Everpure Evergreen One Reviews

A quick specific example of how I'm using block storage with Everpure Evergreen One is VMware storage.

Everpure Evergreen One has been my go-to storage platform for years, positively impacting my organization.

I do not have anything that I wish was different about the platform.

I rate Everpure Evergreen One as a nine on a scale of one to ten.

I do not know why I gave it a nine.

Regarding Everpure Evergreen One's AI capabilities, I appreciate its governance and security.

Regarding Everpure Evergreen One's AI capabilities, I appreciate its accuracy and reliability of output.

We are using it in-house for our data center to run all of our VMware environment and our VDI environment on. Infrastructure consumption, as well as short-term and long-term storage, is included.

The speed of the product is quite a bit better in performance than the previous environment we were running on, and it seems to have a better feature set.

I do not have any notes for improvements. 

We have been using the solution for about three years now. We were using the older Pure, and we have upgraded to the new Evergreen deal.

It's brand new, so I haven't been running it long enough to find out about stability.

We're dealing with an intermediary and they have been exceptional.

I agot it racked, and they sent someone out to finish doing the configuration, which didn't take that long. Once that was done, we had to have them decommission the old one. They sent us a box; we packed it up and sent it back.

We will have a decent return on investment. It should more than pay for itself.

To me, it's a little expensive. Then again, you get what you pay for. It's actually less than what we were using before, and even the service contract side is less than what we were using before.

We are still going through the process of finishing up the configurations and pushing old data from our old peer environment to our new peer environment. 

Overall rating is seven or an eight out of ten.

My main use case for Everpure Evergreen One is as a channel partner with Pure, where our setup is in our lab demo environment, and we use it as a showcase for our customers and clients to demo.

Everpure Evergreen One has positively impacted my organization as I can share specific outcomes or metrics from partnering with Everpure. For example, it has helped attract more clients and improve our demo success rates.

If I could change or add just one thing to make Everpure Evergreen One even better, it would be based on something customers have mentioned during demos or a feature I wish existed.

I have been using Everpure Evergreen One for almost a year now.

Everpure Evergreen One is stable.

The scalability of Everpure Evergreen One is really useful.

The customer support for Everpure Evergreen One is great.

I have seen a return on investment with Everpure Evergreen One, though I don't have specific metrics to share regarding fewer employees needed, money saved, time saved, or anything else measurable.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Everpure Evergreen One is satisfactory.

I would advise others looking into using Everpure Evergreen One to consider it. I don't have any additional thoughts about Everpure Evergreen One before we wrap up.

If I didn't go with IBM, I'd choose Pure Storage ninety-nine percent of the time. Their storage solutions are the best, and they are also very simple to use. All the APIs work seamlessly and are compatible with every server and other product. Their performance is so fast, and their systems are so easy to use that they can be more than you might need. I've even installed it myself.

The Evergreen program is excellent, and the pricing is quite reasonable. My friends who work there are doing very well and consistently achieving strong results. Like any company, they experience occasional downturns but perform impressively overall.

The only potential drawback is that Pure Storage might be overkill if you don't need microsecond response times.

I have been using Pure Storage Evergreen One for ten years.

Pure Storage makes it very easy to upgrade the controller, so scalability is straightforward. Adding capacity is simple; add another node or more drives if there's an open bay. If there's no open bay, you add another node. They offer different types of nodes. The process is user-friendly. You need SAS cables; the system recognizes the new Storage, and you can configure it for your VMs or environment.

Pure Storage offers more than one product. They have high-end, super-fast options, FlashBlade, and other products. Surprisingly, they've developed solutions for backup. Initially, people questioned why they would use Pure Storage for backup, given the high cost. However, the importance of efficient and quick data restoration became apparent, leading to the adoption of Pure Storage's FlashBlade for NAS and other uses. 

It's easy to install and probably the fastest product available. You can start with people who are not even technical.

I rate the initial setup a ten out of ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy.

Pricing can be expensive, but you're paying for a top-tier product. It's a premium solution, not a low-end spinning disk system. Pure Storage products are designed for microsecond-level response times and are highly resilient, ensuring data integrity. Upgrades and configuration are straightforward, making the system easy to manage.

Once you get it in, it is plug-and-play. It offers advanced monitoring capabilities that can be part of its AI-driven approach. Their system continuously monitors the storage arrays as long as you're connected to the network and allows them access. They can detect potential issues and notify you before problems arise. For instance, if a problem is detected in a customer’s array, like at Coca-Cola in Atlanta, Pure can remotely address issues, such as fixing microcode or replacing a drive.

While other manufacturers also offer monitoring features, Pure Storage excels in this area. Their system centralizes data from multiple arrays to predict and resolve issues efficiently. This proactive approach allows them to alert customers about potential bugs and deploy fixes as needed. Though AI-driven monitoring is not new, Pure Storage's implementation is particularly effective.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
