Nimble Storage CS-Series Reviews
“So far so good. I had an issue with All Paths down, and Nimble was right there to help with support. It was so refreshing to have a company that is responsive and right there to help with a problem!!! In the end the issue was with VMware and not the Nimble at all. So far so good! It’s easy to use, install, manage, I can’t say enough good things so far! Thanks Nimble!!!”
