Nimbus to Showcase S-class Flash Memory Platform to Enable Broader VDI Adoption at Citrix Synergy 2011

SAN FRANCISCO, May 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Nimbus Data Systems, Inc. will demonstrate its Sustainable Storage™ technology, including its S-class enterprise flash systems, at Citrix Synergy 2011 at the Moscone West Convention Center in San Francisco May 25-27 in booth No. 505.

Delivering breakthrough storage performance and efficiency for enterprise-wide server and desktop virtualization, Nimbus S-class enterprise flash systems meet the rigorous storage requirements of virtualization products such as Citrix XenServer, XenDesktop, and XenApp.  In fact, 70% of Nimbus S-class customers chose Nimbus specifically for the unique random IO workloads of virtualization that traditional disk arrays cannot handle effectively. The Nimbus S-class Flash Memory platform delivers ample performance to meet the high IO demand of boot storms with ease. Block-based inline deduplication eliminates redundant operating system data in virtual machines, cutting storage capacity requirements by as much as 90 percent. With up to sixteen 10GbE ports, the Nimbus S-class can connect up to 16 hypervisor servers directly to flash storage without any switch infrastructure, reducing hardware costs, cutting network latency, and simplifying administration. With an acquisition cost that rivals traditional 15K disk arrays, the Nimbus S-class offers the future of network storage – flash – at a price-point that enables broad VDI adoption today in educational institutions, governments, healthcare organizations, and much more.

Nimbus Sustainable Storage systems redefine datacenter economics with 10 times greater performance, 90 percent lower operating costs, superior availability and unparalleled simplicity. Nimbus' intelligent software and solid state storage hardware provide the optimal foundation for virtualization, databases, cloud computing, and IO-intensive applications.

Synergy San Francisco is an open, global conference that brings together many different viewpoints, ideas and solutions. A wide variety of presenters–including customers, analysts, partners, and Citrix executives, architects, consultants and product experts–ensures a diverse and thought-provoking agenda.  For more information, visit the conference's website at http://www.citrixsynergy.com/sanfrancisco/index.html
