Pure Storage Launches Next Generation Flash Array to Accelerate Innovation


Pure Storage, a data solutions provider delivering a modern data experience, is releasing its third-generation all-NVMe FlashArray//X, providing customers with higher performance.

With Pure Storage’s Evergreen Storage model, customers can enjoy access to continuous innovation from Pure Storage that includes these and future updates to its product and solutions suite. 

“Evergreen is still one-of-a-kind in the data storage world because it allows customers to benefit from future features and innovations from Pure Storage without delays, interruptions or expensive, painful migrations,” said Prakash Darji, general manager for FlashArray, “Pure Storage Customers can rest assured that their investment in Pure’s next generation FlashArray//X, optimized for future updates coming from Purity//FA, will continue to deliver better results than the competition.”

The latest generation FlashArray//X allows customers to accelerate and consolidate database and enterprise workloads, extend them to the cloud, and modernize their data protection strategies.

All of the enhanced features, functionality and performance of FlashArray//X are also available through Pure as-a-Service utility-based consumption model.

Pure as-a-Service offers unified hybrid cloud data services, enabling customers to deploy on-premises, in colocated or hosted environments or in public clouds - all with a unified subscription, common functionality and a full cloud experience.
