Summary
Pure Storage has been chosen by Meta as the foundation for its storage infrastructure, marking a transformative milestone in the transition to flash technology. This decision highlights leadership from Pure Storage in delivering unmatched reliability, scalability, and efficiency.
In a move that redefines what the industry thought possible, Pure Storage has been selected by a major hyperscaler as the foundation of its storage infrastructure. This groundbreaking decision highlights the transformative impact of our software and hardware platform, reinforcing our leadership ahead of traditional hard drives and off-the-shelf SSDs.
This tremendous milestone validates our 15 years of innovation in enhancing flash reliability, delivering unmatched scalability, and simplifying operations to achieve more with less. It is a breakthrough that not only highlights the inevitability of the transition to flash but also demonstrates that what was once considered too challenging or cost prohibitive is now a reality.
Why Did Meta Choose Pure Storage?
In a landscape where innovation, performance, and efficiency are paramount, the hyperscaler awarded the design win to Pure Storage for its unrivaled ability to meet the challenges of scale, performance, and sustainability. Here’s why:
- Unmatched reliability at scale. Our company’s proven track record of consistent, reliable performance is now validated at the largest scale, empowering hyperscalers and enterprises to handle even the most demanding workloads. With Purity and DirectFlash®, Pure Storage delivers exceptional reliability, boasting annualized average return rates of just 0.15%, compared to over 1% for off-the-shelf SSDs, a key factor in the hyperscaler’s decision to trust Pure Storage.
- Massive impact on power savings and availability. Our DirectFlash Modules drastically reduce power consumption compared to legacy hard disk storage solutions, allowing hyperscalers to consolidate multiple tiers into a unified platform. This efficiency lowers operational costs and ensures consistent, high availability for critical workloads, meeting the growing demands of AI and data-driven applications without compromise.
- Accelerated time to value. Our joint design win allows this hyperscaler to leverage over 15 years of innovation, helping them significantly reduce their time to market for a more performant and efficient environment, ultimately giving them a competitive advantage.
- One consistent architecture across multiple tiers. Pure Storage enables hyperscalers and enterprises with a single, streamlined architecture that powers all storage tiers, ranging from cost-efficient archive solutions to high-performance, mission-critical workloads and the most demanding AI workloads. Out unique approach simplifies operations and resiliency, enhances efficiency, and ensures consistent performance across an entire storage infrastructure.
- Unparalleled price and performance at hyperscale. Our unique DirectFlash technology delivers an optimal balance of price, performance, and density. Coupled with our industry-leading software, Purity, which allows hyperscalers to globally manage flash while eliminating storage overprovisioning, it ensures cost-effectiveness with consistent performance at scale.
This Is Only the Beginning of Industry Transformation
