With the new fleet-level Evergreen//Flex, enterprises can
balance the benefits of a cloud operating model with traditional
hardware ownership
LOS
ANGELES, June 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today at
Pure//Accelerate® techfest22, Pure Storage® (NYSE: PSTG), the IT
pioneer that delivers the world's most advanced data storage
technology and services, reaffirmed its commitment to deliver
simple, reliable, and scalable storage with the introduction of
Evergreen//Flex, a new fleet-level Evergreen architecture, which
extends the power of Pure's Evergreen™ technology to the full Pure
portfolio. By unlocking and moving stranded storage capacity to
where it is needed most, Evergreen//Flex enables unrivaled storage
efficiency and grows Pure's portfolio of Evergreen-based
subscription services.
The inflexible, labor-intensive delivery of traditional storage
has long challenged organizations embarking on transformation –
from high costs, short technology refresh cycles, forklift
upgrades, and storage rebuys to unplanned downtime, high-risk data
migration, and overall data storage complexity.
Global enterprises, however, are on a path to embrace flexible,
consumption-based operating models, and are increasingly investing
in modern technologies and services that optimize for stronger
value over time. To support customers in this journey, Pure
redefined the antiquated business models underpinning traditional
storage infrastructure, enabling enterprises to bring data storage
capacity where it is needed most, ultimately driving flexibility
and efficiency across the industry.
Pioneered in 2015, Pure's subscription-based Evergreen Storage
program paved the way for the new era of IT ownership by delivering
a true subscription to innovation. Often imitated, but never
matched by industry peers, Evergreen prioritizes cost efficiencies,
a longer, sustainable technology lifecycle, and modernization
without disruption. Since launch, the program has successfully
delivered over 10,000 non-disruptive controller upgrades to more
than 3,000 customers. Recognizing the need for further flexibility
and transparency across storage, Pure launched the first true
consumption-based service model for storage, Evergreen//One
(formerly Pure as-a-Service), in 2018.
To advance its unrivaled leadership in delivering
Storage-as-a-Service (STaaS) while supporting customers where they
are in the journey to embracing flexible delivery models, Pure is
expanding its broad portfolio of Evergreen offerings:
- Evergreen//Forever (formerly Evergreen Gold):
Evergreen//Forever offers organizations traditional appliance
ownership with a subscription to software, ever-modern hardware,
and a world-class customer experience. Evergreen//Forever ensures
organizations are benefiting from an always-modern infrastructure
subscription to support a system that gets better over time.
- Evergreen//Flex: A new fleet-level Evergreen
architecture, offering users an unprecedented way of running
storage efficiently, while saving power. Evergreen//Flex provides
the flexibility and adaptability to move performance and stranded
capacity to where data and applications need it most, with the
security and control that comes from ownership. The latest model
brings the modernization of Evergreen//Forever beyond the box, and
is the most efficient way to run a fleet of storage enabled by an
asset utilization model.
- Evergreen//One (formerly Pure as-a-Service):
Evergreen//One offers organizations a true consumption-based
service model for storage, delivering flexibility, transparency,
and simplicity, along with proactive monitoring and non-disruptive
upgrades while satisfying performance and usage SLAs. With
Evergreen//One, Pure takes on the responsibility of delivering
storage where it is required, offering on-demand storage service
with the flexibility of on-premises deployment.
"The growth of our Evergreen portfolio is a testament to Pure's
commitment to uncomplicating data storage and meeting customers
where they are in their transformation to embrace new consumption
models. Further distinguished with the launch of Evergreen//Flex,
Pure offers the broadest procurement flexibility and choice across
the storage industry today. We're incredibly excited to continue
offering our customers the ability to achieve better outcomes with
flexible, simple storage." – Prakash
Darji, General Manager, Digital Experience Business Unit,
Pure Storage
"Enterprises want modern, flexible storage consumption models
that enable agility and adaptability as customer demands fluctuate.
The growing Pure Storage Evergreen portfolio – and the addition of
Evergreen//Flex – not only balances the need for flexibility and
simplicity, but drives high performance and scalable, efficient
outcomes to support customer growth." – Susan Middleton, Research Vice President,
Flexible Consumption and Financing Strategies for IT
