Overall Satisfaction with Pure Storage FlashBlade

The initial use case for our 1st FlashArray was for high performance VM storage. We were rolling our our initial Kubernetes cluster and needed a good storage solution. The Pure Storage Orchestrator plugged right into our initial deployment and worked so well we used it for all the storage for our new 150+ node Kubernetes deployment at our new datacenter with almost all our production systems utilizing it.
  • Kubernetes support
  • Replication
  • Great support
  • Price
  • BYO keys to S3 storage
  • Has been very reliable
  • Has given us a fast enough storage for us to attempt things that would;t be possible otherwise
Whenever we have had an issue, support has been quick to reply and find a solution.

Pure Storage FlashBlade provides higher performance than the competition.
Pure Storage FlashBlade is a great all-purpose storage solution for our datacenter and over time a big win over AWS S3 in both price and performance. Due to the price, many companies looking to have an on-prem data lake will need to look at other HDD bases systems for a tier2 data lake that doesn't require the performance of Pure.

All of our research and production tasks running on-prem use prep storage
