MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.,
July 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- Pure Storage® (NYSE: PSTG), the IT pioneer that delivers
storage as-a-service in a multi-cloud world, today announced
further expansion of its robust subscription services portfolio.
With FlashStack delivered as-a-Service, customers can leverage Pure
and Cisco's AI-based software-defined infrastructure with flexible
consumption economics. For applications running on Kubernetes,
Portworx Cloud Consumption aligns spend to actual hours of
usage.
Demand for flexible, pay-as-you-go consumption has never been
greater, as customers come to expect the same cloud consumption
model and experience whether their solutions and infrastructure is
on-premises, at the edge, or in the cloud.
Launched in 2018 as the first true service consumption model for
storage, Pure as-a-Service has seen incredible growth and adoption
across all industries and geographies, delivering flexibility,
transparency, and simplicity, while satisfying performance and
capacity Service Level Agreements (SLAs) with proactive monitoring
and non-disruptive upgrades. By continuing to expand its
as-a-Service offerings - which unify block, file, fast-file and
object storage across all tiers of performance, and private and
public clouds into a single data-storage subscription - Pure is not
only meeting customers need for flexibility, but providing the
foundation of a true hybrid-cloud experience.
"Pure is committed to delivering the gold standard of
as-a-Service solutions in the storage industry. By continuing to
expand the breadth and depth of our subscription services
portfolio, we are giving our customers the flexibility and
transparency to scale with confidence, knowing that Pure will meet
the SLAs needed to power their business." -- Prakash Darji, VP and GM, Digital Experience
Business Unit, Pure Storage
FlashStack as-a-Service
FlashStack as-a Service from Pure Storage and Cisco is an
AI-based, software-defined modern data infrastructure that
integrates on-premises and multi-cloud landscapes. Discretely
scalable and holistically managed, FlashStack delivers a full-stack
solution for critical apps that is always-on and future-proof.
Customers can slash deployment and administration time and risk
with pre-tested, validated reference architectures for popular
workloads. By delivering a modern operational model, FlashStack
helps customers stay ahead of business demand and protect
applications and data on premises, at the edge, or in the
cloud.
Portworx Cloud Consumption
Portworx, the "gold standard" in Kubernetes storage for the
enterprise according to GigaOm Research, allows customers to
operate and scale their modern enterprise apps consistently on any
cloud or data center with the performance, security, and data
protection they are used to. Because cloud native applications
running on Kubernetes are highly dynamic, estimating the exact
number of servers needed to run applications on Kubernetes is a
significant challenge which leads to overprovisioning and higher
costs.
To solve this challenge, Portworx is introducing flexibility to
allow customers' consumption of Portworx to match the ebbs and
flows of their applications. Previously, customers would purchase
one or more annual Portworx licenses which could each be run on any
single server. If they needed to scale beyond the number of
licenses purchased, however, they would have to contact sales to
purchase additional licenses. With the new flexible pricing,
customers purchase a number of hours, rather than a license tied to
a single server. These hours can be consumed at any rate throughout
the year depending on how many servers they need to run, similar to
how public cloud reserved instance pricing works.
"As enterprises increasingly desire as-a-Service solutions and a
cloud-like experience, Pure has been an incredible partner in
delivering robust and differentiated services to our joint clients.
We are excited to see Pure's continued expansion of its
subscription services portfolio, now with FlashStack as-a-Service
and Portworx Cloud Consumption." -- Juan
Orlandini, Chief Architect, Cloud + Data Center
