MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.,
Dec. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- Pure Storage® (NYSE: PSTG), the IT pioneer that delivers
storage as-a-service in a multi-cloud world, today announced
FlashArray//XL, the newest member of the FlashArray family,
designed for mission-critical, platinum tier enterprise
applications - from massive databases to containerized and
cloud-native apps. FlashArray//XL delivers unmatched performance
and scale with a nearly 80% improvement in IOPS.
With the pace of business only increasing, application demand
can shoot up in an instant and the need for new apps to be deployed
requires IT to work in hours, not months. Previously, the largest
enterprises had to scale their top tier applications with legacy
technology that required high management complexity, high power and
energy costs, and disruptive forklift upgrades.
Now, with the new FlashArray//XL and Pure Fusion - Pure's
self-service, autonomous Storage-as-Code platform - Pure continues
to add enterprise-grade scale to its promise of subscription
storage that easily evolves to keep IT infrastructure agile and
up-to-date.
FlashArray//XL delivers:
- Strength to run the most demanding business services:
Accelerate enterprise workloads with maximum performance even as
they scale to operate at increased loads, with 100% more host
connectivity and two times more volume support on a single
array.
- Cloud-like model for deploying new apps quickly and
easily: Designed to work in concert, Pure Fusion and
FlashArray//XL give enterprises Storage-as-Code access to cloud
scale, enabling platinum-level storage tiers and data policies with
robust tools to optimize storage pools and workload placement.
- Efficiency and density to consolidate applications for
maximum TCO and green data center standards: Enable workload
consolidation on fewer arrays to simplify operations, reduce rack
space requirements, and significantly reduce power consumption and
cooling costs.
- Always-on data protection that's savvy to ransomware
threats: Ensure that data stored on FlashArray//XL is secure,
available, and easily recoverable after disruptions, including
malicious attacks.
- Future-proof with Evergreen subscription: Get immediate
access to ever-improving capabilities with a right-size guarantee
and non-disruptive upgrades and capacity expansions as storage
needs evolve.
FlashArray //XL and Pure Fusion were built to meet demand from
new customers who wanted to standardize their storage environments
on the simplicity of the Pure subscription model but needed new
levels of scale. This demand is already seeing early validation
with pre-release orders to standardize top enterprise workloads on
FlashArray//XL arrays, as customers eliminate the last remnants of
their legacy Dell EMC footprint.
"Customers expect a new, modern way to scale enterprise storage.
FlashArray//XL is a clear shot across the bow of legacy storage
vendors by combining high-end scale of a true enterprise-class
array with the scale-out agility of the cloud operating model." --
Shawn Hansen, VP and GM, FlashArray,
Pure Storage
"For top tier applications like massive databases, enterprises
need maximum performance and density, but they also want the
control of their own datacenter and the agility and flexibility of
the cloud. Enterprise-class storage solutions like the
FlashArray//XL that are coupled with the cloud operating model give
customers the best of both worlds." -- Eric
Burgener, Research Vice President, Enterprise Infrastructure
Practice, IDC
"The announcement of the FlashArray//XL series underscores
Pure's unwavering commitment to delivering market leading storage
services. It is exciting and exceptionally gratifying to see a
partner with the same dedication to supporting even the most
demanding workloads. It's clear that the new //XL platform will
ensure continued support to our growing and expanding data services
portfolio and ecosystem." -- James
Laming, VP, Global Head of Infrastructure, Options
