Likelihood to Recommend

Pure Storage is needed where you need speed and performance. It is also great for ease of use and management, which was key for us as we didn't have the resources to spend a lot of time managing our storage system. It is probably too expensive to be used as secondary or backup storage, but that is probably the case for any flash-based storage system.

Pure Storage is the best SAN we've ever used. Well worth the investment!
