If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then #VMware has just told the world that #Nimble Storage is a really great company.
Virtzilla has signalled an intention to give its VSAN software-defined storage code the backing of an analytics service that Nimble Storage has had since day dot.
Nimble's secret sauce is called “InfoSight” and sees the company regularly suck performance data out of its arrays and cram it all through a big data inisght-o-tronic. That rig blends data from all Nimble users and from one's own array, eventually producing reports based on the performance of all Nimble boxen but also individual customers' own usage patterns.
VMware looks like it's noticed Nimble's offering, as in this post by Christos Karamanolis. a VMware Fellow and CTO of Virtzilla's Storage and Availability Business Unit.
