Overview

The HPE Nimble Storage Adaptive Flash array is truly adaptive. It is designed for both Primary and Secondary flash workloads. It is a Hybrid Flash array for mixed, primary workloads, where cost-efficient flash performance is important. It is a Secondary Flash array for backup and DR while allowing you to put your backup data to work.

HPE Nimble Storage Adaptive Flash Arrays combine a flash-efficient architecture with HPE InfoSight predictive analytics to achieve fast, reliable access to data and 99.9999% guaranteed availability. Your storage investment made today will support you well into the future, thanks to our technology and business-model innovations.

Features

Predictive Analytics

  • The HPE Nimble Storage Adaptive Flash arrays automatically predicts and resolves 86% of problems before you even know there is an issue.
     
  • Transforms the support experience through predictive automation and Level 3 only support.
     
  • Holistic view across the infrastructure stack and resolves problems beyond just storage.
     
  • Simplifies planning with prescriptive forecasts into capacity, performance, and bandwidth requirements.
     
  • Makes infrastructure smarter and more reliable by learning from the installed base.

Radical Simplicity

  • HPE Nimble Storage Adaptive Flash Arrays are simple to deploy configure and manage.
     
  • Deploy flash on-premise, or in the public cloud through common data services across the HPE Nimble Storage family.
     
  • Seamlessly migrate data between all-flash, hybrid-flash, and multi-cloud storage.
     
  • HPE timeless storage is your assurance of business value, no worries today, no worries tomorrow.
     
  • Radically easy to integrate with many ecosystems and has deep integration with VMware, Microsoft applications, Oracle, Veeam, and others.

Flash Performance for Mixed and Mainstream Workloads

  • HPE Nimble Storage Adaptive Flash Arrays have speed and efficiency for mixed workloads with sub-millisecond response and greater efficiency than other hybrid arrays.
     
  • Write to cost-optimized disk at flash speeds through write serialization.
     
  • Dynamic flash caching accelerates reads even as workloads change in real time.
     
  • Assigns and changes the service level of any volume at the click of a button ("Auto Flash", "All Flash", or "Minimal Flash").
     
  • Always-on data reduction delivers up to 5X space savings without performance penalty.

Put Your Backup Data to Work

  • HPE Nimble Storage Adaptive Flash Arrays have secondary storage that does real work: flash performance lets you use your backup data for development/test, QA, analytics, and more.
     
  • Reduces the need for full backups since native application-consistent snapshots and replication plus integration with leading backup software. Speeds synthetic full backups from hours to minutes.
     
  • 99.9999% (six-nines) guaranteed availability. Triple+ Parity RAID tolerates 3 simultaneous drive failures plus additional protection through intra-drive parity.
     
  • Application-granular, FIPS-certified encryption provides secure over-the-wire protection. Enhanced data shredding is built-in.
     
  • Built-in application-consistent snapshots and replication. Integration with leading backup software. Deep integration with Veeam availability software.
