Nimbus Data Systems has announced that it will exhibit its next-generation enterprise flash storage systems as part of Storage Decisions in the Exhibit Hall at the Marriott San Francisco Airport Hotel in San Francisco November 4. Company CEO Thomas Isakovich will also be part of the event's Vendor Showcase sessions, featuring rapid-fire presentations that show attendees how they can solve their most daunting storage challenges, at 10:15 a.m. and 2:40 p.m. in the Main Ballroom.

Nimbus' S-class flash storage systems leverage the incredible speed, efficiency and comprehensive software of NAND flash technology and Nimbus' HALO operating system to deliver up to 24x greater storage performance and 90 percent lower energy usage than traditional disk-based arrays. Featuring up to 600 redundant NAND flash blades and on-demand expansion to 250 TB of solid state storage in a single file system, the S-class is the first flash-based storage system with the software and economics needed for mainstream enterprise storage deployment.

"With its focus on helping storage professionals identify and eliminate inefficiencies within their current storage policies and practices, Storage Decisions is a perfect venue to showcase our line of Sustainable Storage solutions that reshapes IT infrastructure with next-generation performance, efficiency and automated management at the forefront," said Isakovich.

Nimbus provides ample storage horsepower for enterprise-wide virtualization, VDI deployments, databases and OLTP, and other IO-intensive HPC and rich media applications, including data mining and data warehousing, seismic data processing for the energy market, astrophysical, biotech, and genomics analysis and medical imaging. Service providers building public and private cloud computing services, such as VMs and storage on-demand, can now do so with a flash-based platform that offers both high capacity and 90 percent lower energy, cooling, and rackspace costs than traditional 15K rpm disk arrays. The powerful Nimbus HALO storage operating system, standard on all S-class systems, provides snapshots, replication, deduplication, and multi-protocol SAN and NAS functionality out of the box for complete enterprise storage management.

Storage Decisions is a leading conference event built for serious storage-focused IT pros. Hundreds of storage-focused IT managers are expected to take part in the event featuring keynote speeches, sessions, workshops and vendor exhibitions. Produced by the editorial team of TechTarget Storage Media, Storage Decisions San Francisco will focus on the theme "Storage to the max: Leveraging proven practices and new technologies for efficient storage."
