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)

architecture, post-sales support and strategic alliances.

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)

Primary DC

Head office

DR for Primary


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


Managed Services Company

Before Nimble

– Competitor

– ~$14,000/month in datacenter

and rack charges

– 2 racks for storage only

– Expandability is only possible

within the head unit maximum

capabilities


Managed Services Company

With Nimble

– 2x CS460G-X2

– ~$3,500/month in datacenter and

rack charges

– 6U of rack space for storage only

– Expandability is easily obtained

with adding expansion shelves or

multiple systems Nimble CS460-X2


Eliminating Backup Storage Tiers

All that storage being replaced by

CS260G (3U, 500W)

Month of data retained for backups

1,500 snapshots taken and stored,

replacing 2 x DDs

“Of all the backup vendors on this Magic Quadrant, CommVault has been the most vocal and articulate about the future of backup…”

“It has a mature source and target-side deduplication, with the industry's only deduplication-to-tape support.”

“Broad support for server virtual environments includes granular backup/recovery from applications running in a VM.”

INDUSTRY VALIDATION COMMVAULT POSITIONED IN THE “LEADERS” QUADRANT

Deduplication

Source or target block-level deduplication

Rapid touch incremental forever protection for files/VM’s

Content-aligned algorithm adapts to data types to maximize dedupe rates

Datacenter or WAN optimized mode to reduce client impact

Variable deduplication option

Integrated compression, encryption and key management with no impact to deduplication rates

Gridstor Technology

Global parallel deduplication across Media Agents

Automatic load balancing and failover of backups

Job prioritization and pre-emption optimizes use of resources

Hyper-V IntelliSnap Support Description Benefits

Use Hardware snapshots to support multiple recovery points and reduce backup workload on the Hyper-V nodes Multiple Persistent Recovery Copies per

day Use VSS to quiesce the VMs with minimal impact

Use Proxy server to create daily backup copy Reduce the backup workload on the Hyper-V nodes.

Multiple Recovery Options Full VM or File Level Recovery, whether in-place or out-of-place

Integrated with Live Migration Backup cycle is preserved even though VMs can move from one Hyper-V node to another
