Hybrid Storage for Microsoft Applications

Nimble Storage hybrid storage solutions are integrated with Microsoft to provide application-consistent performance and management.

Microsoft Exchange 2010

Nimble Storage hybrid systems provide a powerful solution for Microsoft Exchange. Because performance is not tied to the number of disk spindles, a single 3U Nimble Storage array can support up to 40,000 users — orders of magnitude greater than tiered solutions where flash is not integrated into the underlying storage architecture.
