Case Study: Carteret County Schools achieves hurricane-ready data protection and high-performance storage with HPE Nimble Storage

HPE Nimble Storage delivers performance and data protection for Carteret County Schools

Carteret County Public Schools, a coastal North Carolina district serving about 8,500 students across 20 sites, needed to simplify storage for a consolidated Hyper‑V environment while protecting critical data from frequent hurricanes and flooding. Their small IT team required a simple, open‑architecture solution that would deliver reliable performance and off‑site recovery for both instructional and administrative systems.

They deployed two HPE Nimble Storage Adaptive Flash Arrays (primary and secondary) with seamless replication to HPE Cloud Volumes and monitoring via HPE InfoSight. The solution delivered a 15‑minute recovery point for critical financial data, nearly instant snapshot restores, full VM protection in the cloud, ensured business continuity across all 20 schools, and reduced administration overhead so the team can focus on innovation.
