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.

Point-in-time restore capabilities are built into the storage appliance

Our first impression when we were introduced to the product was very good. I still think it's very good. They are truly different. The whole product is based on point-in-time restore capabilities built into their storage appliance, and no one else I know does that. I'd rate it a 10 out of 10 because it does everything that we have asked it to do.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It comes with a large number of features out-of-the-box, which makes it easy for us to see problems and manage capacity."

"We have tons of capacity on it."

"The stability and performance are the best things about the solution."

"From an investment standpoint, the support staff I require for it is greatly reduced, so I don't have the in-depth requirements that I had on other products."

"The support team is available all the time and they seem to know what they are doing."

"Non-disruptive upgrades: You can upgrade at anytime without worry."

"Everpure FlashArray has reduced downtime in some situations, reduces downtime considerably, and can help perform upgrades or replacements of certain hardware or its firmware without shutting the machine down."

"One feature that's particularly valuable for our finance customers is Pure Storage's safe mode. It protects against ransomware attacks by taking snapshots. Our customers were very impressed with this capability. The data reduction is also impressive compared to other providers."

More Everpure FlashArray pros

"Reduxio requires zero upfront setup for backups. I get backups every single second for as long as I want with zero impact to performance."

"In terms of deployment and also data storage, the deduplication ability of it has reduced that footprint."

"The BackDating feature which allows us to go back to any point in the past at one second granularity, is an amazing feature and allows us to recover from any mishap to our data – whether it's a malware attack, an application error or a human error. We have never seen this capability in any other storage product."

"I sleep better at night knowing that my data is covered, especially in these times of ransomware and zero-day attacks."

"We have already replaced our storage and backup with Reduxio’s converged primary and secondary platform."

"There are just too many features that are too attractive to have any regrets over buying it."

"In terms of ease of use, the GUI is quite amazing and seems to be taken from a computer game. Literally within 30 minutes, we had learned almost everything there is on the management UI and started managing the device."

"After all the evaluations of other alternatives, we chose Reduxio."

More Reduxio [EOL] pros

"The system efficiency is excellent overall."

"The difference between SolidFire and other storage is that it is a stand alone storage; no one has that good storage software or that scalability and performance."

"To my mind, it offers a unique combination that isn't easily matched in the marketplace."

"Greater IOPS, speed, it's all-flash. So seeing that everything is going to all-flash, all SSDs, SolidFire fits right in there with the emerging trend in IT."

"It really helped us not only in delivering the service levels to our users, but also automating that."

"Initial setup was very straightforward, easy."

"Based on those use cases we get really good efficiencies."

"In terms of solving those challenges, it's simple, it's straightforward, it literally just runs itself, and the scalability."

More SolidFire pros

Cons

"Once, before Pure went public, we were a member of their customer advisory board and beta tested replication. One requested enhancement yet to manifest is the scheduling of snapshot replications."

"I would like to have an easy way to determine the cost per VM so that I can present a solution to our customers."

"Data reduction is an area that needs improvement. There is a garbage collection service that runs but during that time, system utilization increases."

"One thing I'd like to see in a future release is integration between their main storage array and what they call their FlashBlade product; to be able to snapshot directly from the primary array into multiple different backup copies on FlashBlade."

"It can go down from time to time, but it's been pretty solid so far."

"Pure Storage FlashArray could improve the recent file storage capabilities because it is lacking a lot of features."

"If I need to change or troubleshoot the dashboard, I cannot do it without calling support. If I want to move something critical, I cannot do it by myself. The dashboard blocks me from changing those critical things."

"As long as they always improve on IOPS speed, that's all we're really looking for. The faster the storage can be the more we can do speed of application and speed of use."

More Everpure FlashArray cons

"If Reduxio could manage multiple Reduxio systems within the same dashboard, or manage them as a single mode, it be very, very helpful for us."

"Scalability. Reduxio has only one product, they don’t have an option, for now, to expand the storage product."

"Would love to have role-based access and an active directory integration."

"We had a brief hiccup, a brief outage, during one upgrade process, but it wasn't too extreme."

"A centralized management would be nice, the ability to manage all cluster in one management portal."

"I think that the only issue that I would like to see an improvement in would be the price."

"The user interface for the web console could be more user-friendly, while it is flashy, how to find functions is not necessarily obvious."

"I am waiting for the vSphere Plug-In with individual VM level control."

More Reduxio [EOL] cons

"The tool should improve its initial cost which is expensive compared to other products."

"The user interface needs to be improved."

"The level of monitoring could be better."

"SolidFire could improve in terms of hardware robustness."

"They could make the mNode more user-friendly. Now you need to configure and add nodes by CLI and it’s not really easy to manage. If they created a web interface to do the management of the mNode, that would be great!."

"I think there is room for improvement needed with its storage capability. A bigger node is needed."

"The upgrade process could be better."

"The upcoming release is supposed to have much richer VMware virtual volume (VVOL) support, which is something we're very interested in."

More SolidFire cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price is about the only thing that's wrong with it. A little bit better pricing would be great."

"The price is very reasonable when compared to other solutions."

"There are no licensing fees aside from the support."

"The price of the solution is not expensive."

"The license for Pure Storage FlashArray includes the support and there are no additional payments that are needed. This is not an inexpensive solution, you need to understand the value of your data before you use a backup solution."

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

"Because the price is a bit higher than other products, the data reduction equalizes the price with amount of the data reduction."

"It is cheaper than NetApp."

More Everpure FlashArray pricing and cost advice

"They have very competitive pricing and were able to work within our budget constraints as a public school."

"They are very competitive in pricing, so I would definitely recommend Reduxio."

"You want the best, you've got to pay for the best, that's all. In terms of licensing, just work with your VAR. The features, overall, were just too good to pass up, even though it comes at a premium."

"I think it is worth the value."

"Only one device is sold. Negotiate the initial storage, but you can start small and move up with ease. Negotiate."

"I think that the only issue that I would like to see an improvement in would be the price."

"For less money than my previous solution, I receive way more performance and backup features that far surpass anything on the market."

"It was the best price for capacity and speed on a hybrid array I could find."

More Reduxio [EOL] pricing and cost advice

"We would probably use SolidFire more, except we're getting more bang for our buck with our purchases of ONTAP right now, and the deal we made with NetApp, so it's more of just a cost decision"

"Based on what I heard from other people, its price was on the higher side."

"On a scale where one is a high price and ten is a low price, I rate the solution between three and four. It is an expensive solution."

"The price of this solution is more expensive than others."

"It might be considered expensive, but when evaluating performance, it represents good value online because you pay for what you get."
