HPE Nimble Storage – Catalogic Software

CATALOGIC + HPE NIMBLE

HPE Nimble Storage is a leader in the primary storage market and over the past decade, has enabled many customers to successfully modernize their storage. At Catalogic, we recognize the significant value HPE Nimble Storage brings to the primary storage market. That’s why we have chosen to support HPE Nimble Storage snapshots via Catalogic ECX.

How it works

Catalogic ECX is Copy Data Management (CDM) software that can bring modernization to an existing environment without the disruption of needing new hardware. ECX delivers “in-place” copy data management through enterprise storage array snapshots, allowing IT to maximize its investments in existing infrastructure to deliver self-service copies for VM admins and DBAs alike.

Zero Footprint Copies

Catalogic ECX coordinates with database applications to create application consistent Nimble Storage Snapshots based on customer defined SLAs state and metadata are captured in a centralized metadata catalog. These zero footprint copies do not leave your Storage Arrays and takes full advantage of the exceptional storage efficiency features of Nimble Arrays.

Advanced Recoveries

Whether LUNs need to be mounted from snapshots or entire databases recreated, Catalogic ECX can instantly bring the data back to the original server or new server with custom database names, mount points and storage protocols while automatically resolving any disk signature conflicts. Optionally, Catalogic ECX can perform point in time recoveries or even catalog the mounted snapshots in RMAN to facilitate advanced recoveries.

Self-service Recoveries

With ECX, RBAC controlled Users can perform self-service recoveries or cloning of VMs or Databases they have access to. Automatically combine restores with clean-up of previous sessions to perform VM or Database Refreshes and Resets. Fulfil your Test-Dev, analytics and staging needs without compromising performance. Use ECX REST APIs through vRealize, Puppet, Jenkins or any of your preferred orchestration or CI tools
