Overall Satisfaction with Pure Storage FlashArray
We use Pure Storage FlashArray across the whole on-prem estate for everything from file servers to MSSQL databases.
The problems it addresses are mainly performance and capacity.
- Performance is the main area of strength. This is a huge increase over our previous storage providers.
- The deduplication is also a huge plus as this can give us 19 to 1 reduction is data footprint.
- There have been a lot of new versions of Pure Storage released over a very short period of time. This gives us a headache trying to keep up to date as we have many arrays.
- We have had reliability issues, and strange bugs causing problems. We did suffer a complete outage, with a resolution still not applied almost a year after the event.
- Since we installed Pure, the number of storage related problems has dropped significantly.
We wanted simplicity, without a loss in availability and functionality, and that's what we have.
