Nimble Storage Predictive Flash Is Now App-Centric - Seite 2

App-Centric Management through Predictive Analytics
Nimble Storage InfoSight VMVision gives customers clear visibility across the storage-to-VM infrastructure stack. VMVision allows organizations to automatically identify noisy VM neighbors by narrowing down the exact application that is draining resources from other workloads. Where traditional storage based insights do not provide granular data for capacity planning and forecasting, VMVision provides IT with app-level capacity data for accurate storage planning.

"InfoSight allows us to identify issues throughout the entire infrastructure stack -- not just storage. Through VMVision we've been able to track down host or network latency when experiencing poor performance on a particular VM or group of VMs. We've also tracked down 'misbehaving' VMs simply by using the 'Top VMs' tabs to show their utilization in IOPS. We're instantly able to see that one VM is way above others," said Andrew Stock, senior systems engineer, Modern Health. "InfoSight provided this in-depth level of detail when no other tool gave me the basic information I needed."

App-based Pricing for Storage on Demand Provides Cloud-like Agility
Nimble Storage on Demand ensures users only pay for the application storage that they use, whether usage goes up or down. Now customers can consume storage based on application usage exactly as they do in a cloud environment. Based on a pre-set app-specific SLA customers can pay for what they consume starting from 6.8 ¢ per GB per month for All Flash storage*.

"With SOD we no longer have to predict how much storage we need to satisfy the business -- we only pay for the storage we actually use. As we add new applications there is always enough storage and Nimble proactively delivers additional arrays and storage shelves as needed," said Paul Einarson, chief information officer, Catalyst Paper. "Essentially our storage systems behave just like the cloud."
