- Management/Admin software - Unlike legacy storage platforms, PF's administration is simple and flexible. We no longer require an SME, all engineers can manage the arrays with a high degree of confidence.
- Excellent support organization - Pure requires very little engagement from the customer for issues. Simple email communications will address %100 of our issues.
- Evergreen program - Allows it's customers to upgrade to a new storage head assuring they can take advantage of Pure's technology road map.
- Cars Inc has always been interested in a file storage solution. However, the Flash Blade has lacked built-in replication.
- Datacenter power and space.
- Empowering all engineers to manage storage arrays.
- I wish the Flash Blade would have evolved more. Would have loved to invest in this solution, but the time has passed.
Cars Inc doesn't use other Pure Storage solutions.
