Nimble Storage Data Protection Solutions

Nimble Storage eliminates the need for separate primary storage, backup, and disaster recovery systems. Using efficient point-in-time backup snapshots, Nimble Storage systems efficiently protect and restore data and create application- and VM-consistent backups in minutes.

With Nimble Storage, you can efficiently replicate volumes to a secondary array, transferring only compressed snapshot backup data to a secondary site—without needing additional hardware or software licenses. This means disaster recovery is affordable and easy to manage. In fact, Nimble Storage's installed base replicates over 50 percent of hosted workloads, substantially higher than the industry average.

Application and VM Integration for Backup and Restore

Nimble Storage systems are deeply integrated with VMware vCenter and Microsoft VSS. Instant backups can be taken from vCenter and Microsoft Windows, and application data or virtual machines can be restored without needing to go through prolonged checkpoints or recovery procedures. Also, Nimble Storage integration with VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM) automates disaster recovery by providing failover and failback support.

Nimble Storage is also the first storage array to be certified through CommVault's IntelliSnap Connect Program (ICP), which integrates native Nimble Storage snapshot functionality in to CommVault Simpana software. This integration allows you to take efficient and consistent backups of a variety of applications such as Microsoft Exchange, and VMware vSphere using native Nimble snapshots. You can also store months' worth of backups online. This integration also brings CommVault's cataloging capabilities and granular recovery of data to Nimble Storage backup snapshots.

"What that means for me is that I can take one snapshot a day, or 100 snapshots a day — it doesn't matter. Regardless of the number, my storage consumption for those snapshots is going to be virtually the same. But the clincher is that I can provide almost continuous data availability to my developers."
