Citipointe Christian College 1,000th Customer for Nimble Storage

Nimble Storage, Inc. announced it has surpassed
the 1,000-customer mark.

The company has reached this milestone in less than two-and-a-half years of
selling its products, due to the demand for its
flash-optimized storage arrays. Nimble Storage products integrate the
performance of flash with the economics of high-capacity HDDs –
making them for storing and protecting data for critical
applications such as Exchange, SQL Server, server virtualization and VDI. Its technology provides flexibility for
independently scaling capacity and performance at low possible.
Customers see performance enhanced by up to a factor of ten, while
Nimble Storage’s Proactive Wellness support capabilities provide increased
storage uptime and keep arrays running at peak performance and efficiency.

Nimble Storage’s technology is
known for its performance enhancements, efficiency gains and Proactive
Wellness management tools. The company’s success has been fueled by interest
from companies that have realized the opportunity for savings driven by reductions in TCO from deploying its storage
solutions. Customer growth is consistent across all major vertical industries,
including government, education, financial services, legal and healthcare.

"Eighty-plus percent
of our competition consists of legacy vendors, and even against their most
modern architectures, we are winning deals at an amazing clip," said
Suresh Vasudevan, CEO of Nimble Storage. "Our customers are adopting our solution because we can leverage the
best of flash performance and the price/capacity of high-capacity hard disk
drives, while at the same time provide unmatched data management functionality.
This latest customer milestone proves it’s a winning combination."

Nimble Storage’s expansion into
international markets has also contributed to this strong customer momentum.
Citipointe Christian College, located in Brisbane, Australia, became Nimble
Storage’s 1,000th customer as a direct result of this expansion.

"We
believe that Nimble Storage has done for us what no other storage vendor could
achieve – higher performance at a reasonable price coupled with ease-of-use
that is second to none, " said Ben Davis, director of ICT, Citipointe
Christian College.

A contributor to the company’s
success in acquiring new customers is its loyalty to the channel. Nimble
Storage has driven more than 95% of its revenue through the channel and finds
that once partners sell their first system they quickly introduce Nimble to
their other customers. Due to the attractiveness of the Nimble Storage Partner
Program and the ease of selling its solutions, the firm has increased its
partner base to more than 350 partners worldwide.

"Nimble’s CS-Series arrays are unique in
combining high-performance flash and high-capacity hard disk drives, creating
an extremely cost-effective solution that meets the requirements for a customer
base with a vast range of workloads and networking environments. The Nimble
Partner Program affords customers this solution with industry-leading
reliability and a highly competitive storage platform for resellers – all in
all an unbeatable combination," said Dave Kluger, principal technology
architect, Storcom, Inc.

Nimble Storage has developed
an integrated flash-optimized storage architecture designed to
leverage the best of flash performance and the price/capacity of high-capacity HDDs. Today’s storage architectures limit scalability to either
performance or capacity; Nimble’s scale-to-fit technology, built on the
Cache Accelerated Sequential Layout (CASL) architecture,
addresses these limitations by allowing customers to purchase what they
need up front and by providing flexible scaling options.
Customers can protect their existing investments while growing their storage at
the lowest incremental cost, without downtime, as their needs evolve.
