The real value at Nimble?
I wonder if the real value in buying Nimble isn't the arrays, but InfoSight. Not only does the acquiring company get InfoSight analytics itself, but years worth of metrics collected from those 10,000 customers.
Nimble made a blog post once about all the data they collect and analyze, and I wonder if the analytics and all that data might be the real diamond in the rough? Maybe the arrays and everything else is just icing on the cake.
