Sure it is a storage appliance, sure it includes everything you need for you storage needs. Ummm found that very interesting because I don’t consider Nimble’s offering as a box. I have been asked by a couple of people, why would I want to sell a box…. I have condensed the story, if you want to read the rest I did a blog a long time ago “Nimble Storage My Story” Went ahead and looked up my old contacts and called them in and ended up going with Nimble for my storage. I started to scour the internet and do my research, and everything I wanted landed in the Nimble Storage playground. But the storage decision took more thought and consideration because at this time the storage start-ups were numerous. Of course the first thing I did was go ahead and buy Veeam and deploy. In 2011 I started with a new company, after my first couple of weeks, I knew I needed two things, a better data protection strategy and storage. I started hearing about Nimble Storage late 2010, when a couple of guys showed up to my office for a meeting with me and my Manager, at the time we were to invested in our current storage provider to consider them even though the product pitch sounded amazing. I figured instead of just saying that I was joining Nimble Storage, I should give some of my reasoning behind why Nimble.

Long story short, that leads me to leaving Veeam Software and joining Nimble Storage. My family has decided they would rather see more of me…… very surprising but they seem to like me around the house, must be my stunning looks, no don’t think it is…. Before I go into the change I am making, I want to say this has nothing to do with Veeam as a company or product. If anything I think more highly of them today. Let’s say that working for Veeam has not changed my feeling about the company or product one bit. To the point that early 2013 I started to work for Veeam. Veeam Backup and Replication has been a love of mine since I first ran into them at VMworld 2009, since that time I have not used anything else to protect my virtual infrastructure.
