Delivering the benefits of flash at better
economics than disk, Pure makes the all-flash data center a
reality
MOUNTAIN
VIEW, Calif., March 1,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Pure Storage®
(NYSE: PSTG), the IT pioneer that delivers the world's most
advanced data storage technology and services, today announced
FlashBlade//E™, a scale-out unstructured data repository built to
handle exponential data growth with industry-leading energy
efficiency. At an acquisition cost competitive with disk and much
lower operational costs, the introduction of FlashBlade//E means
that customers no longer need to settle for disk.
News Highlights:
FlashBlade//E provides a better way to manage unstructured data
growth efficiently, reliably, and sustainably with a best-in-class
user experience and economics that enable customers to eliminate
the last remnants of disk in their data center.
- Economical at scale: FlashBlade//E is offered at under
$0.20 per GB including three years of
service. The platform starts at 4PB and scales from there with
reliable performance.
- Industry-leading energy efficiency: FlashBlade//E consumes up
to 5x less power than the disk-based systems it will replace. The
larger the system the greater the efficiency, helping organizations
achieve their increasingly critical sustainability goals.
- Simplicity, reliability, and a non-disruptive future:
FlashBlade//E is built to flex and grow on demand with 10-20x more
reliability than hard disk based systems and evolving without
disruption or forklift upgrades. With cloud-like simplicity,
flexibility and predictable performance, FlashBlade//E remains
simple to manage at any scale.
FlashBlade//E will be generally available by the end of
April 2023. In addition to
traditional purchase, customers will have the option to deploy
FlashBlade//E through a new service tier of Pure's
Evergreen//One Storage as-a-Service
(STaaS) subscription, providing pay-as-you-go economics and a cloud
experience with the control of on-premises deployment.
Industry Significance:
For global organizations, unstructured data capacity is expected
to grow by 10x before 2030. For large-capacity, price-sensitive
workloads that use current disk-based storage solutions, this
growth is unsustainable.
Disk-based systems are a burden on many enterprises' IT teams
and budgets as they are challenging to manage, require massive
amounts of power, take up large amounts of space and their
components fail too often, causing disruption and risking valuable
data. Ultimately, this diminishes the ability to derive business
value from data. While modern file and object storage solutions are
capable of addressing many of these challenges, they haven't been a
viable option for large unstructured data repositories that are
price-sensitive – until now.
Executive Insight:
"With FlashBlade//E, we're realizing our founder's original
vision of the all-flash data center. For workloads where flash was
once price-prohibitive, we are thrilled to provide customers the
major benefits Pure delivers at a TCO lower than disk." -
Amy Fowler, VP & General
Manager, FlashBlade, Pure Storage
"As our customers' unstructured data growth continues to
accelerate, there is demand for more sustainable and scalable
storage solutions for everyday workloads. We are excited to be able
to meet this need with FlashBlade//E, providing the simplicity and
power savings Pure is known for at an acquisition cost lower than
disk-based solutions." – Brian
Bartell, Practice Manager for Primary Storage, WWT
"While the benefits of flash for high-powered workloads have
been largely acknowledged, disk's price point has limited broader
perception of its full potential use. Nevertheless, the need for a
modern platform to accommodate the rise in unstructured data at
scale is evident. FlashBlade//E's promise of a more cost-effective,
energy-efficient and easier-to-manage approach to everyday
workloads makes a compelling case for leaving disk behind. " –
Scott Sinclair, Practice Director,
Enterprise Strategy Group
