What is most valuable?
The way that it optimizes the hot data versus cold data is really what Nimble does super well.How has it helped my organization?
We want rock solid stability, making sure all of our customers have complete 100 percent uptime, which is our goal. Nimble achieves that pretty well. InfoSight is a regular part of our weekly routine… more»What needs improvement?
I would like deduplication by default on all the volumes. I still don't understand (or know why) dedupe isn't enabled for the templates out-of-the-box. We have to go in and manually enable it each and… more»If you previously used a different solution, which one did you use and why did you switch?
