Case Study: HPE Nimble Storage achieves $2.31M annual benefits and 447% ROI with Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s HP Vertica

Nimble Storage - Customer Case Study

HPE Nimble Storage, a San Jose–based flash storage vendor, needed to perform analytics on more than 1.5 petabytes of customer product and performance metadata to drive product design and competitive hybrid storage solutions. To replace a legacy BI system and gain the performance and cost efficiency required, HPE Nimble Storage partnered with Hewlett Packard Enterprise to deploy HP Vertica, with support from HP Software Professional Services.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s HP Vertica delivered lightning-fast queries and analytics, enabling HPE Nimble Storage to realize about $2.31 million in annual benefits, a projected 447% ROI over five years and a 6.8-month payback. The solution reduced data volume enough to avoid 100 servers over three years, boosted analyst and data scientist productivity (including a 50% productivity gain for data scientists), uncovered new revenue opportunities, and improved customer satisfaction through faster insights and better product design.
