Nimble Storage Enables Cloud Service Providers to Enhance Offerings

SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwired - Sep 12, 2016) - Nimble Storage (NYSE: NMBL), the leader in predictive flash storage, today announced new features for Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) to offer premium app-centric services to customers. The Predictive Flash platform has become a defacto storage standard within more than 500 CSP environments, including SaaS and IaaS companies. The new app-centric approach allows CSPs to take advantage of Quality of Service (QoS), secure multi-tenancy, and app-based Storage on Demand pricing to drive a competitive edge with efficient operations and app-specific offerings. The new CSP Partner Program allows partners to access a broader customer ecosystem. 

"Cloud service providers are one of our fastest growing channels. Hundreds of IaaS providers have chosen Nimble Storage for performance, availability and operational simplicity. Now they can offer highly-differentiated app-centric services that are easy to monetize," said Leonard Iventosch, vice president of Worldwide Channels, Nimble Storage. "In addition, the introduction of our CSP partner program enables CSPs to extend their reach through a broader customer ecosystem." 

QoS and Multi-tenancy Drive Efficient Infrastructure and Operations
Leveraging the power of the Predictive Flash platform allows CSPs to offer premium services with leaner operations. Nimble now enables CSPs to consolidate infrastructure and easily manage applications with predictable performance through secure multi-tenancy and QoS. Multi-tenant storage allows CSPs to securely isolate end-customers and applications, while QoS prevents rogue workloads from impacting critical applications.

"A key factor to our success as a business relies on the ability to support multiple customers and tenants and maintain service level agreements," said Christopher Fox, chief technology officer, Ideal Integrations. "Adding the Nimble All Flash array to our portfolio while leveraging the new multi-tenancy and QoS capabilities allows us to deliver a wide range of services from premium to cost-effective. We are able to grow our cloud business and extend our services to a broader ecosystem of customers."
