Has improved performance for mission-critical workloads and enabled seamless non-disruptive upgrades

The availability is 99.99%, which is the main factor any customer would need because their data should be available whenever they want to access it. This is one main critical thing. It is very easy to upgrade since Pure Storage FlashArray handles it well. Everything is non-disruptive now; previously, there were forklift shifts, but now that is not the case. Pure Storage FlashArray says no to forklift upgrades. Usually hardware requires downtime, but Pure Storage FlashArray has improved their footprint so that they are not asking for downtime; everything is just a non-disruptive activity, which is why customers are more inclined towards Pure Storage FlashArray. Customers want more of the models in their environment due to the performance they are giving, and everything is in one Pure1 Array console where we can view all the models on one page or just an orchestration tool. You don't miss anything; you have replication, notifications about replication, and details about which host groups replication is happening in and if that replication is successful or failed. On a daily basis, our purpose is to create volumes for infrastructure; our daily activities include creating volumes and mapping them to the host, doing any migrations from a VM, clearing the data stores, and carving the volumes to those VMs. One key factor is the data compression with a ratio of 5:1, focusing on space efficiency, inline deduplication, and the compression Pure Storage FlashArray works on; that is a major factor we can suggest to any customer. Analytical capabilities are crucial. Daily, we check the throughput and consumption, and Pure Storage FlashArray provides predictions for one year regarding usage. This prediction helps plan updates well ahead. For support, we just raise a case, and they follow up and get it done. There is also AI readiness, but with the model R2, we don't have much of that AI readiness. For others, we do have AI readiness that predicts capacity based on daily or monthly trends, enabling us to analyze how much space we need or if we need to expand the disk shelf. From an operational point of view, a good feature is that if you accidentally delete a volume, it will be retained in the destroyed state for the next twenty-four hours, which is not the same with any other vendor. I have worked in this storage domain for the past fifteen years, and this option is remarkable, benefiting any L1 or L2 engineer. Additionally, from a compliance perspective, Pure Storage FlashArray has REST APIs enabled. I have not explored automation much, but from a security standpoint, it is strong with encryption data. If you want to automate, you can easily integrate with all clouds and explore Pure Cloud for scheduling workloads, including volume creation. Customers find benefit in Pure Storage FlashArray's single management pane of glass due to the dual controller and active-active setup. If one of the controllers goes down, all workloads automatically shift to the other controller, ensuring their data is safe and accessible at all times. This is a highlighted feature that any customer desires because their data should always be accessible. For SAN workloads, we use Pure Storage FlashArray because for SAN FC fiber channel, we don't use it; we use NetApp for NAS activities. We have clearly split this, so SAN is for mission-critical applications, while network-attached storage handles file systems. This architecture helps us maximize the benefit from Pure Storage FlashArray due to the significant workloads from this giant retail client. From a footprint and energy consumption perspective, you can see energy consumption from the Pure1 storage portal on a daily basis, and it is very compact. The three models we use consume only three units, which is quite low. From a footprint and data center perspective, it doesn't occupy much space. As everything moves to cloud, there are requirements to avoid excess spending on data centers, and Pure Storage FlashArray is efficient in energy consumption and is environmentally friendly.

Good price-performance ratio, provides simplified provisioning and management

We use this solution for provisioning and management The most valuable features are simplified provisioning and management, de-duplication, and built-in encryption. The exterior display needs to be improved. Sorry, I like the blue lights the competition has, but maybe we can see green led lights…

Vm-aware storage has simplified vmware management and delivers strong deduplication and savings

There are many good features for Tintri VMstore T7000, especially its nature of understanding VMware. It is VM-aware storage, which is a very good characteristic. When any VM is moved from one host to another host, there is no way to see where it is running. It is very smooth in action. Trintri VMstore T7000 is totally autonomous. We have integrated it with our virtualization environment, so all the VMs and machines running in our environment move between one Tintri VMstore T7000 and another without requiring any manual intervention. The system can schedule resources from its own capabilities. If one Tintri VMstore T7000 becomes full, the machine will be moved to another automatically. This autonomous system is very beneficial. Nowadays, all storage comes with NVMe flash and all storage is coming with flash storages as well. Tintri VMstore T7000 is much easier to handle. We just need to integrate the whole Tintri VMstore T7000 with vCenter and all the work will be done by vCenter. If we want to check what the deduplication will be, there is a really good feature of Tintri VMstore T7000 called TGC. We can integrate all Tintri VMstore T7000 systems from one end and manage all of them from a single endpoint. The major benefit of using Tintri VMstore T7000 is its deduplication and compression ratio, which is around 4x to 5x. No other storage is giving that much ratio. This is really good and much cost-saving for the company. Administrative cost is reduced because Tintri VMstore T7000 gives us a single point where we can manage it. This is both time-saving and cost-saving.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The most valuable features in Pure Storage FlashArray are deduplication and active cluster."

"Technical support is excellent. I've had very good responses from technical support. We had a couple of cases where we needed support. Some of the communications were purely over email and some has been an actual call to the service desk."

