Overall Satisfaction with Pure Storage FlashArray

The final configuration involves the installation and configuration of a high-reliability infrastructure to provide a redundant system that can be resistant to possible blockage of one of the two site production sites. Network connectivity is provided via four 10Gb network cards and two 1Gb network cards for the management interface.

The SAN Pure Storage M20 enables the active/active HA functionality. The storage is composed of a Pure Storage m20 5TB containing 20 256GB SSD disks bundled with 2 for each disk slot. The total usable net of RAID3D used by the system is 2.7TB which, thanks to the deduplication tool, will provide between 6 and 10 TB usable space.
