Nimble Storage machine learning capabilities increased

According to Nimble Storage, its InfoSight predictive flash platform achieves over six-nines (99.999928%) availability, which leads to an impact of less than 25 seconds annually.

IT staff are therefore able to focus on business priorities instead of routine maintenance and customers can operate their businesses at peak speed, without worrying about the burden of downtime.

By aggregating and analysing data across the Nimble installed base, InfoSight predictive analytics learns to identify and prevent causes of downtime before they occur.

“Flash-optimised arrays are quickly becoming the mainstream enterprise storage deployment model for mixed workloads, and customers are depending on these systems to consistently meet mission-critical requirements,” said Eric Burgener, research director Storage, IDC.

The collective pool of historical data Nimble has acquired provides visibility into infrastructure performance. As the InfoSight database grows, so does its intelligence. The machine learning capabilities built into the Nimble predictive flash platform have enabled the current availability to reach over 99.9999% uptime, observed and measured using predictive analytics.
