NimbleStorage

If anybody wants to sanity check any pricing they have had for Nimble SANS please shout me.

Happy to help if you have any questions.

If you have - Just interested to see how you're getting on and how the experience has been?

Hi Pantscat What do you have in mind to replace it with?

I am pleased to confirm that Nimble Storage are all booked up (G500) and excited to be at BETT for the first time in January 2014. We very much hope to have the chance to meet as many of the EDU Geek community as possible.

Thx Seawolf. All very good points and useful feedback. Any other takers out there?

Hi Pete What did you go for in the end? And if its been installed how is it going?

Hi all If you were in the market for your first SAN or for a replacement SAN what would be your key requirements and in what order of importance? EG: Performance Simple to set up Easy to manage Future proofed simple scaling First class support Price per TB / Price per IO Total cost of ownership - space / power etc Word of mouth recommendation Interested to see answers and to see if there is a common theme! Many thx

Hi all We are planning to get involved at the next BETT event. Not sure on the next edugeek day - does anyone know when the next edu geek day in the south of the UK will be? thx

Thanks for the kind words Tallwood_6. Welcome to the next generation of easy to use general purpose perfomant storage! Glad all went well.

Thanks Glennda If anyone has any technical questions about Hybrid Storage platforms please feel free to post or DM me and we will do our best to answer them. Hybrid platforms are certainly an exciting but often confusing emerging part of the storage offerings from traditional and some newer vendors.

Having worked for EMC I can't defend the hike up the support tactic! Lots of other options!
