Each configuration offers high availability through redundant, hot-swappable controllers, power supplies, fans and drives and comprehensive resiliency capabilities. The CS-Series is available in two configurations: CS220 (effective capacity 9TB primary and 108TB for 60-90 days of integrated backup), and CS240 (effective capacity 18TB primary and 216TB backup). "At Nimble, we've shown that primary storage, backup, and disaster recovery can come together as part of a cost-effective, fully realized enterprise-wide storage strategy."ĬS-Series System Configurations and Availability IT staff are tapped, and many say they don't have time and budget to deploy a disaster recovery solution," said Varun Mehta, CEO and co-founder of Nimble Storage. "After extensive research and interviews with customers we discovered a common theme: the cost and complexity of storage and backup are exhausting resources in the enterprise. In addition, rich monitoring and reporting capabilities simplify troubleshooting and ongoing administration.
Using predefined application and data protection policies, new volumes can be created and fully protected in three simple steps. The intuitive user interface of the CS-Series eliminates the complexity of provisioning and managing separate storage, backup, and disaster recovery devices. Because the remote replicas are exact copies of primary storage, clients and applications can rapidly and seamlessly fail over to the remote array if a disaster occurs - eliminating the need to restore primary storage data from a backup, significantly improving RPOs and RTOs, and minimizing lost revenue. In multiple market trials under a variety of real-world deployments, Nimble Storage's solution has delivered up to 20 times the speed and efficiency of conventional SAN replication. With CASL, WAN-efficient offsite replication moves data to a remote storage array, transferring highly compressed, incremental block changes that require only an inexpensive low-bandwidth connection. Nimble Storage's CASL architecture not only reduces the cost and complexity of primary storage and backup, but also provides an effective, immediately deployable solution for quick disaster recovery. Unique Integration of Storage, Backup, and Disaster Recovery "With Nimble, I can streamline my infrastructure so that I no longer have to silo storage from backup and disaster recovery. "Nimble Storage's breakthrough architecture will have a profound impact on the IT organization, on par with the server virtualization revolution," said Dave Conde, IT Director at eMeter. The CS-Series is optimized for interoperability with Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SQL Server, VMware, and Microsoft HyperV environments. In addition, built-in application integration through the Nimble Protection Manager enables simplified application and VM-consistent backups for Microsoft and VMware environments. Instant, capacity-optimized snapshots on SATA drives enable storage administrators to store 90 days of backups on a single, converged storage and backup device, overcoming the limitations of existing approaches that require large amounts of expensive primary storage capacity. The Nimble CS-Series addresses the burgeoning time requirements and associated costs of enterprise backup. "Nimble Storage's approach of utilizing flash and SATA in a way that combines primary storage and snapshot-based backup in a single solution, dramatically lowers equipment costs, reduces backup and restore times from hours to seconds, and streamlines processes." "Backup and recovery is a 'top 3' pain point for most organizations since data protection processes and infrastructure can be complex and costly," said Lauren Whitehouse, senior analyst with analyst firm Enterprise Strategy Group. CASL allows organizations to reduce their capital expenditures for storage and backup by at least 60 percent, while eliminating the need for separate, disk-based backup. The CS-Series is based on the company's patent-pending architecture, Cache Accelerated Sequential Layout (CASL™), which enables fast inline data compression, intelligent data optimization leveraging flash memory and high-capacity disk, instant deduped backups, and WAN efficient replication - all in a single device. Designed by former NetApp and Data Domain executives Varun Mehta and Umesh Maheshwari, the CS-Series dramatically reduces the cost and complexity of primary and backup storage, cuts backup and restore times from hours to seconds, and provides a complete, cost-effective disaster recovery solution. San Jose, CA-(Marketwire) - Nimble Storage, developer of the first converged storage and backup solution, today announced the release of the Nimble CS-Series, the industry's first converged iSCSI storage, backup and disaster recovery solution.
