About HPE Nimble Storage 

 

  • 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).

The HPE Nimble QuickSpecs -HPE Nimble QuickSpecs

 

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.

 

Product Description

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.

 

Expandable & Flexible

  • Nimble arrays support scale-up and scale-out configurations using expansion shelves or multi-array clusters.
  • Adaptive Flash architecture enables mixed SSD and HDD tiers for cost-effective performance

 

All-Flash vs Hybrid

  • All-flash models (AF) are suited for latency-sensitive tasks like VDI, real-time analytics, and transactional databases.
  • Hybrid models (HF & CS) offer cost-optimised performance for general-purpose virtualization, backup storage, or DR sites.

 

Use Cases

  • Virtual server and VDI infrastructure
  • SQL Server, Oracle, SAP
  • Backup and secondary storage
  • Disaster recovery replication targets

 

Refurbishment & TestingRefurbishment & Testing:

  • Diagnostics and full component testing
  • Firmware updates and reset
  • Cleaning and cosmetic inspection
  • Extended burn-in tests and final verification

 

 


 

 

Rigorously tested and expertly refurbished

 

  • 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.

 

 

 


 

 

Sustainable IT: Environmental Benefits of Refurbished Enterprise Storage

 

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.