"The deduplication in the array combined with its snap technologies allows the product to be remotely/manually controlled or scheduled."

"In Pure Storage FlashArray, the dedupe and compression are excellent, and performance is good too."

"It reduces space and the polar consumption. It also accelerates the application."

"Both the ease of setup and the reliability of the array makes it quite simple to manage for the customer."

"The scalability options are very nice because you can scale it much better and faster. The scalability was there in the previous environment also, but this is far better than what we had before. It basically helps the user in case they are looking for more storage. We can scale it much faster."

"I recommend this solution for production because it has good performance and capacity management."

More Everpure FlashArray pros

"This solution had the best cost and it was easy to work with the Vendor."

"The most valuable features are simplified provisioning and management, de-duplication, and built-in encryption."

"I couldn't be happier with the decision we made to invest in Tintri and our customers are much happier too."

"Among the most valuable features are its granular replication, the ability to define asynchronous or synchronous replication, which gives us very definable RTOs and RPOs around that type of service, and granular quality-of-service configuration, which allows for cases where you've got multiple customers on a single Tintri, but you want to be able to offer strong quality-of-service metrics and KPIs."

"Tintri truly delivers a setup and forget storage solution that allows us to focus on our primary business instead of managing complicated storage platforms."

"We also find the detail per-vm reporting at the ability to see reports from the hypervisor straight back to the storage useful."

"Its performance is amazing. Since I have put Tintri in, I haven't had a complaint from anybody about slowness. On top of that, there is block-level cloning and the ability to spin up VMs."

"Just give it a try, even via POC, to see how much simpler it is to implement and how well it performs."

"It is a set and forget environment with a very good tooling to view performance and delivers the IOPS we need for our VDI environment."

"Easy installation, stable, and reliable operating with an almost zero-touch approach allows for more time to worry about real problems."

Cons

"Many high-end platforms from other vendors like Dell EMC or Hitachi, their backend has Active/Active architecture, unlike Pure Storage FlashArray which doesn't utilize an Active/Active architecture on the backend."

"It's not so scalable. It's got moderate scaling capabilities right now. The clustering technology needs a bit of work, they need to improve that."

"In terms of improvement, Everpure FlashArray could have more attractive UI/UX design compared to other solutions."

"I would like a feature to integrate with external or cloud solutions."

"They can also include file services such as NAS shares and CIFS shares. There should be provisioning of the file shares from a unified array."

"The pricing and licensing of Everpure FlashArray is a problem because Everpure is considered more expensive than competitors."

"It is a bit expensive."

"I would like to see additional features like performance monitoring, configuring alerts, and the customization of alert thresholds."

More Everpure FlashArray cons

"The exterior display needs to be improved."

"Of course price can always be lower."

"For now we don't have scalability issues, but It would be nice to add an external bay for additional storage space."

"Active/active cluster between two Tintris on Hyper-V cluster. Dedup should be better."

"Speed of our VDI machines. We have a very high log in and log out ratio and machines are being refreshed instantly so we have a constant boot storm on our storage."

"Their current replication is really just enough to "check the box" that they do replication. We'll probably implement Actifio, Zerto or EMC RecoverPoint for VMs for more critical data replication."

"More cloud integration."

"It lacks deduplication, and dedupe on all data is something that would be a big improvement that we need."

"On the software side, I suggest adding integration with backups software like CommVault Simpana or Veeam where these products can integrate with the array and trigger things like snapshots for backup, etc."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's a good price point and it's a solid product for the price."

"It is light years beyond anything else with the same price point."

"The guaranty that Pure Storage provides when you purchase it doesn't meet the overall capacity needs to provide extra storage, if needed. Thus, it is not meeting our expectations."

"The price of Pure Storage FlashArray could always improve. They are still more expensive than some alternative offerings. Cost is always a concern and when there is a battle they tend to be more expensive."

"When we bought the unit, we bought per capacity. So, the licensing is per capacity, and the only thing that we have to buy every year or every three years is maintenance. Included in that maintenance is the upgrade of the controllers every three years at no cost to us."

"In comparison to the competitors, Pure is very price-competitive for the future functionality that it provides."

"We have a seen a reduction in TCO. It is definitely a cost-effective solution for us. We have seen ROI."

"Pure has been flexible with us on the pricing models."

More Everpure FlashArray pricing and cost advice

"This solution has a good price-performance ratio."

"What I have heard, price-wise, is that Tinti was definitely very competitive. That's one of the reasons it was chosen for us."

"It is fairly priced, but it is very important to consider the total cost of ownership over time. The solution has excellent compression and deduplication capabilities, often offering up to three times the raw capacity."

"It's very competitive."

"Performance for the price is amazing."

"Ensure the storage system "natively" supports the protocols that you wish to use (i.e., CIFS) without the need for the overhead of internal "conversion VMs" that run the protocols."

"The licensing model is relatively simple. For things like replication, however, the licensing needs to be looked at."

"The cost of all the SW is well spent because it makes you save on backup and DR."

"Tintri is reasonably priced for the solution you get. Advanced features do require extra to use."
