Demands for better storage performance, scalability, data protection, and simplicity continue to grow in today's datacenter. The rapid adoption of virtualization and server consolidation has further compounded the need for network storage that can keep up with these demands. Nimble Storage makes it possible for IT to tackle them all head on. Nimble Storage designed its Cache Accelerated Sequential Layout (CASLTM) architecture to help large and small IT organizations address their storage challenges. As the industry's first flash-optimized storage architecture designed from the ground up, CASL effectively combines the performance of flash for reads with a unique data layout optimized for writes. The result is high-performance, efficient storage. CASL also includes integrated data protection and management functionality required by today's demanding applications, eliminating the need for separate backup storage solutions and tools. These characteristics make the Nimble Storage CS-Series the ideal storage platform for mainstream IT applications in a variety of environments, ranging from midsize deployments with hundreds of users to large enterprises with thousands of employees.
