CASL Flash-optimized file system software InfoSight Cloud-based management/support

Performance and Capacity Integrated Protection Flash Scaleto-Fit Proactive Wellness

Performance + Capacity Workloads High-Performance Computing Flash on Server Performance Intensive Adaptive Flash Platform Capacity Intensive Cheap and Deep Archival

Flash guarantees the high performance demanded by today s enterprise applications. Disk offers the best capacity per $; ideal for accommodating data growth. Random I/O per $ (30x to 100x over disk) High $ per GB (scaling capacity of flash-only storage is cost inefficient) Low cost per GB Good sequential I/O per $ High write endurance Limited write endurance Scaling performance tied to disk; lots of rack space & cooling needed Nimble storage delivers the best of both worlds

Random write data 4K 16K 4K 8K 16K IN-LINE COMPRESSION 2X data compression Coalesce into a single stripe (~2X) If data is hot, it is cached for fast read Write stripe to disk in 11 IOPS

CASL dynamically caches hot data for fast read performance Active Data >90% Cache Hit Rate Metadata in cache used for fast lookup on disk

CPU-driven architecture» Achieves double the write IOPS of MLC SSD with disk!» No write-performance bottlenecks as with bolt-on flash architectures Write IOPS 10 000 9 000 8 000 7 000 6 000 5 000 4 000 3 000 2 000 1 000 0 7.2K HDD Per MLC SSD 2x CS700 CS4xx CS2xx CASL per 7.2K HDD
