The installation is straightforward. The whole implementation took use approximately one day.

It is a straightforward solution to set up. 

The product's deployment process is carried out perfectly from HPE's end. My company receives a good support mechanism from HPE. Whatever commitments my company has made to our customers in terms of SLA, we are able to achieve that SLA with the help of HPE's installation and implementation team.

One project manager, two infrastructure engineers, and two network engineers can manage the solution's deployment.

The solution can be deployed in two weeks.

The solution is deployed on the cloud and on an on-premises model.

It was all fantastic because HPE came out and built and deployed the entire environment. Configuration was very easy because we didn't have to do anything. HPE aided it all.

I'd rate its setup a ten out of ten in terms of ease because we didn't have to do anything. All we did was pay for HPE to come on-site and build everything. It took two weeks.

I rate Nimble Storage seven out of 10 for ease of setup. It's relatively straightforward. We've deployed it ourselves, but we had professional services do it a few times. It went smoothly both ways. Deployment takes about a week. 

Setting up Nimble is easy. It takes five minutes. You run "Setup" and that is it. Put an IP on and it's ready to go.

The installation of HPE Nimble Storage is not complex because I was one of the engineers who did the installations. We have not had many challenges while installing the HPE Nimble Storage. 

HPE Nimble Storage has a controller and we are using active and passive modes. It would be great a great benefit to have an active, active mode.

The initial setup was fairly straightforward. However, we did need to ask some questions to understand how they do the LANs and other technical details of it. There were no major stumbling blocks.

The initial setup wasn't particularly difficult.

We simply migrated storage volumes from the EqualLogic's, had new ones built in the nimble array, and shifted everything over. There was nothing out of the ordinary.

It does not require a lot of maintenance.

The SAN setup itself was simple and easy. The biggest challenge we had was in changing our network to accommodate turning off Spanning Tree Protocol for that segment.

The initial setup was straightforward. We estimated, in the beginning, that we could do it over the weekend, and it went as we planned. We didn't see any issues.

It’s pretty simple to set up. It’s not overly complex or difficult. I’m still earning it. However, it looks simple.

The Nimble deployment took maybe two to three weeks. I'm sure there was even education from the team. It was new to the team. Obviously, to get that sorted, it took a while as it's like a new greenfield. You start from zero, and then with time, it comes together. Now, they’d likely do it in a quicker time as they know the solution.

The set up is very straightforward, and everything was smooth. Our cluster was managed, and we didn't have any issues.

We have never done any maintenance for the last four years, and even the power supply has been working fine. Everything has been in good condition for four years.

The initial setup was straightforward. It is a lot of plug and play. Although, there was a diagram of instructions, which was maybe one sheet long. So, it was easy. A lot of that stuff was already ready for me.

The initial setup was straightforward. The initial setup took a little bit over a week because we were in the learning phase. 

We have other arrays, like VNX or HDS from Hitachi. Complexity-wise, this product (Nimble) is simpler and nimbler to set up.

I'm based out of Southern California. We first implemented it in Virginia, so I flew in to meet an engineer to complete it. By the time I had flown in and got to the data center, he was already done. I expected it to take several hours but it was more like an hour, and most of that hour was unpacking it out of the box.

Compared to EMC, you can't install EMC's products yourself, and it's days of implementation.

The initial setup is simple. HPE makes every deployment simple and easy to integrate. It takes us two to three hours to deploy the product because everything is connected over the internet. We need internet connectivity for the deployment.

The initial setup is always easy. It was easy before it was part of HPE, so I am happy that they took this with them.

The initial setup was incredibly simple. It was up and running within half an hour.

Setup was very straightforward. That was one of the things we liked about it most.

Straightforward and very easy, as always.

The product’s initial setup is straightforward. The initial setup was done by HPE. We manage the solution’s storage and maintenance.

It was on track, but I have problems with the next servicer. For example, I have a new device and it needs to connect to Nimble. 

The solution has an easy initial setup. It was straightforward. We didn't find it to be complex. You don't need advanced knowledge, or to be an expert.

Deployment is pretty quick and takes just 25 minutes. It's really quite fast.

We had three team members deploy the solution. They also maintain it. They were all part of the administration team.

