Overall Satisfaction with Pure Storage FlashArray
Currently, we are using Pure Storage FlashArray to house our many development database environments. With the Data Compression and Dedupe on FlashArray, we have significantly reduced our development footprint, bringing about cost savings and operational efficiencies.
- Fast! More often than not, we're seeing sub-millisecond response times (latency).
- A simple management console.
- Data reduction. We're seeing far greater data reduction than we expected following the initial scoping exercise.
- A small rack footprint.
- The ability to export additional data from the array, such as capacity trending over time, would be helpful.
- During our initial scoping exercise we observed ~5:1 data reduction. This had us very impressed. Now that we are running FlashArray in the "wild" we're getting ~12:1 data reduction across Oracle workloads -- I still scratch my head every time I see this number!
- Although we haven't gone through an upgrade yet, the Evergreen model is very appealing.
