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!
Pure Storage stands head and shoulders above their competition. Not only is performance and usable capacity better and faster respectively, but the predictable support costs also make this a "no-brainer." Having used other storage arrays, from setup to support, Pure is by far …
Again, we did our research and did our consultations. We conducted a POC, which guaranteed storage controller upgrades at the cost of maintenance and numbers that we could budget for. Simplicity.
The FlashArray beat the hybrid arrays in performance, the other all-flash arrays we evaluated in price, and all of the legacy spinning-disk arrays in ease of management and in reliability. Their two huge advantages were their "Evergreen" upgrade-everything-forever option and …
We compared the PureStorage side by side with EMC XtremeIO. At the time, XtremeIO seemed like a beta product compared to the PureStorage offering. XtremeIO had just released a software upgrade which required total evacuation of the array. Deduplication was not production …
These are all good systems in their own right, but there are two areas where Pure Storage FlashArray beats them all hands-down! First is management. The software interface for management and provisioning is cleaner and doesn't make one jump through complicated processes to …
There is no comparison to Pure Storage vs. EMC. EMC requires forklift upgrades and their maintenance fees are very expensive. With Pure's flash guarantee, you always keep the storage you paid for and if you keep under maintenance with Pure, you will receive new storage …
Having the VPLEX be the storage interface between all our arrays was nice because some systems required different performance and capacities and it was the single pane of glass. Since the Pure Storage FlashArray offered us the same single pane of glass, the performance improved …
When we looked at retiring the our old VNX arrays we evaluated a lot of different solutions, but the FlashArray beat them across the board. They had the lowest price, the smallest physical footprint to data storage, and fastest time to deliver of all the products we looked at.
EMC needs a trained engineer to manage it. NetApp was our first HA storage device. It lacked performance. Pure Storage FA is our first all flash storage. No more worries about performance, and hassle-free management.
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.
During our POC against Tintri, our sales engineer said we should test failures to data and power! That we did! We live pulled all the plugs and cables and moved the Flash Array to another rack and reconnected everything. Our test virtual infrastructure, having paused for the …
