Integral to the Nimble Adaptive Flash platform, InfoSight simplifies management and support with intelligent, analytics-driven automation. With the addition of VM-level monitoring capabilities, it provides granular visibility into VMware virtual machine environments, enabling enterprise IT organizations to rapidly resolve resource contention issues and optimize performance.

Enterprise IT organizations contend with a number of challenges when it comes to harnessing data growth, while adhering to service level agreements. Aspects of the storage lifecycle management remain reactive, error-prone processes that can lead to downtime or loss in revenue add to these challenges.

Also compared to disparate legacy storage management frameworks and tools that generate an abundance of raw data, but aren't able to synthesize the information into an easily consumable, format, InfoSight integrates, automates, and substantially simplifies storage administrative tasks.

The InfoSight deep data analytics engine captures and analyzes over 30 million data points collected daily from thousands of installed-base Adaptive Flash storage arrays to provide comprehensive intelligence into overall storage infrastructure health. InfoSight automatically opens 90 percent of all support cases, and generates resolutions for over 80 percent of them, saving customers the time and effort of having to drive manual support processes. It provides intelligent, actionable recommendations to IT organizations on how best to scale storage resources in alignment with changing requirements, which is easily accessible via a single cloud-connected interface.

Radhika Krishnan, Vice President, Product Marketing and Alliances, Nimble Storage, said, "Customers who had been utilizing legacy solutions had to navigate disparate management frameworks, tools and interfaces to identify and attempt to resolve potential issues. InfoSight takes the guesswork out of the equation for organizations looking to manage and forecast growth and realize tangible ROI."
