Overall Satisfaction with Pure Storage FlashArray
[Pure Storage FlashArray is] used across the whole environment for both block and file storage
- Easy to implement
- Always get a live transfer when calling in
- Proactive support
- Kinda like a black box in some situations, ie system space
- Positive - Long-running jobs take less time with AFA
- Positive - no longer have to spend time looking at disk performance when events happen, it's rarely a storage issue these days.
- DDN IntelliFlash (formerly Tegile, from Western Digital), Dell EMC PowerMax NVMe and Dell EMC SC Series (Compellent)
[They] seemed to have all the right things in place for our environment. A bit costly up front, but good return on less stress, better performance and good support whenever we do have issues.
