SANTA
CLARA, Calif., Oct. 11,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Pure Storage® (NYSE: PSTG), the
IT pioneer that delivers the world's most advanced data storage
technology and services, today announced it has been positioned by
Gartner® as a Leader in the Magic Quadrant™ for File and Object
Storage Platforms for both its Completeness of Vision and Ability
to Execute, in the rapidly growing storage market for unstructured
data.
Industry Significance:
The proliferation of technologies and emerging trends like AI,
analytics, and the Internet of Things has driven a surge in file
and object data. Traditional storage solutions, particularly legacy
file systems, have become increasingly complex, adding rigidity and
risk. This complexity is further exacerbated by rising cyberthreats
and energy consumption concerns. Focusing on single-purpose, siloed
solutions has left organizations struggling to meet the dynamic
demands of modern workloads, resulting in inefficiencies and
outdated refresh cycles.
To navigate these challenges, organizations require a storage
platform that delivers all-flash performance, scalability, and
operational simplicity, while also addressing security
vulnerabilities and minimizing energy usage.
Platform Momentum:
With unmatched agility and risk reduction, Pure Storage delivers
a simple and consistent unified storage platform and flexible
as-a-service experience for the broadest range of use cases - from
on-premises to the public cloud to hosted environments. Central to
the platform, the often imitated but never duplicated Evergreen®
architecture ensures continuous, non-disruptive upgrades, enabling
enterprises to quickly adapt in today's dynamic business landscape.
With the industry's most comprehensive set of concurrent SLAs,
customers get the reliability, performance, and energy efficiency
required to modernize their businesses.
The Pure Storage Platform empowers enterprises to harness the
full value of their file and object data, ensuring agility and
resilience in adapting to the evolving demands of business
modernization:
- Efficient, Reliable, Consistent Platform: Built to
handle exponential data growth with industry-leading energy
efficiency, the Pure Storage Platform consumes up to 5x less energy
and rack space, and up to 95% less e-waste than hard disk-based
systems. Supported by Pure Storage's Evergreen subscription
services, Pure Storage is a flexible, scalable platform that
evolves over time to meet customer needs. At an acquisition cost
competitive with disk and much lower operational costs, Pure
Storage's vision of an all-flash data center is a reality.
- Introduction of Real-Time Enterprise File: The Pure
Storage Platform, with Real-time Enterprise File, delivers a file
services experience that changes, adapts, and reconfigures -
dynamically and in real time - to meet the demands of modern
applications. Delivering cloud-like efficiency with a global
storage pool that intelligently resizes and tiers on demand, its
single-layer architecture simplifies management, reduces costs, and
minimizes cyber threats, allowing IT teams to focus on higher-value
tasks. With a unified management plane, Pure ensures an effortless
storage experience that evolves with business needs and provides
non-disruptive upgrades through Evergreen architecture.
- Support for Cost-Sensitive Workloads: With the new
FlashBlade//S100, an AI-ready platform with GPUDirect support which
brings progressive pricing across all price points and markets. It
features a scale-out architecture designed for entry-level
enterprise use cases, including AI, compliance, content sharing,
image repositories, IoT, Edge, and ROBO applications.
- AI-Powered Anomaly Detection: The Pure Storage Platform
enables organizations to discover threats, unusual activity,
malicious behavior, and Denial of Service attacks via performance
anomalies. Built on machine learning models running to identify
unusual anomalous behavior, Pure Storage enables customers to
analyze their environments with historical data for anomalous
patterns based on heuristics of performance as well as user context
on how storage is used. Leveraging this capability, customers can
identify the last known good snapshot copy to mitigate operational
impact by quickly identifying recovery point targets to restore
data, reducing risk and guesswork.
- Cyber Recovery and Resilience SLA: Building on the
first-of-its-kind ransomware recovery SLA, Evergreen//One™ now
includes disaster recovery scenarios. The expanded SLA delivers a
customized recovery plan, ships clean service infrastructure within
a defined SLA, provides onsite installation, and supplies
additional professional services for data transfer. In addition,
Pure Storage will collaborate with organizations to build and
maintain a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy.
