PureStorage - Why look at anything else?
Overall Satisfaction with Pure Storage FlashArray
The FlashArray is being utilized by our entire organization. We currently have 2 arrays. The first was specifically bought to correct storage performance issues that we were encountering in our VDI environment with a prior storage vendor. We were so impressed with that array that the following year we secured a second array to migrate our entire server workload to.
Pros
- Deduplication and compression
- PERFORMANCE!
- Support
Cons
- I honestly can't think of anything.
- Reduced man hours required for storage management
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 ready. Replication was a half-baked bolt on using their virtual recoverpoint appliances (as well as an extra charge).
