Nimble Storage, Inc. announced that its flash-optimized storage solutions have been verified as part of the Citrix Ready VDI Capacity Program Verified for Citrix XenDesktop.

Nimble Storage’s flash-optimized CASL™ architecture makes it a great fit for desktop virtualization in the datacenter because it accelerates both reads (such as for boot storms) and writes (for steady state I/O). 
Citrix and Nimble Storage have been working together to bring best-of-breed solutions to the market. 

Nimble Storage arrays provide a high-performance yet cost-effective end-user experience for Citrix XenDesktop. For more information about Citrix and Nimble Storage solutions, see http://www.nimblestorage.com/solutions/alliances/citrix.php.

Nimble Storage has developed a flash storage architecture engineered to address the industry's most pressing storage issues: delivering better performance and capacity at a reasonable price; providing integrated protection with rapid backup and recovery; and, reining in storage complexity. The company's products are based on its patented Cache Accelerated Sequential Layout (CASL) that leverages fast read performance of flash and the cost-effective capacity of HDD drives. Nimble combines this flash-optimized architecture with InfoSight, a cloud based management service that delivers predictive support and operational simplicity through deep data analytics.
