Data is your organization’s most valuable asset, but slow and complex legacy storage systems often make it hard to put it to use. Pure Storage® FlashBlade® is the industry’s most advanced file and object storage platform ever. It’s a platform built to consolidate data silos so you can accelerate discoveries and insights. There are two types of storage systems: one optimized to store data, the other optimized to deliver it. One is engineered with legacy technologies, like spinning disk or retrofit software. The other is modern, architected from the ground up to be massively parallel, thus eliminating serial bottlenecks. This modern storage is FlashBlade® from Pure Storage.


From artificial intelligence to analytics, data is at the center of today’s innovation. Legacy infrastructures often prevent data from moving at the speed of your business. FlashBlade is the industry’s most advanced scale-out storage, architected to accelerate modern workloads and simplify infrastructure.

 

POWERED BY INDUSTRY FIRSTS

Blade:
Compute and network are integrated with Pure DirectFlash™. Hot-plug blades into the system to add capacity and performance.
Purity//FB:
FlashBlade’s heart is architected on a massively distributed key-value pair database for limitless scale and performance with simplicity.
Elastic Fabric:
Powered by an innovative converged fabric, FlashBlade delivers up to 1.5Tb/s aggregate bandwidth with 75 blades.

Pure Storage® FlashArrayTM//C lets you consolidate workloads and simplify storage with consistent all-flash performance at a lower TCO than hybrid storage.


Most business-critical applications today run on high-performance all-flash storage arrays, but capacity-oriented applications still suffer from management complexity, inconsistent performance, and lack of modern data services of hybrid flash and legacy disk systems. FlashArray//C provides a 100% NVMe all-flash foundation for capacity-oriented applications, test and development workloads, multi-site disaster recovery, and data protection at hybrid storage economics. Scale up to 5.2PB effective storage in just three- to nine-rack units. Maximize results and flexibility for high-capacity applications on-premises and easily connect to the cloud. With Pure Evergreen™, you can upgrade performance, capacity, and features over time without disruption.


All-flash storage solutions introduced simplicity, efficiency and rich data services to performance-sensitive enterprise applications. It’s time capacity-oriented applications see these indispensable benefits as well. With the introduction of FlashArray//C, Pure Storage is bridging the divide between performance-optimized and capacity-optimized applications. FlashArray//C is capacity-optimized and extends the Modern Data Experience™ to all applications.


THE TOP FOUR USE CASES FOR PURE FLASHARRAY//C ARE:

Workload consolidation.
Data protection and disaster recovery.
Policy-based VM-tiering.
Multi-cloud test/dev.

HYPER-CONSOLIDATE LARGE DATA STORES

Pure FlashArray//C densities scale from 1.3PB to 5.2PB in a tiny three- to nine-rack unit array and deliver consistent performance that comes with an all-flash 100% NVMe storage solution. You can now consolidate test/dev, non-critical virtual machines, data-retention/disaster recovery, and all other capacity-optimized applications on a single array. Let your IT organization drive simplicity into the infrastructure and eliminate complex siloed approaches to deploying these applications across multiple disparate hybrid disk-based solutions.

 

SIMPLICITY BY DESIGN

FlashArray//C has the power to simplify everything: The hardware, software, and cloud management experiences are co-designed to make everything work.


CLOUD-BASED MANAGEMENT

The Pure1® platform provides simple cloud-based management and effortless predictive support with full-stack analytics and the AI-driven power of Pure1 Meta™. Pure1 provides a snapshot catalog of all your backups in one place, whether the target is another FlashArray, FlashBlade™, another NFS target, or a public cloud like Amazon S3.


PURITY: THE SOFTWARE-DEFINED HEART OF FLASHARRAY

Purity for FlashArray delivers rich, enterprise data services, DirectFlash™ global flash management, and Evergreen™ improvements with every release. ActiveCluster™ for business continuity and disaster recovery, QoS, vVols, NVMe-oF, Snap to NFS, Purity CloudSnap™, and EncryptReduce are all examples of new features provided with non-disruptive Purity upgrades.
