Refurbished HPE Nimble arrays deliver enterprise-grade performance at significantly reduced cost. Choose from all-flash and hybrid SAN options designed for virtualized, database-driven, and backup-heavy workloads.
Every system we sell has been fully dismantled, tested under real-world failure scenarios, and rebuilt with a deep technical understanding - hardware that’s been proven in our lab and backed by our industry leading 3-year warranty.
Our certified Pro Services team supports setup, integration, and remote troubleshooting - ensuring the hardware performs reliably in your environment from day one.
Save up to 80% compared to new HPE Nimble pricing - without compromising on quality. At Intelligent Servers, we back our pricing with a quote match promise on all like-for-like HPE Nimble systems, and support it with expert service from a team that understands your infrastructure priorities.
Founded in 2008, Nimble initially offered hybrid storage arrays (flash + disk) for balanced performance and capacity.
Expanded in 2016 with all-flash arrays (AF Series) for performance-intensive applications.
Acquired by HPE in 2017, Nimble’s technology, especially HPE InfoSight (AI-based predictive analytics), now integrates into the broader HPE storage ecosystem, aiming to reduce manual troubleshooting.
Current development supports NVMe, Storage Class Memory, and disaggregated hyperconverged infrastructure (dHCI).

Key features include:
99.9999% (six-nines) availability, designed to support enterprise-grade reliability requirements
Inline deduplication and compression, aimed at improving data efficiency without compromising performance
Simplified management via a single-pane interface and automation-driven insights
A "timeless storage" model, intended to avoid forklift upgrades and support investment protection through options like Storage as a Service (STaaS)
HPE Nimble Storage: Fast & Resilient
CASL Architecture (Cache Accelerated Sequential Layout):
Patented technology for lightning-fast data writes.
Optimises performance for both Hybrid-Flash (SAS 7.2K RPM HDDs) and All-Flash (SSDs) models.
Achieves speed by coalescing, compressing, and writing data sequentially.
Triple+ Parity RAID:
Ensures exceptional resilience against disk/SSD failures.
Can tolerate three simultaneous drive failures.
Provides enhanced data integrity with intra-drive parity.
Nimble continues to offer a blend of reliability, performance, and operational predictability for hybrid and all-flash storage.
Refurbished HPE Nimble Storage arrays provide a scalable, predictable storage platform ideal for mid-market to enterprise IT environments. These systems are built to support a wide range of use cases from general virtualisation to Tier 1 applications.

Use Cases
Refurbishment & TestingRefurbishment & Testing:
Extensive testing:
Full chassis swap tests are performed.
We build and test real-world environments, including multiple OS combinations, workload simulations.
Systems are rigorously tested under realistic failure scenarios (RAM faults, controller swaps, drive loss) to prove resilience.
Guaranteed Quality: We only list equipment we are technically aligned with, operationally ready to support, and stand behind with a free 3-year warranty.
For IT managers focused on sustainable practices, here’s why refurbished enterprise storage matters:
Reduces E-Waste: Extends the life of existing hardware, significantly cutting down on electronic waste and the environmental impact of manufacturing new systems.
Supports Circular Economy: Aligns with principles that reduce your data center's carbon footprint and promote long-term eco-friendly infrastructure.
Aids Sustainability Targets: Directly contributes to meeting corporate goals like reducing Scope 3 emissions and achieving ESG objectives related to waste reduction and resource efficiency.
Incorporating refurbished storage offers both environmental and operational value for responsible resource management.
