COMPRESSION 1.8x Actual results across all Nimble customers deploying Exchange 2010 CUSTOMERS RETAINING SNAPSHOTS FOR >1 MONTH 48% Actual results across all Nimble customers deploying Exchange 2010 “With Nimble, we were able to run 3 snapshot backups a day and replicate offsite twice daily. Exchange users notice no performance degradation. Backups take minutes, not hours. Snapshot backups require very little space and are recoverable and mountable locally and remotely. A mailbox or Exchange system can be recovered in literally minutes. Best of all, we can regularly test our procedures for Disaster Recovery.” –Lucas Clara, IT Director, Foster Pepper LLC 6 Nimble Snapshot Efficiency Advantage Accelerate Usage (GB) § Redirect-on-write snapshots consume little space with no performance penalty § Variable Block Analysis § Inline-Compression § Block Duplication Avoidance § Allows for longer retention periods of 30–120 days 30x Protect Empower 102.1 GB Less space with Nimble “90% of restores occur within 30 days of backup.” – Lauren Whitehouse, ESG © 2012 Nimble Storage.
