It is an SSD array that has awesome performance, low submillisecond latency, and does what it is supposed to do. It just works, which is difficult for things to do anymore.

The amount of data that I have moved to it from legacy storage has enabled us to retire units that are three or four times the physical size.

The best feature is consistently lower latency, even when IOPS crank up to over 75K. The product maintains submillisecond response time, which is incredible.

It allows engineers to focus on other things rather than doing the more manual tasks. It automates tasks, so the ease of use is extreme. It simplifies the storage.

I’d love to view the average, minimum and maximum performance in the reports (Analysis tab - Performance) but it is only graphics and you need to export data in CSV to find this information.

The internal garbage collection process has been fixed recently in some OS updates so it is more efficient but that could be just a little better.

I would like to see more detailed reporting on the data. However, it would be nice to know what are the exact VMs usage after deduplication and/or what that VMs actual latency and bandwidth is, outside of VMware.

I would like some form of QoS implemented. As a service provider, it would be beneficial to have it.

Just some nit picky stuff, like allowing servers and volumes to be grouped. Therefore, it would easier to work with them in the GUI.

I would like to see a Nagios monitoring plugin which watches the health and performance of the system. The only one available just checks volume capacity.

Pure Storage will have issues with positioning in the near future since its a relatively new company. For now, customers need a PoC to trust using the solution, as it can't stand on its brand name alone. They need to improve Pure Storage's marketing.

The higher education moves slowly. We are still looking forward to implementing the full list of existing features.
