Pure Storage announces enhancements to All-Flash platform

At Pure//Accelerate 2018, Pure Storage, the all-flash storage platform that helps innovators build a better world with data, unveiled its vision for the future of infrastructure – a Data-Centric Architecture.

With best-in-class storage purpose-built for modern workloads and challenges, Pure Storage helps New meet Now by continuing to deliver next-generation technology and collaborative partnerships that empower organisations to innovate.

With the rise of machine learning and artificial intelligence technologies, data has shifted from informational asset to the core of innovation. It’s no longer enough to just be data-driven – organisations must be data-centric.

Modern organisations operate in a world of rapidly evolving applications, where future success is predicated on deriving intelligence from data to achieve competitive advantage and growth. This requires a modern foundation purpose-built to optimally store, share and ultimately analyse data in a multi-cloud world.

Data-centric architecture keeps data and applications in place while technology is built around it, and fundamentally transforms data centre design with the data as its core element.

“Our customers aggressively seek to use data to improve their customer experience and outdistance their competition,” said Charles Giancarlo, CEO, Pure Storage. “The unprecedented explosion of data coupled with new data centre technologies enables Pure customers to build a data-centric architecture that enhances and simplifies their ability to use data for intelligence and advantage.”

Enhancements to Pure platform bring NVMe, AI to mainstream

To help organisations unlock value from their data and leverage new technologies to build competitive advantage, Pure unveiled a host of new data-centric solutions for enterprises at every stage of their lifecycle:

The all-NVMe FlashArray//X family makes everything faster – databases, virtualised environments, test/dev initiatives and web-scale applications – at no additional cost. The line features five configurations to bring NVMe to all – from the NVMe-ready //X10 and //X20 to the all-NVMe //X50, //X70, and //X90, Pure’s densest, fastest array to date
  • AIRI Mini, powered by NVIDIA, a leader in accelerated computing for AI, expands Pure’s AI-Ready Infrastructure offerings. Built on FlashBlade, AIRI is designed to enable data architects, scientists and business leaders to extend the power of the NVIDIA DGX-1 AI supercomputer and operationalise learning early in their AI lifecycle. AIRI Mini enables new data science teams and new projects to get up and running quickly with world-class infrastructure purpose-built for the challenges of AI. With AIRI Mini, organisations can implement a simple, powerful solution to build competitive advantage through AI at a price point that’s accessible for virtually any enterprise
  • With the industry-first Evergreen Storage Service (ES2) customers can leverage a cloud-like consumption model, powered by FlashArray, for on-premises storage. Additional new benefits of the Evergreen Storage programme simplify capacity requirements and can extend Pure’s existing Right-Size Guarantee with every capacity expansion
