  • Ease of deployment.
  • Robustness at its core.
  • Helpful documentation.
Cons
  • Clear path to get compatibility matrices, it was hard to get it while doing it for Dell and VMware products.
  • More options regarding SMB, sometimes a few clients don't have a very big budget to implement a simple iSCSI SAN.
  • Spanish speaking techs, they need to improve that.

  • The Pure Array does data reduction particularly well. We've seen a 7x reduction on some of our volumes.
  • It is easy to get used to the system after coming from other storage arrays.
  • It has some welcome additions such as a smartphone app that makes it easier to view your cases, etc.
Cons
  • It would have been good to see vvol support for ESX 6.0.
