Nimble Storage AF1000
All Flash Array
Small but mighty little all-flash array
The Nimble AF1000 All Flash array is the all-flash entry point to the Nimble Predictive Flash
platform. It delivers the functionality and scalability of a high-end all-flash array at a very
attractive price point. And it’s all flash and always fast all the time.
Small but mighty
It is scalable from 20 TB to 165 TB eective capacity in just 4U. Nondisruptively upgradable
to any other Nimble All Flash array model achieving over 2 PB in just 12U. And if that’s not
enough, it can scale out to over 8 PB of all-flash capacity in a single cluster.
Radically simplify operations—the new way
Every Nimble array includes InfoSight Predictive Analytics to predict and prevent issues
across the infrastructure stack, removing the headache of complex troubleshooting. Dealing
with traditional IT support is a thing of the past because tasks handled by traditional level-1
and level-2 support sta are automated by InfoSight. Nimble’s support organization is made
up entirely of level-3 experts who answer calls in less than a minute on average. The most
complex issues are rapidly resolved because InfoSight already has the information required to
solve the problem.
