InfoSight on Nimble now includes the virtualization layer, with ML-driven guidance as to how best to optimise customers' environments and where to place their data. It has since been extended to cover 3PAR arrays and is growing into a data centre management facility, coveting servers, networking and, maybe, applications.

InfoSight is the Nimble array predictive analytics and management facility which HPE inherited with its $1.2bn acquisition of Nimble Storage in March. It is also beefing up InfoSight 3PAR and Nimble array management with – and many of you are already mouthing the words – machine learning. First XPoint, then Z-NAND: Oh dear, server-makers.
