CLARA, Calif., April 9,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Pure Storage®, the IT pioneer
that delivers the world's most advanced data storage technology and
services, today announced that Andra, the French National
Agency for Radioactive Waste Management, turned to Pure Storage to
modernize its IT infrastructure with a secure, reliable, and
resilient data storage platform that fulfills sustainability
regulations and requirements.
Customer Challenge:
Andra conducts highly sensitive missions regarding long-term
management of dangerous radioactive substances. Due to the nature
of the data it looks after and the increase in cyber attacks, the
agency needed a modern, easy to manage solution which met security
and reliability needs.
Sustainability and energy efficiency were also critical
concerns, as the organization looked to debunk any misconceptions
about the environmental impact of nuclear waste management,
focusing efforts on becoming an environmentally-conscious
agency.
Customer Impact:
With Pure Storage, Andra is optimizing the lifespan of its data
storage hardware, while benefiting from unmatched flexibility in
how it manages and consumes data storage. Benefits include:
- Reduced Energy Consumption: Pure Storage's platform has
helped Andra to reduce the total energy consumption of its data
center by 20%; reduce its physical footprint by 80% (from 30U to
6U); and cut its CO2 emissions by 4 tons per year. Additionally,
Pure's Evergreen® architecture helps Andra better manage the
product lifecycle and reduce e-waste by enabling non-disruptive
software and hardware upgrades.
- Simple, AIOps-Driven Storage Management: Pure1®, the
cloud-based, AIOps-driven data storage management platform,
empowers Andra to leverage predictive analytics to proactively
respond to dynamic conditions. With Pure1, Andra can integrate
vCenter, and benefit from capacity planning, as well as SafeMode™
Snapshots from Pure Storage.
- Reliable, Secure Data Platform: Pure Storage FlashArray™
prevents downtime and contributes to Andra's business continuity
plan, while immutable SafeMode snapshots from Pure Storage enhance
Andra's data protection strategy by enabling clean copies of data
to restore from in the event of a cyber attack.

chose Pure Storage with a long term view of operating the solution
for the next decade. Pure's Evergreen architecture empowers Andra
with always-on access to innovation, with the freedom to upgrade,
scale, and modernize without any re-purchases or downtime