The initial setup of this solution was a lot more straightforward than we thought it was going to be.

The setup was very straightforward, and the best part of Nimble is you don't need to have any more storage administrative policy, i.e., even the regular user, like the Windows administrator, can also manage the storage boxes. That's the beauty of Nimble.

The setup was very straightforward. It was the quickest array I've ever set up in my life. Other systems, I sometimes spent a month getting them up and configured. With help from support and technicians onsite, my SE from Nimble came out, I had it up and running in 10 minutes and moved production loads over to it.

They gave us so many options of what we wanted to do. What had happened was because of the company that they were replacing, was one of those big iron-type companies, so they really wanted to just have a picture with their appliance next to ours. Nimble Storage came out and they racked everything for me; they plugged it in, they did all the setup and said, "Here it is. Here's your password. Go ahead and start carving out some volumes." Within probably an hour, I already had my first volumes already mapped and masked to the posts, all ready to go.

It was straightforward looking back. At the time it seemed difficult, but it was almost all networking and VMware work. It seemed difficult because we weren’t used to iSCSI. It’s really not that much different from Fiber Channel when you really look at it.

The initial setup is very easy.

The initial setup was straightforward. The platform is fairly intuitive with standardized SCSI configuration and it was up and running. The product was very self-explanatory so we were able to move it into production very fast.

The initial setup is very straightforward. I set up one last week, and you plug in your basic information for the array: The name and IPs, then you add it to your group, defining where you want it to point to. It's simple. It took me about 10 minutes to get everything up and rolling with the new HF.

The setup was very straightforward.

Quick to set up and configure.

The initial setup was very straightforward.

The initial setup was straightforward because we have a rep who we have dealt with for six to seven years.

The setup was approximately an hour-long process, almost like a one-button process. It was just so easy. Compared to most things that I have ever installed, it was simple and amazingly easy.

It was very simple and fast. It only took three hours, including racking, to set everything up.

The initial setup was very easy. I don't even know if we had to look at documentation, except in the very beginning, where we have to consult in. The solution provided what we needed to set it up.

I was involved in the initial setup, and it was probably a little complex if you never set up any kind of storage system like that. Other than that, it wasn't too bad.

The initial setup was very simple and after one day of education, all technical staff were comfortable with the platform.

Initial setup was fairly straightforward. Some understanding of Nimble’s network architecture is required.

When we first started speaking to Nimble, they sent us two trial devices so we could truly perform a PoC that matched our planned deployment. They also sent a senior engineer along for a day to assist us in setting it up. The engineer ended up not really being needed as the array setup is very simple. There are two methods, both shown to us by the engineers.

Since the initial setup, all arrays have been configured by my in-house technicians and usually an array is fully configured, and up and running within half an hour (this doesn’t include time to get it in our racks and patched). After accidentally shipping our arrays to the wrong sites, we were able to easily and remotely talk others through the reconfiguration.

Initial setup can be done using a Nimble setup client or via the console in about 5 easy steps.

The initial setup was very simple and after one day of education all tech staff were comfortable with the platform.

The initial setup of this solution is very straightforward.

The setup was straightforward. It wasn't hard. I came from the background of NetApp. Compared to NetApp, it was really easy. It’s pretty easy to configure and easy to set up the volumes. It’s really good. It was more user friendly than NetApp.

Initial setup was extremely easy. There was a Windows app for initial configuration to get the SAN configured on the network for management, and then subsequent work (volume creation, snapshot schedules, etc) is all web based and extremely easy.

It was easy.

Biggest problem was fitting the arrays into the racks – need to bend the rails (shoe or hammer required). Fixed in the latest models.

Took less than 30 minutes to get up and running and connected to our servers.

It was easy, but I've been doing it for twenty years. I'm not worried about that. 

The initial setup is always complex, however, it is manageable. Of course, it could always be a bit easier in the future. 

The initial deployment is pretty fast and takes less than a week.

A company would typically need one or two engineers for deployment and maintenance tasks. 

I did not set it up myself, but based on conversations with some of our solution architects, it seems like it's a straightforward setup: out-of-the-box and easy to deploy.

