more than 9,000 customers. How does this translate into true
business value? By reducing your business risk with over Six-Nines
of measured availability. By providing you with an infrastructure
that gets “smarter” every single day. By empowering IT staff to
focus on business priorities instead of mundane maintenance.

InfoSight can make the life of your administrators far more
forward rather than ‘keeping the lights on”. The highest
cost to running a data center is management – imagine
how much more productive your staff can be if:
• Over 92% of support cases are automatically opened before administrators are even aware of the issue
• Over 86% of support cases are automatically resolved
by InfoSight
• 54% of issues that InfoSight resolves are not directly
related to storage
• When a call to Nimble Support is required, it takes less
