The ‘I Want It All’ Storage Solution for Uncompromising IT Leaders

Being an IT leader in modern times is being on an unending quest for storage agility. Because you’re asked to deliver what seems to be the impossible: blazing-fast performance, bulletproof reliability, and boundless scalability. And you must deliver it all on a budget that’s never quite big enough. 

Oh, and could you increase computing power while using less energy too? Thanks.

Having such an agile storage solution may seem impossible, but it’s not. For more than 11 years, thousands of IT leaders have been meeting their most challenging storage demands with the Pure Storage platform. 

Here’s what Pure Storage has made possible for our customers:

100% Uptime and 96% Less Energy Use

Virgin Media O2, a leading UK telecom company, was growing fast, but the IT team postponed upgrades to avoid service outages. IT had to act soon because some of the legacy technology was risking failure. Adding to their pressure, the new system also had to support the company’s goal of net zero emissions by 2040. So, the IT team deployed the Pure Storage platform. The result:

• Scaled data capabilities 3x with no service disruption to customers
• Reduced power consumption by 96%
• Cut data center floor space by 90%

“We know that deploying Pure Storage is quick and simple. As our data volumes grow, we’ll be able to easily scale our capabilities without worrying about the storage that our business relies on.” –Ajit Sharma, Business Optimization Manager, Virgin Media O2

10x Faster Computing Power and Fast-flexing Storage

Health 2030 is a Swiss genome sequencing and analysis center. Its bio analysts were generating more data than their legacy storage could handle. The company didn’t just need more storage, they also required a solution that quickly adapted to their fluctuating volumes of data. Depending on the projects in progress, their storage volume requirements could quickly go from zero to 200TB and vice versa. So the IT team turned to Pure Storage to gain higher performance and agility, including:

• 10x faster access to unstructured data
• 2x faster transfer speed of large data volumes
• Less time spent on managing and administering storage

“Thanks to Pure, analysis data are available 10 times faster on the platform used by researchers and clinicians, and the transfer speed to the customer site has been multiplied by two.” –Arnaud Hungler, IT Manager, Genome Center

25% More Cost-effective Storage

SaskTel Business Solutions is a key telco services provider to Saskatchewan’s businesses. The company’s multiple legacy storage systems were complex and time-consuming to manage. SaskTel often overbought storage capacity to stay ahead of customer needs and avoid downtime, which prevented the team from using the budget on other projects. The IT team adopted Pure Storage to gain operational and financial flexibility to remain competitive. A few cost advantages include:

• 25% savings over other storage solutions
• Cutting storage management needs
• Only paying for storage used

“Pure Evergreen//One means I don’t have to worry about paying for 50 terabytes of storage I won’t use, knowing I’ll never recoup the cost. I get the capacity and performance levels I need to easily match our most complex customer workloads.” –Cole Weselak, Solution Architect, SaskTel

The quest for IT agility is no longer a luxury but a necessity. The Pure Storage platform gives you the flexibility of a cloud solution with the control of on-prem. And our system is so efficient that it delivers high performance while consuming less energy.
