| Nimble Storage
 Nimble Storage has developed an entirely new approach to storage, based on the concept of converged storage, backup, and disaster recovery. Nimble was founded by a team of industry veterans who helped develop groundbreaking primary storage and deduplication
architectures at several market-leading storage companies. The Nimble Storage approach
gives enterprises an innovative storage solution that solves their most pressing IT issues:
reining in storage complexity, reducing costs, and implementing affordable backup and
recovery.
There are two ways technology vendors can embrace innovation. One is to try to bolt new
functionality onto existing legacy architectures. But this approach invariably includes costly
tradeoffs and compromises, and results in very complex solutions. The other approach is to start from scratch. But for most large storage vendors, throwing away everything and starting fresh is not an option. Not only do these vendors need to protect their existing revenue systems, they are also constrained by their “legacy mindset” approach to new innovations.
Only new industry entrants have the luxury of starting with a clean slate freeing them to use revolutionary ways to solve significant industry problems. Nimble Storage has taken this “blank slate” approach to innovation by designing a completely new storage solution from the ground up.
Nimble Storage leverages the following recent advances in storage technology:
- The availability of affordable, high-density flash memory
- The use of cost-effective, high-density, low-RPM drives for primary storage
- Automated data placement technology
- Primary and backup storage capacity optimization
All Nimble Storage solutions are based on a fundamentally different architecture: Cache
Accelerated Sequential Layout (CASL™). The following sections provide a high-level overview of Nimble CASL, describe how it works, and introduce the functionality and benefits it delivers to today’s enterprises.
