Slow applications, disruptive operations, and burdensome management are just few of the issues that Small-to-Medium Enterprises have to deal with on a regular basis. IT fires consume time and resources for these organizations and prevent them from focusing on activities that grow their business. Although all-flash storage can help address these issues at their source, it has been largely out of reach due to cost. These organizations have been waiting for a storage solution that is reliable and simple – yet also affordable. We are excited to announce that the new FlashArray//m10* delivers all-flash storage starting at less than $50K and with the same enterprise-level features and extreme simplicity of the FlashArray //m family.
The FlashArray //m10 includes all software and fully supports the Evergreen Storage model, only available from Pure. With Evergreen Storage, you keep all your capacity as you grow, and you don’t re-purchase it even across product generations. Evergreen Storage means less hassle, less risk, and less cost.
