MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.,
July 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Pure
Storage® (NYSE: PSTG), the IT pioneer that delivers
storage as-a-service in a multi-cloud world, today announced it has
reached a new growth milestone for its subscription-based
Evergreen™ Storage program, with over 2,700 customers having done
non-disruptive storage upgrades and the average number of upgrades
having grown 38% year-over-year for the last five years. The
consistent growth of Evergreen serves as a foundation for Pure's
strategy to deliver simple, reliable and scalable storage
as-a-service (STaaS) and a seamless bridge to the cloud.
Unveiled in 2015, Evergreen challenged the status quo of
traditional storage delivery, which was marked by high costs,
3-5-year technology refresh cycles, forklift upgrades, storage
rebuys, unplanned downtime, high-risk data migration, and overall
data storage complexity. Evergreen has paved the way for the new
era of IT ownership by enabling customers with a subscription to
innovation that reduces costs, creates a longer and more
sustainable technology lifecycle, and allows them to continue to
modernize their organizations with zero disruptions to respond to
changing business needs.
Evergreen's momentum, combined with Pure as-a-Service™, a true
consumption-based STaaS offering, and Pure Cloud Block Store™,
which provides seamless data mobility across on-premises and cloud
environments, is a testament to Pure's expanding and unified
subscription strategy. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2022,
Pure's subscription services revenue grew 35% year-over-year.
"Organizations are increasingly turning to subscription-based,
as-a-Service solutions to drive agility and eliminate the negative
impacts of planned maintenance. The incredible momentum of
Evergreen reaffirms our commitment to helping organizations achieve
a high level of manageability and simplicity when it comes to their
data storage needs." -- Prakash
Darji, VP and GM, Digital Experience Business Unit, Pure
Storage.
While conventional storage upgrades require a complete overhaul
of an organization's IT infrastructure, including removing outdated
storage and replacing it with the latest technology, Pure's
Evergreen Storage is completely disruption-free, eliminates storage
rebuys, and provides investment protection. To date, the
program has successfully delivered over 7,000 non-disruptive
controller upgrades to Pure's growing customer-base, eliminating
downtime, performance impact, data migrations and forklift
upgrades.
Global customers and early adopters are continuing to benefit
from Evergreen's ease of use, seamless upgrades and overall
simplicity, including Chapman
University, Nanyang Technological
University, and Solideo:
"The Evergreen program is a huge advantage to working with Pure.
We've been able to continually upgrade to new generation
controllers to take advantage of things like NVMe. We're so
confident in the non-disruptive nature of the upgrades that we
schedule them on weekday afternoons. They take ten minutes without
any of our users or services hosted on the arrays even noticing."
-- James Kelly, Oracle DBA and
Storage Administrator, Chapman
University
"Evergreen's non-disruptive upgrades have simplified the
management of our infrastructure dramatically." -- Alan Ong, CIO, Nanyang
Technological University, Singapore
"Pure knows better than anyone else how to integrate new
technologies into its storage solutions while maintaining
simplicity, which suits our IT team perfectly. Pure Evergreen
Storage allows us to upgrade our storage capacity
non-disruptively—without changing hardware or questioning our
initial investment." -- Marc
Duong, CISO-CIO, SOLIDÉO
