery:
Key Benefits
- Ensure business continuity with efficient array replication
- Easily monitor DR operations across multiple sites
- Simplify orchestration, testing, and recovery
Nimble Storage systems can efficiently replicate volumes to another array at a recovery site by transferring changed blocks of compressed snapshot data without additional hardware or software licenses. This means disaster recovery is fast, affordable, and easy to manage.
Nimble Storage InfoSight not only helps you make sure that replication is operating as expected across sites, but also helps you plan for replication bandwidth as well.
VMware Site Recovery Manager Integration
Integration with VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM) leverages Nimble’s array replication to simplify DR setup, orchestration, testing, and recovery. It provides full failover and failback support through SRM.
