Storage's position as a Gartner Magic Quadrant Leader
SANTA
CLARA, Calif., Sept. 20,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Pure Storage® (NYSE:
PSTG), the IT pioneer that delivers the world's most advanced data
storage technology and services, today announced it has been
positioned by Gartner as a Leader in the Magic Quadrant for Primary
Storage. The latest recognition by Gartner marks the
tenth1 consecutive year of recognition in the Magic
Quadrant for Pure Storage, and the fourth consecutive year that
Pure Storage has been positioned highest on the Ability to Execute
axis and furthest on the Completeness of Vision axis, which
validates Pure's leadership across the enterprise storage
industry.
Portfolio Momentum:
Pure Storage's placement in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for
Primary Storage stems from its ability to deliver a data storage
and management platform that can seamlessly satisfy all customer
data storage needs across a range of prices and performance via the
FlashArray™ portfolio, based on a single, AIOps-driven
management platform, Pure1® - all available via the
Evergreen//One™ cloud-like consumption model.
Pure Storage has achieved several critical milestones over the past
year contributing to its evolution into a platform organization,
including:
- Introduction of FlashArray//E™: An expansion
of the Pure//E Family, FlashArray//E enables customers to eliminate
the last hard disk drives in their data center by delivering the
simplicity and efficiency of flash for all file and block data
repositories. With FlashArray//E, customers benefit from an 80%
reduction in power and space, 60% lower operational costs, and 85%
less e-waste compared to disk.
- Release of Next-Gen FlashArray//X™ and
FlashArray//C™ R4 Models: With a 40% performance
boost, over 80% increased memory speeds, and a 30% inline
compression boost to stretch capacity compared to the prior models,
the new models arm global customers with the data agility,
performance, security, and cost savings needed to seamlessly and
economically scale business operations.
- General Availability of File Services for FlashArray: A
storage service enabling organizations to access native block and
file services from a single, global pool of storage resources, File
Services eliminates the need for pre-planning storage growth and
offers a unified policy management system that dramatically cuts
administration time.
- First-of-its-Kind Evergreen//One Ransomware Recovery
SLA: Existing and new Evergreen//One customers can now purchase
an add-on service guarantee for a clean storage environment
following a ransomware attack. The SLA guarantees a next business
day window to ship clean storage arrays, 48-hours to finalize a
recovery plan started at any time, a data transfer rate of 8
TiB/hour, and a professional services engineer onsite through
RMA.
- Impact on Enterprise Sustainability: On the heels of
introducing the Pure1 Sustainability Assessment, Pure Storage
released the first and only energy efficiency guarantee in the
enterprise storage as-a-service market: the Evergreen//One Energy
Efficiency SLA, enabling customers to measure the maximum number of
actual Watts per tebibyte (TiB). Additionally, with the FlashArray
product line, customers can achieve up to 85% energy and emissions
savings compared to competitive flash-based products, based on Pure
Storage's latest ESG analysis, conducted by a third party.
The current FlashArray family now includes FlashArray//E,
FlashArray//X, FlashArray//C, FlashArray//XL™, Pure
Cloud Block Store, and Pure Fusion™ - all of
which are underpinned by Pure Storage's AIOps platform in Pure1.
Pure Storage's Evergreen portfolio includes Evergreen//One,
Evergreen//Flex™, and
Evergreen//Forever™. Evergreen//One now offers a
suite of six concurrent SLAs focused on eliminating downtime for
upgrades, an uptime guarantee, a storage capacity buffer relative
to usage, unrivaled storage performance aligned with service tier,
an energy efficiency guarantee, and a clean array next-day
guarantee for ransomware recovery.
