The EMC array is a lot more robust, but the PURE array does almost the same with about a tenth of ease from the configuration. It really depends on the type of backend servers that you need to support as to whether you need a EMC array or a PURE array.
Really the deduplication and compression ratio has been all over these guys. The speed on the flash storage seems more customized if I may say and our deployments were smooth. Nothing against these guys since we work with all at the same level, but there are very notable perks …
Pure Storage offers better support plans, simple UI and easy upgrade options. It can be more pricey but, you get what you pay for and Pure is very competitive when it comes to pricing for features/value. Win-Win-Win!
They all came late to the Flash game and are struggling to keep up. Colleagues I talked to at the beginning of the all-Flash Array explosion talked about how stable Pure Storage arrays were compared to those trying to enter the market. Since then, I haven't bothered looking …
The Forever Flash offering from Pure is the deal maker. We will always have new controllers every 3 years and will not need to ever purchase new or upgrade our array.
All those guys are losers. Definitely, there are no alternatives. This is like EV cars. You can buy whatever, but Tesla is still the reference. Spending money elsewhere is okay because rates are 0%, but this remains crazy. Why pay more for less? All the features are not as good …
We did a bake off between the (then) EMC array and Pure Storage. Pure's active/passive infrastructure meant that recovery time from a major hardware failure such as a controller failure was measured in seconds. The EMC array took much longer to recover, and we didn't see the …
Dell/EMC support was not as effective as Pure Storage's. Within days of selecting Pure Storage FlashArray, we had a team of technicians helping implement the array, integrate it with our existing systems, and test migration of VMware datastore to the array for proof-of-concept …
We tested our Pure arrays agents a few alternatives. They're the only ones that built their platform to be future proof and had the simplest licensing agreement of the bunch (there was none!).
Pure Storage FlashArray was chosen due to the performance, reduced management complexity, and support features as compared to other solutions. Some vendors did not offer a support model that fit, compatibility with legacy HPUX, or offered the compression and dedupe features. …
My organization leverages both Pure and not-Pure platforms. Larger enterprise arrays such as vmax use all flash. The pure x70s have easily held their performance and reliability against the Xtremios and VMAXes.
