Powerful individually, more powerful together! Data protection with big improvements in data availability, agility, and business acceleration is possible with HPE Nimble Storage all-flash arrays and Veeam Hyper-Availability Platform.
At the same time, the demand on IT professionals has never been greater. Service-level agreements (SLAs) have been steadily increasing, along with business expectations. This means that new solutions, new tools, and processes are required to meet challenges today—and tomorrow.
How all-flash storage delivers great benefits
When it comes to speed, flash memory offers incredible gains in what I like to call “the art of the possible.” But remember: any solution is only as fast in performance as its slowest link. And often, I/O instructions and data transfers are where valuable time is lost. Such is the beauty and the power of all-flash technology.
By offering faster and more predictable storage capacity, we can now access data faster and/or inc
Veeam, by the way, has been partnering with Nimble Storage since 2012, even prior to the acquisition by HPE in 2017. Since then, the level of integration between Veeam and HPE Nimble Storage has never been greater.
Why great infrastructure needs great data management
Along with the benefits of all-flash that come with Nimble Storage, Veeam offers additional capabilities to deliver greater customer value.
Yes, Nimble Storage arrays offer fantastic improvements in daily management. What's more, HPE InfoSight telemetry data and machine learning capabilities ensure a highly reliable and available system. On top of that, Veeam’s intelligent data management solution provides ideal ways to further leverage the capabilities of Nimble Storage array, such as:
- Faster backups
- More frequent copies of business-critical data
- Faster restores
- Easier management of Nimble Storage array snapshots and replication
- Proactive prevention of performance and infrastructure issues
- Leveraging of fast data access for new business opportunities
The ability to complete backup operations in a shorter amount of time is vital for all organizations. Far too many continue to struggle with achieving success in the “backup window.” Flash storage combined with modern data protection and data management solutions ensures that backup operations can be completed in a timely manner. But that’s not enough. Today business-critical applications require much more frequent recovery points, often measured in minutes, not hours or days.
Faster restores of data on flash storage, combined with data management solutions that can offer easy-to-use granular access item-level recovery, mean that the business can get back to doing what it was meant to do faster.
Having a data management platform that can seamlessly schedule, control, and coordinate flash storage array backup, snapshot, and replication from an integrated console offers IT and application administrators unprecedented speed, improved recovery points, and ease and administration.
The key takeway here: Intelligent storage, such as HPE Nimble Storage arrays, offer powerful machine learning improvements based upon telemetry data to ensure highly resilient and performant systems. Intelligent data management solutions, such as Veeam ONE, can add to and extend the ability to drive service level achievement and to operate at scale, with uninterrupted and highly optimized utilizations of resources.
Veeam ONE monitoring and reporting solution with HPE InfoSight predicts and prevents cross-stack performance and infrastructure issues—before they impact your applications.
Now I’ve saved the best for last. . .
The faster path to business transformation
True business transformation and business acceleration come from combining the power of better, faster, and more powerful infrastructures with an intelligent data management solution that allows your organization to get even more value out of your data. Protection and availability are hugely important. But imagine if an organization can further leverage its availability copies of data for better business outcomes? That’s where HPE Nimble Storage and Veeam Software’s DataLabs enters the picture. The ability to dynamically stand up one or more virtual server instances in an isolated sandbox-like manner affords new opportunities when it comes to:
- DevOps, DevSecOps, DevTest
- Patch testing (applications, middleware, hypervisor and operating system)
- Security validation
- Analytics
- Compliance (for example, GDPR)
