Pioneer in Flash-optimized Hybrid Storage to Showcase its Solutions Built for the Virtual Datacenter and Lead Industry Discussions on the Future of Storage.

San Jose, Calif. -- August 20, 2013 -- Nimble Storage, the leading provider of flash-optimized hybrid storage solutions, today announced that it will participate as a Gold sponsor at VMworld 2013 taking place August 25 - 29 at Moscone Center in San Francisco. At the conference, Nimble (booth #921) will demonstrate its flash-optimized storage solutions that are purpose-built for the virtualized datacenter. In addition, Nimble Storage and its customers will participate in several presentations and panel discussions on the future of storage, storage advances for the virtualized datacenter, and deploying storage in private and hybrid cloud environments.

Nimble's CS-Series storage solutions solve the industry's most pressing storage demands: delivering higher performance at a reasonable price, implementing affordable backup and recovery, and reining in storage complexity. The company's products are based on its patented Cache Accelerated Sequential Layout (CASL™) hybrid storage architecture — a game-changing architecture designed to seamlessly integrate flash with low-cost, high-density drives. It delivers high performance and scalability, as well as integrated backup and disaster recovery (DR), making it ideally suited for virtualized business-critical applications. Nimble’s InfoSight, a cloud based storage lifecycle management service, dramatically simplifies storage operations through the collection and deep data analysis of system health and wellness information.

In addition to obtaining a preview of bleeding-edge technologies and products that Nimble offers to improve manageability of storage in virtualized environments, attendees can engage with Nimble Storage executives and customers at the following sessions:

• Customer and Service Provider Perspectives on DR Strategy, Tips and Tricks for Private and Hybrid Cloud Environments: Nimble’s Wen Yu will host a technical panel session for customers to share tips and tricks on how to handle DR in a private cloud environment, and for service providers to share how they design DR as a service to accelerate hybrid cloud adoption. Panel participants include George Mitsopoulos, vice president, Cloud Services at Virtacore Systems, Bryan Bond of eMeter, Jeff Winter of City of Hot Springs, and Jerry Yang of Foster Pepper.
