Overall Satisfaction with Pure Storage FlashArray
Pure Storage is being used across our whole organization providing storage for 4 locations up/down the eastern seaboard. Through deduplication, it helps in saving considerable storage space, and through IOPS, it increases productivity of virtualized servers & applications. Using Flash has also reduced heat associated with moving parts replacing an HP SAN on lefthand network technology.
- Pure reduces storage space via deduplication, particularly when the same OS is used across the board.
- Flash storage's speed has increased productivity by increasing the speed of server performance.
- Over the coarse of one year, only one maintenance issue needed addressed. It requires little to no maintenance to operate.
- It is monitored 24/7 by the vendor remotely. Any issues that do come up, will be known by the vendor at essentially the same time the company will.
- Training courses for managing and creation of storage, CLI usage, etc.
- Faster performance aided the user experience
- Data reduction enables continued updating of software without adding storage
- Updating Pure Storage without business operation interference during business hours is beneficial
