Overall Satisfaction with Pure Storage FlashArray
We deployed one array to a client's DRP which went pretty well. Currently it handles the DRP data and a few offsite production workloads which needed to be handled since this client is a wholefood distributor and didn't have enough infra to handle its load on the DRP and the offsite needs.
- Ease of deployment.
- Robustness at its core.
- Helpful documentation.
- Clear path to get compatibility matrices, it was hard to get it while doing it for Dell and VMware products.
- More options regarding SMB, sometimes a few clients don't have a very big budget to implement a simple iSCSI SAN.
- Spanish speaking techs, they need to improve that.
- Seamless integration really takes the big screen.
- Speed on the vCenter cluster storage backend really was something everybody should have.
- The simplicity on getting deployed on a single work day is awesome.
- IBM Storwize (now part of FlashSystems), HPE 3PAR StoreServ Storage, Dell EMC Unity, Dell EMC SC Series (Compellent), Dell EMC VMAX All Flash Storage and HPE Nimble Storage
Really the deduplication and compression ratio has been all over these guys. The speed on the flash storage seems more customized if I may say and our deployments were smooth. Nothing against these guys since we work with all at the same level, but there are very notable perks when talking about Pure Storage FlashArray.
