Pure’s Evergreen services are the company’s answer for protection for storage investments, avoiding functionality loss over time and expensive data and hardware migrations. In the fourth quarter, Pure saw more customers citing energy efficiency as a reason to choose Pure than in any previous quarter to date.Įnvironmental benefits aside, customers are also increasingly compelled to get more out of storage at a lower total cost of ownership (TCO), given the backdrop of increasing energy prices.Īvoiding painful data migration and forklift upgrades In addition to power savings, there are also reduced labor costs and increased reliability benefits.Īccording to Pure, product sustainability continues to grow in importance with its customers. Flash-optimized systems use five to ten times less power than hard disk systems, so there is tremendous potential for power reduction. Suppose we estimate that data storage power usage as a percentage of the overall data center today is 25%, with most data stored on hard disks. Meeting ESG goals with an all-flash data centerĮnvironmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations for data centers are vital, given the impact of data centers on global energy demand and the ever-increasing demand for data storage. Additionally, the operating costs for FlashBlade//E will be lower than hard disk systems according to Pure, customers that use it can expect a 5x to 10x reduction in costs for power, space, cooling and labor.
The acquisition cost for the FlashBlade//E makes it competitive with lower-performing hard disk systems. Pure announced that the FlashBlade//E would be available for under $0.20 per gigabyte at a system level, including the first three years of subscription.
