SAN JOSE, CA – August 11, 2014 — /BackupReview.info/ — Nimble Storage (NYSE: NMBL), the flash storage solutions company, today announced it has been recognized as one of 2014’s hottest emerging technology vendors by CRN, the top news source for solution providers and the IT channel. The annual Emerging Vendors list identifies up-and-coming technology vendors that have introduced innovative new products, creating opportunities for channel partners in North America to create high-margin, cutting-edge solutions for their customers.

Nimble’s channel-centric model continues to be a key driver of the company’s growth and has successfully launched within several new regions, including Singapore, Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia and throughout EMEA. Nimble launched a two-tier distribution model in North America, successfully transitioning 100 percent of all resellers to purchase through distribution. Additionally, in an effort to provide partners with a strong understanding of Nimble’s Adaptive Flash platform the company launched Nimble Sales Professional (NSP), a self-paced, online course available to all resellers free of charge. To date, more than 1,200 individuals have completed the course.

Nimble Storage has developed the Adaptive Flash platform that is engineered to provide organizations with the highest levels of performance efficiently. Along with integrated data protection and predictive support, enterprise customers can deploy confidently and seamlessly scale their storage infrastructure as their business grows. The company’s flash storage solutions are based on its patented Cache Accelerated Sequential Layout (CASL™) storage architecture that leverages fast read performance of flash and the cost-effective capacity of hard disk drives, and Nimble InfoSight, an automated cloud-based management and support system that maintains storage system peak health.

“The varying performance and capacity requirements of applications underscores the demand for a modern storage solution that has been purpose-built to address the needs of large organizations,” said Mike Munoz, vice president of worldwide sales. “Our channel partners play an integral role in reaching the enterprise market and we are laser-focused on not only building deeper engagement and enablement with them, but also on enhancing the level of training and support our ecosystem of over 1,000 partners receives. Our channel-centric model continues to be a key driver of Nimble’s growth, and we are honored to be recognized by CRN.”

“Solution providers are always on the hunt for the next big technology trend so that they can bring new solutions to their customers before they even know they need them. These vendors are on the forefront of IT innovation and are offering products and services that channel partners can use to stay ahead of the competition,” said Robert Faletra, CEO of The Channel Company, publisher of CRN. “We congratulate 2014’s Emerging Vendors for creating the next wave of technology that will drive the IT industry forward and for opening the door to new, unique solutions from the IT channel.”