The setup was very, very simple. When we got our AF5000, no kidding, we had it up in production within two hours. If we were to take the similar setup, with the EMC VMAX, it took us over three months. Big difference.

The setup was very easy, it was a matter of a couple of hours.

The solution's initial setup is straightforward. But its complexity depends on specific requirements. The deployment process takes three months to complete.

The initial setup was straightforward once the decision of connectivity is made.

Setup was super simple compared to every other storage array I’ve used. Tips are easily accessible. Nimble’s forum, “Connect”, is very active and useful. The guides/wizards to create volumes and grant access were thorough.

Initial setup was very straightforward. In fact, you can set up the product in just 30 minutes, as long as everything is ready; the checklist, etc.

Straightforward. The most difficult part was connecting the iSCSI to the switches in a HA fashion. Nimble engineers provided great support in the setup. The planning documentation provided by Nimble simplified the setup. The software upgrade was very easy to complete to get the new array up to date.

The initial setup is straightforward. You connect the array to the network and power it up. You then run the Nimble Setup Manager which will detect the array on the network and allow you to complete an initial configuration. Once that is done you can then use the Web UI to finalize the configuration.

The initial setup is very simple, and in fact, the simplest of these solutions.

It takes approximately four hours to deploy including hooking up power, cabling, getting it set up on the rack, and configuration.

I was involved in the initial setup. We had a sales engineer come in, but he pretty much sat there and said, "Click here, click there." It was incredibly easy to set up.

Everything is complex for us because we're an MSP with so many different customers who all have different, weird requirements. Nothing is ever simple for us, but Nimble was no more complex than anything else we have had to deploy for our customers.

I was involved in the initial setup. It was very straightforward.

I was involved in the setup and it was very fast.

Very straightforward, up in running and in testing first day.

Straighforward setup.

The setup is by far the most straightforward setup I have ever worked with in the SAN space.

Updates are very easy to do when the customer is connected to the internet. This is also the case with InfoSight if the customer is connected. 

We used sub-contractors for the initial setup but saw that the process was relatively simple. As with all technologies, there are many different ways of configuring the devices depending on intended usage. We found that we changed some things as we progressed through the implementation. Overall, the implementation has been relatively painless.

The initial setup was straightforward and took about two weeks to complete.

The setup was the easiest thing I've ever done in my life. We had it unboxed, uncrated, racked, and connected to VMware in probably two hours, tops.

Initial setup is very straightforward. Nimble helped us install the first array during the PoC and we installed the rest of the system.

Very straightforward, no difficulties at all.

It was very straightforward. The initial setup can be completed in less than hour as long as all of the network configurations have been completed.

The initial setup is easy.

The initial setup was very easy, but we are used to installing storage systems. We have been a storage seller for many years, around 25 years. So it's getting easier and easier.

The deployment takes about one hour. It takes more time to build it in the racks and link the cabling, but the rest is very easy.

The installation is straightforward.

The initial setup is very easy. It's not very complex or hard to do. If a company needs to set it up, it can do so with very little difficulty.

The initial setup is not complex at all. You can set it up in just a few minutes.

The initial setup was pretty straightforward.

Setup was straightforward; intuitive.

The initial setup is simple compared to other solutions and it took approximately one month.

In terms of the initial setup, while it is quite easy for the fiber connection, I recall for the ISS connection it was quite complex.

The initial setup itself only took about one day. It didn't take too long. 

Really simple.Nimble asks you various questions about IP addresses and then you get a pre-installation checklist. If you didn’t have a clue they’d guide you on the phone initially and then do a WebEx session to get you there. Simple.

Setup was relatively simple, even with the very first Bonjour installer.

The initial setup is very easy.

In the past we've always gone for secondary and tertiary units, so it's kind of been starting from scratch. This time, the disk shelf, we haven't done it yet, but it's supposed to be as simple as plugging it in and clicking on go. Hopefully, it will be.

The setup was straightforward.

The initial setup was straightforward. We were able to implement it quite quickly.

It's very simple but requires you to be accurate, but this is how it is for any product..

We have a team of five to maintain this product.

Simple, it can be setup and ready to use within the same business day of delivery.

I wasn't involved in the initial set up.
