Case Study: Vision Critical achieves faster software development and storage efficiency with HPE Nimble Storage

Nimble Brings Storage Simplicity and Cost Savings to Villanova College

Villanova College faced a significant challenge managing hundreds of daily software code iterations for its business intelligence applications, with its storage requirements growing by 50% annually. Their performance was bottlenecked by an inefficient storage system that couldn't handle the demands of their virtualized, mission-critical development environment.

HPE Nimble Storage implemented a CS220 array that converged primary and backup storage. The solution provided high-performance storage with real-time compression and efficient snapshots, reducing software build times by over 50% and cutting primary storage capacity needs in half. HPE Nimble Storage's zero-copy cloning technology also saved over 80% of test development storage capacity, allowing developers to be more productive.
