MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.,
Nov. 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- Pure Storage (NYSE:PSTG), the market's leading independent
all-flash data platform vendor for the cloud era, announced today
that CRN, a brand of The Channel Company, has recognized the
company with a 2017 CRN Tech Innovator Award. These annual awards
honor standout hardware, software or services that have helped to
move the IT industry forward. This year, CRN editors evaluated 216
products across 32 technology categories using several criteria
including technological advancements, uniqueness of features and
potential to help solution providers solve end users' IT
challenges. Pure Storage's FlashArray//X took top honors in the
Storage category.
Data has emerged as the most valuable asset of any organization,
and the leaders of the digital and cloud era will be organizations
that most effectively use data to drive innovation. In April 2017, Pure Storage introduced
FlashArray//X, the first enterprise-class, direct-to-flash,
all-NVMe array. FlashArray//X is ideal for supporting enterprise
database acceleration, tier 1 consolidation and performance, as
well as new use cases such as top of rack DAS replacement.
Engineered with new Purity DirectFlash Software and NVMe
DirectFlash Modules that significantly surpass the protocol
enhancements of NVMe, FlashArray//X eliminates bottlenecks and
delivers next-generation system performance that is unique in the
industry. Customers require ways to unlock the value of their data,
and Pure Storage partners can help with this solution that provides
dramatic improvements in density, performance and scale.
FlashArray//X demonstrates continued innovation from Pure and
creates additional opportunities for partners to offer complete
tier one solutions that address needs throughout the infrastructure
stack, as well as multi-cloud architectures.
"Pure partners deliver a technology and business advantage as
customers invest in consolidated infrastructure and applications
for greater efficiency and productivity; these organizations will
increasingly rely on high performance and highly reliable storage
to address their fast-growing data needs," said Michael Sotnick, VP of Global Field and Channel
Operations, Pure Storage. "FlashArray//X helps organizations turn
data into opportunity and deliver better business outcomes. We are
thrilled that Pure's FlashArray//X innovation is being recognized
by CRN with this award."
"The vendors and products on CRN's Tech Innovator list represent
some of the most creative and forward-thinking achievements yet
seen in the IT channel," said Robert
Faletra, CEO of The Channel Company. "We are honored to
celebrate their ingenuity and the growth they are driving across
the industry, from increased organizational productivity and sales
to expanded solutions for complex problems and trailblazing
innovation."
The Tech Innovator Awards will be featured in the December issue
of CRN and can be viewed online at crn.com/techinnovators.
