Pure FlashArray X NVMe pros and cons

You cannot tag a LUN with a description, and that should be improved. What I like on the Unity side is that when I expand LUNs or do things, there is an information field on the LUN. This is the Information field that you can tag on your LUNs to let yourself know, "Hey, I've added this much space on this date". Pure lacks that ability. So, you don't have a mechanism that's friendly for tracking your data expansions on the LUN and for adding any additional information. That's a downside for me.

We would like to see more visibility into garbage collection and CPU performance in the GUI.

Our use cases require more multi-tenant capabilities and additional VLAN interfaces for separating different customers. We currently use it to provide storage, sometimes shared storage, to different customers, but it is less flexible in comparison to a dedicated solution.

It's more multi-tenant functionality in their Pure1 manage portal that is lacking.

Many options to check performance, like read, writes, random writes, and random reads, are missing in Pure FlashArray X NVMe.

They could add more support for file storage and different types of storage.

Efficiency improvements would always be welcome, but I'm not sure if they could get more efficient.

We have run into a couple of instances recently where we are running out of space. So we have had to buy some more packs for it and they have deployed fine and it has increased smoothly.
