Case Study: Imagine Learning achieves simplified, high-performance storage and automated snapshot backups with HPE Nimble Storage

Imagine Learning Simplifies Language Learning and Literacy for Children — and Then Simplifies Data Storage

Imagine Learning, a developer of educational software that teaches English and literacy to children worldwide, relied on large repositories of source code, audio and video to power its products. The IT team faced system complexity, heavy performance penalties during full backups, risk of unrecoverable data, and disruptive downtime for upgrades—constraints that limited productivity and threatened availability for hundreds of users.

To address this, Imagine deployed a Nimble flash‑optimized storage solution (one CS220 and two CS240 arrays) that uses instant, zero‑copy snapshots and integrated offsite replication. The result was greatly simplified operations and backup architecture, near‑zero backup impact on users, improved performance and redundancy, non‑disruptive upgrades, and the ability for general IT staff to manage storage with minimal training—delivering reliable, lower‑cost primary storage and disaster protection.
