Brand: Nimble Storage (now HPE) · SKU: NIMBLE-CS-SERIES · MPN: Varies by Model · Category: Components
The Nimble Storage CS-Series arrays are the building blocks of the Adaptive Flash Platform, designed to dynamically allocate storage resources for business-critical applications. They are based on CASL™ (Cache Accelerated Sequential Layout) architecture and leverage InfoSight for data science-based lifecycle management. The series includes models like CS210, CS215, CS235, CS3000, CS5000, and CS7000, which combine HDDs and SSDs in a hybrid fashion, though newer updates include All-Flash Array models (e.g., CS1000/H). These arrays support iSCSI protocol standard, with Fibre Channel support available on higher-end models (CS235, CS3000, CS5000, CS7000). They feature integrated data protection, snapshots, and WAN-efficient replication. Features include inline compression, thin provisioning, and non-disruptive scaling (Scale-to-Fit and Scale-Out Architecture). The CS3000 is noted for capacity per dollar, while the CS5000 and CS7000 offer higher performance for IO-intensive workloads. The CS
