Latest recognition marks ninth consecutive
year of Pure Storage's position as a Gartner Magic Quadrant
Leader
MOUNTAIN
VIEW, Calif., Oct. 19,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Pure Storage® (NYSE:
PSTG), the IT pioneer that delivers the world's most advanced data
storage technology and services, today announced it has been
positioned by Gartner as a Leader in the Magic Quadrant for Primary
Storage. This marks the ninth1 consecutive year of
recognition in the Magic Quadrant for Pure Storage. This is also
the third consecutive year that Pure Storage has been positioned
highest on the Ability to Execute axis and furthest on the
Completeness of Vision axis, which we believe validates its
leadership across the enterprise storage industry.
Pure Storage's FlashArray™ product line began as a pioneering
all-flash storage array built for high performance block
storage-based applications. Since then, it has expanded beyond
block to also include file storage use cases from a single array
without losing any of the performance, ease of use and reliability
that has become synonymous with Pure Storage.
The current FlashArray family includes the performance-optimized
FlashArray//X™ and FlashArray//XL™ models, built to handle the most
data intensive workloads at almost any level of scale; the
QLC-based FlashArray//C™, which is rapidly making hybrid and
disk-based storage arrays obsolete from a price and performance
standpoint; Pure Cloud Block Store, a cloud-based, data
services-rich offering allowing enterprises to confidently run
business critical application in Microsoft Azure and AWS; and most
recently, Pure Fusion™, a SaaS control plane enabling customers to
transform storage arrays into an autonomous storage-as-code
platform providing cloud-like self-service for end users. The full
portfolio of products is now underpinned by Pure Storage's AIOps
platform in Pure1®.
"We believe Pure has become the clear leader in disrupting the
storage industry," said Shawn
Hansen, VP and General Manager, FlashArray, Pure Storage.
"We led with the first designed-for-flash enterprise array and
as-a-service business models. Now as we've unveiled the industry's
first self-service, storage-as-code product, the market is entering
the next stage of rapid change as it speeds towards the simplicity
and automation of a cloud operating model, everywhere."
FlashArray has achieved several milestones over the past year,
including:
- Introduction of FlashArray//XL: The newest member of the
FlashArray family, FlashArray//XL is 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.
- General Availability of Pure Fusion: Pure Fusion is now
generally available, offering not just a self-service provisioning
user experience but also a Storage-as-Code experience that enables
developers to tap into even faster provisioning and the autonomous
backend to support cloud scale.
- Heightened Data Security with the release of Purity//FA
6.3: the latest Purity//FA release delivers always on data
protection for enterprises everywhere. Auto-on SafeMode™ Snapshots
adds protection that is on by default, providing immutable
protection, without the need to change an organization's existing
setup, environment, or processes.
- Impact on Enterprise Sustainability: The FlashArray
family supports enterprises' most strategic sustainability
initiatives, helping customers to dramatically reduce their energy
use and environmental footprint. With FlashArray products,
customers can achieve up to 84.7% in direct energy savings compared
to competing solutions.
