Pure expands environmental analysis across its
full product portfolio; Pure1 Sustainability Assessment introduced
to help customers measure and manage their energy use
MOUNTAIN
VIEW, Calif., Sept. 21,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Pure Storage® (NYSE:
PSTG), the IT pioneer that delivers the world's most advanced data
storage technology and services, today announced advancements in
its sustainability efforts, helping customers dramatically reduce
their energy use and environmental footprint.
Sustainability has been a part of Pure Storage's DNA from its
inception as a disruptive innovator in the storage industry. As
sustainability and energy savings become increasingly critical to
organizations around the globe, Pure is continuing to invest in
helping customers achieve their environmental and energy reduction
goals.
The new Pure1® Sustainability Assessment gives
customers visibility on their environmental impact and proactively
suggests optimization opportunities. Features include:
- Power savings analysis: Pure1 will show the power used compared
to the appliance's nominal power load. Customers can monitor power
consumption efficiency for an entire fleet, by data center site, or
at the individual array.
- Greenhouse gas emissions monitor: Pure1 provides direct carbon
usage estimates based on power used.
- Assessment: Customers can use Pure1 to assess how to improve
power efficiency by metering Watts per unit of data on the array
that can be read back.
- Recommendations: Pure1 provides proactive insights and guidance
on improving direct carbon footprint.
In addition to delivering new sustainability tools, Pure
continues to advance its core products to be more sustainable. With
the launch of the FlashBlade//S™ family of products, Pure is
delivering more than double the power efficiency of previous
versions. Because of unique design decisions – including Pure's
DirectFlash technology, built-for-flash software, always-on deep
compression, and Evergreen™ architecture – both
FlashBlade® and FlashArray™ can achieve energy savings
unlike any competitive storage systems on the market.
Since reporting its first sustainability results in March 2022, Pure Storage has now performed use
phase sustainability analyses following the Life Cycle Assessments
(LCA) formula across its full portfolio of storage arrays,
including the new FlashBlade//S. Pure delivers:
- 84.7% in direct energy savings vs. competitive all-flash for
FlashArray//X™
- 80% in direct energy savings vs. competitive all-flash for
FlashArray//XL™
- 75% in direct energy savings vs. competitive hybrid for
FlashArray//C™
- 67% in direct energy savings vs. competitive legacy all-flash
for FlashBlade//S
- 60% in direct energy savings vs. competitive upstart all-flash
for FlashBlade//S
As a customer first organization, Pure Storage is focused on
making a real and immediate impact in reducing customers'
environmental footprints.
"Our mission at Cengage Group is to make education attainable
for all learners by delivering accessible and affordable digital
education resources and solutions. Running our organization on Pure
Storage FlashArray, FlashBlade, Pure1 and Evergreen//One™, has not

we've been able to reduce our overall storage footprint by 80%
while doubling to tripling the performance of our previous storage
systems." -- Jim Chilton, CIO,

"Pure FlashBlade has helped us make tremendous progress in NTU's
supercomputing projects. It has also freed up computing resources,
and enabled us to optimize rack space usage, leading to improved
power and cooling efficiencies. With Pure Evergreen//Forever™, we
also foresee a positive environmental benefit by not having to
undergo wholesale hardware changes during technology refreshes." --
Alvin Ong, CIO, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
"Pure FlashStack enabled us to easily handle increasing
workloads to meet customer demands. Our rack also went from 12 to

Hector Romero, Senior Systems
Engineer, Barfoot & Thompson
"As a company that has been mapping Great Britain in extreme detail for over 230
years, it comes as no surprise that the environment is really
important to us. Our maps are used by everyday walkers and
emergency services alike, and being able to provide that service

footprint is a key focus of ours. Pure has empowered us to achieve
all of these goals and we're delighted with our collaboration so
far." – Lloyd Clarke, Virtualisation
