Summary
Managing unstructured data has become a major issue for organizations. FlashBlade//E has revolutionized unstructured data storage with its dense, reliable, and scalable all-flash design that’s built for today, and tomorrow.
The new year presents the dawn of a new era for financial institutions to rethink their unstructured data storage strategy—and with good reason.
New research estimates that as much as 90% of enterprise data is now unstructured, posing an immense challenge for IT teams tasked with managing these booming workloads.
In fact, according to industry research, 61% of IT leaders confirmed that managing unstructured data is a problem for their organization, with another 24% not even including unstructured data on their data and analytics short list.
In an era where unstructured data is being leveraged to power generative AI and unlock strategic advantages, this poses a major lost opportunity. A staggering 98% of CIOs and IT leaders feel their organization’s infrastructure needs improvement to support risk and innovation initiatives.
Digging into the root of the problem, it can be quickly concluded that all challenges lead to one main issue: an outdated and inefficient hard-disk storage infrastructure.
The good news is, there’s no longer a need to settle on hard-disk solutions. Why? Because there’s FlashBlade//E™.
FlashBlade//E has revolutionized unstructured data storage with its dense, reliable, scalable all-flash design that’s built for today, and tomorrow. It lets you manage your unstructured data growth with unrivaled efficiency, saving you energy, space, and money.
Here’s how it can help make your unstructured data work harder in 2024.
Stay Always-on with Non-disruptive Upgrades
Through its all-flash storage design, FlashBlade//E alleviates the pain of frequent hardware refreshes with 10-20 times more reliable storage. This not only provides IT teams with a reliable experience, but it also ensures there’s no downtime to help keep your unstructured data always-on. Perhaps even more compelling is FlashBlade//E’s built-in evolution model, which offers a future-proof design to scale non-disruptively and meet ever-changing requirements. It’s a flexible and scalable storage experience that will only get better over time.
Save on Hardware Cost and Admin Time
There’s no denying that all-flash storage solutions were not designed to house vast unstructured data workloads—at least not until FlashBlade//E arrived. FlashBlade//E is purpose-built, designed for the new unstructured data era, and offers up to 40% lower TCO over six years, in contrast to comparable disk-based systems.
Pure Storage’s modular design simplifies scaling and upgrades without adding additional administrative resources, allowing IT teams to focus on strategic imperatives.
Reliable and Predictable Performance for Peace of Mind
No one wants to deal with unpredictable storage, which is why the DirectFlash® Modules (DFMs) built into FlashBlade//E are significantly more reliable than the more failure-prone spinning disks. DFMs provide predictable performance for peace of mind day in and day out. There’s also the added benefit of seamless integration of Pure Storage’s leading-edge hardware and software innovation to deliver a cloud-like experience and make FlashBlade//E the last scale-out storage platform you’ll ever need.

Meet Your ESG Goals with Ever-efficient Flash Modules
The beauty of FlashBlade//E is its efficient and dense DFMs that are generously designed at 40x48TB—making them perfect for immense workloads. But how will this help with your ESG targets? The density of the disk allows businesses to increase storage capacity without increasing their data center footprint. Plus, by consolidating older disk-based arrays into dense all-flash, businesses improve energy savings, shrink the data center’s footprint, and minimize e-waste. It’s a win-win all around.
