Overall Satisfaction with Pure Storage FlashArray
We utilize the Pure Storage FlashArray for a department. The department had a need for an all flash array that provided flexibility with snapshot technology. The Pure array has exceeded the performance and snapshot requirements.
- One of the strengths of the Pure Storage FlashArray is the snapshot technology. We were creating the snapshots on an HDS array which had a parent/child relationship between the source and target. This made expanding the size of the source LUN challenging.
- The snapshot technology with Pure eliminates that relationship making expanding the size of the source LUN very simple.
- The support of the Pure Storage FlashArray is outstanding. Pure has alerted us to issues with our fiber channels that would have gone unnoticed otherwise. They are hands-down the best vendor at proactively notifying us of potential issues.
- The Pure Storage FlashArray meets "the keep it simple" philosophy. From installation to configuration the array has been easy to use and we couldn't be happier.
- At this stage, I can't think of anything that could be improved upon.
- Due to the snapshot capability of the arrays, we are now exceeding our turn-around time for refreshing application environments.
- Due to the speed of the array, we are now exceeding our reporting deadlines.
The ease of use and snapshot technologies were a big plus for the Pure Storage FlashArray.
- We have been able to create additional snapshots due to the storage usage of snapshots which has enabled faster refreshes of the application environments.
