Flash Performance for Every Mainstream Application
Nimble Storage Adaptive Flash Arrays The Nimble Adaptive Flash array is the industry’s only predictive hybrid flash array. It combines a flash-optimized architecture with InfoSight™ Predictive Analytics — giving you the fastest, most reliable access to data. Backed by Nimble’s Timeless Storage ™ , there is no need to pay for optional software and forklift upgrades are a thing of the past.
Speed with Efficiency
Purpose-built flash architecture delivers sub-ms performance with unparalleled efficiency. And it’s five times faster than other hybrid solutions.
Adaptive Service Levels
Assign, or change, the service level of an application at the click of a button.
- Auto Flash: High performance for mainstream applications
- All Flash: Guaranteed flash performance for the most performance sensitive applications
- Minimal Flash: Optimized for lowest cost of capacity
Independently grow the capacity and performance of an array and scale the amount of flash to suit any application. Scale-out to petabytes at sub millisecond latency with up to 4 arrays managed as one.
Absolute Resiliency
- 99.9997% measured availability through predictive analytics and “no single point of failure” hardware and software design.
- Triple+ Parity RAID: Tolerate three simultaneous drive failures plus additional protection from intra-drive parity.
- SmartSecure encryption: Application-granular, FIPS-certified encryption, and secure data shredding provides end-to-end security for data at rest and on-the-wire when replicated offsite.
Simple to Manage
- Storage is pre-configured and optimized for applications out-of-the-box. Tasks like selecting RAID-level, media layout, aggregations and reserves are no longer required. Initial configuration and set-up can be completed in less than two hours. Routine storage management operations can be completed in minutes.
- Manage storage at VM-level granularity using VMware vVols or through a vCenter plugin.
- Integration and certification with major hypervisors, applications, and infrastructure components.

1. CS1000, CS3000, and CS5000 support scale up to any model within the CS family. CS1000H supports scale
up to the CS3000H.
2. The CS1000H consists of up to 22 HDDs and 2 DFCs (Dual Flash Carriers). All other CS Series models
consists of up to 21 HDD drives and 3 DFCs (holding up to 6 SSDs).
4. Raw, usable, and effective capacities are shown in TB (10^12) and TiB (2^40 bytes). Usable and effective
capacities take into account space used for parity, spares, SSD cache, and system overhead.
5. Effective capacity is a range from minimum in the base array to maximum in the array plus expansion
shelves. Assumes data reduction of two to one (2X) from compression.
6. Each array controller has 2x 10GbE ports built in. Optional ports are 1GbaseT, 10GbaseT or 10GbE SFP+.
