Overall Satisfaction with Pure Storage FlashBlade
The FlashBlade is being used to protect our Veeam backups. The Systems Engineering team are the only ones that use it, but because it is used as part of our backup infrastructure it supports the entire company. The FlashBlade is a repository to store all production backups. We've enabled Safemode on the FlashBlade to protect production backups from ransomware.
- Speed of read and write
- Familiar interface to that of Pure Storage FlashArray
- Ability to scale out
- Initial configuration is complex/confusing
- Capacity
- Somewhat peace of mind from ransomware
- Increased speed of restores
- Increased speed of backups
We did not evaluate any other products, the FlashBlade has nothing similar in my opinion.
