Limitations of Alternative Solutions
Existing storage arrays are single-minded in purpose: SAN or NAS, block or file, structured or unstructured content, primary or nearline. Due to limited bandwidth and high network latency, they are also vastly oversubscribed, hampering application performance and limiting scalability. In total cost of ownership, existing systems fall short, burdening IT budgets with soaring energy costs and endless software fees.

Storage Evolved: Nimbus H-class
Nimbus H-class storage systems set a new standard, boldly offering unified storage and multiple storage tiers in one easily expandable storage solution. They provide next-generation networking, expansion, and acceleration technology to deliver ample bandwidth and I/O performance to hungry virtual machines, server applications, and network users. Nimbus H-class systems also become more efficient over time, reducing hardware and energy costs as capacity is added and eliminating software fees entirely.

Nimbus H-class storage systems:

• Reduce storage expansion costs by 40% compared to clustered iSCSI arrays
• Reduce hardware and software costs by 50% compared to iSCSI-only arrays
• Increase bandwidth by over 24x compared to clustered iSCSI arrays
• Deliver a 50x improvement in access times for I/O-intensive applications
• Reduce operating costs by 70% compared to separate SAN and NAS arrays
• Leverage Ethernet to simplify IT management throughout the enterprise
