San Francisco, CA, February 11, 2009 – Nimbus Data Systems today announced the Elevate trade-up program for end-users and value-added resellers of the now end-of-life StoreVault (NetApp S family) storage systems. This trade-up program enables customers to recoup their existing investments in these products while migrating to Nimbus Unified Storage with the simplicity of all-inclusive software, tiered storage, and easy expansion at a dramatically lower total cost.

Keep It Simple with All-inclusive Software

All Nimbus Unified Storage systems come with comprehensive software at no additional cost, including iSCSI, NFS, CIFS, snapshots, clones, synchronous mirroring, asynchronous replication, unlimited application snapshot plug-ins, and unlimited host support. All-inclusive software with Nimbus reduces costs up to 75% by eliminating expensive and unpredictable software licensing fees.

Get Tiered Expandable Storage Affordably

Nimbus Unified Storage supports SATA, SAS, and SSD drives, even within the same enclosure, for optimal storage consolidation and virtualization. Add capacity on-demand with power-efficient expansion modules that maximize usable storage capacity at just 19 watts per managed terabyte.

The RH100, Nimbus’ unified storage system for SMB’s, features quad load-balanced Gigabit Ethernet ports and 8x more cache to deliver double the performance of StoreVault systems for VMware ESX, Citrix XenServer, Microsoft SQL Server, and Exchange. Best of all, the Nimbus RH100 is 10 GbE-ready, preserving IT investments for many years to come without a costly forklift upgrade later.
