Designing HPE Nimble Storage Solutions – Technical Training Course - Dates and application
Applying for closed-group training
Enrolment
Build strong skills in designing reliable, scalable HPE Nimble solutions by mastering hardware architecture, Scale-to-Fit planning, NimbleOS operations and InfoSight analytics. Learn to size workloads, design protection and replication strategies, and integrate Nimble storage confidently into modern enterprise environments. Walk away ready to design, size, secure and protect Nimble environments with confidence in any enterprise scenario.
Typical candidates for this program are IT, facilities or data center professionals, who work in and around the data center and who have the responsibility to achieve and improve the availability and manageability of the data center. Typical candidate job roles include but are not limited to Pre-sales Architects, Pre-sales Engineers, Enterprise Architects, Solutions Engineers, and echnology Architects.
this training program has no prerequisites.
HPE Nimble storage was introduced as a next-generation, flash-optimized platform built on predictive analytics and extremely efficient architecture. Over the years it became one of the industry’s most trusted midrange storage solutions, known for its speed, resilience and exceptionally low operational overhead—qualities that made it popular across enterprise data centers, cloud-connected environments and performance-critical workloads.
This comprehensive program gives you a clear understanding of how the Nimble platform evolved, how its AF/HF hardware, Scale-to-Fit design and NimbleOS features support modern infrastructure needs, and why InfoSight’s AI-driven insights have become a benchmark for availability and proactive management. You learn how Nimble is used in real enterprises for virtualization, databases, mixed workloads, backup/DR and hybrid cloud operations, and gain the skills to design and integrate these solutions into diverse enterprise environments with confidence.
After you successfully complete this comprehensive program, expect to be able to:
- Describe the AF & HF Series hardware
- Explain Scale-to-Fit with the Nimble Solutions
- Describe the AF-Series Write Operations
- Explain how to access and navigate the NimbleOS WebUI

- List port and firewall considerations
- Analyze the NimbleOS event log
- Create protection templates
- Configure access control and initiator groups
- Describe the need to add RPO, RTO and Change Rate definitions
- Explain how replication works
- Discuss the replication considerations
