Efficiency saves money. Sounds pretty logical, doesn’t it? Check out ESG’s report on the Economics of Improved Storage Efficiency with Pure. Using research and economic validation, ESG confirms the effectiveness of Pure’s storage-efficiency technology compared to alternative vendors.

Case Study: SoftBank
Japan-based SoftBank Corp. strives to stand out from its competitors in the telecommunication industry with its vision and commitment. SoftBank Corp. has one of the largest virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) deployments in Japan. The company greatly improved performance and operational efficiency by upgrading its VDI for employees and customers with Pure Storage solutions.
“We selected Pure Storage for VDI especially for its deduplication technology and non-disruptive operation that were ahead of competitors,” says Toshio Takeuchi, head of SoftBank’s Service Promotion Office.
As a result of using all-flash storage from Pure, the company significantly improved I/O performance. In addition, it reduced data by one-eighth with Pure’s inline deduplication and compression. Read the full SoftBank case study.
