Has improved performance for mission-critical workloads and enabled seamless non-disruptive upgrades

The availability is 99.99%, which is the main factor any customer would need because their data should be available whenever they want to access it. This is one main critical thing. It is very easy to upgrade since Pure Storage FlashArray handles it well. Everything is non-disruptive now; previously, there were forklift shifts, but now that is not the case. Pure Storage FlashArray says no to forklift upgrades. Usually hardware requires downtime, but Pure Storage FlashArray has improved their footprint so that they are not asking for downtime; everything is just a non-disruptive activity, which is why customers are more inclined towards Pure Storage FlashArray. Customers want more of the models in their environment due to the performance they are giving, and everything is in one Pure1 Array console where we can view all the models on one page or just an orchestration tool. You don't miss anything; you have replication, notifications about replication, and details about which host groups replication is happening in and if that replication is successful or failed. On a daily basis, our purpose is to create volumes for infrastructure; our daily activities include creating volumes and mapping them to the host, doing any migrations from a VM, clearing the data stores, and carving the volumes to those VMs. One key factor is the data compression with a ratio of 5:1, focusing on space efficiency, inline deduplication, and the compression Pure Storage FlashArray works on; that is a major factor we can suggest to any customer. Analytical capabilities are crucial. Daily, we check the throughput and consumption, and Pure Storage FlashArray provides predictions for one year regarding usage. This prediction helps plan updates well ahead. For support, we just raise a case, and they follow up and get it done. There is also AI readiness, but with the model R2, we don't have much of that AI readiness. For others, we do have AI readiness that predicts capacity based on daily or monthly trends, enabling us to analyze how much space we need or if we need to expand the disk shelf. From an operational point of view, a good feature is that if you accidentally delete a volume, it will be retained in the destroyed state for the next twenty-four hours, which is not the same with any other vendor. I have worked in this storage domain for the past fifteen years, and this option is remarkable, benefiting any L1 or L2 engineer. Additionally, from a compliance perspective, Pure Storage FlashArray has REST APIs enabled. I have not explored automation much, but from a security standpoint, it is strong with encryption data. If you want to automate, you can easily integrate with all clouds and explore Pure Cloud for scheduling workloads, including volume creation. Customers find benefit in Pure Storage FlashArray's single management pane of glass due to the dual controller and active-active setup. If one of the controllers goes down, all workloads automatically shift to the other controller, ensuring their data is safe and accessible at all times. This is a highlighted feature that any customer desires because their data should always be accessible. For SAN workloads, we use Pure Storage FlashArray because for SAN FC fiber channel, we don't use it; we use NetApp for NAS activities. We have clearly split this, so SAN is for mission-critical applications, while network-attached storage handles file systems. This architecture helps us maximize the benefit from Pure Storage FlashArray due to the significant workloads from this giant retail client. From a footprint and energy consumption perspective, you can see energy consumption from the Pure1 storage portal on a daily basis, and it is very compact. The three models we use consume only three units, which is quite low. From a footprint and data center perspective, it doesn't occupy much space. As everything moves to cloud, there are requirements to avoid excess spending on data centers, and Pure Storage FlashArray is efficient in energy consumption and is environmentally friendly.

Good price-performance ratio, provides simplified provisioning and management

We use this solution for provisioning and management The most valuable features are simplified provisioning and management, de-duplication, and built-in encryption. The exterior display needs to be improved. Sorry, I like the blue lights the competition has, but maybe we can see green led lights…

Vm-aware storage has simplified vmware management and delivers strong deduplication and savings

There are many good features for Tintri VMstore T7000, especially its nature of understanding VMware. It is VM-aware storage, which is a very good characteristic. When any VM is moved from one host to another host, there is no way to see where it is running. It is very smooth in action. Trintri VMstore T7000 is totally autonomous. We have integrated it with our virtualization environment, so all the VMs and machines running in our environment move between one Tintri VMstore T7000 and another without requiring any manual intervention. The system can schedule resources from its own capabilities. If one Tintri VMstore T7000 becomes full, the machine will be moved to another automatically. This autonomous system is very beneficial. Nowadays, all storage comes with NVMe flash and all storage is coming with flash storages as well. Tintri VMstore T7000 is much easier to handle. We just need to integrate the whole Tintri VMstore T7000 with vCenter and all the work will be done by vCenter. If we want to check what the deduplication will be, there is a really good feature of Tintri VMstore T7000 called TGC. We can integrate all Tintri VMstore T7000 systems from one end and manage all of them from a single endpoint. The major benefit of using Tintri VMstore T7000 is its deduplication and compression ratio, which is around 4x to 5x. No other storage is giving that much ratio. This is really good and much cost-saving for the company. Administrative cost is reduced because Tintri VMstore T7000 gives us a single point where we can manage it. This is both time-saving and cost-saving.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Scalability is one of the best features. You can quickly add more. You can swap out the drives with larger sizes, you can add more shelves. All of that is perfect - the whole concept of keeping it modular..."

"Technical support is good."

"The initial setup was straightforward in the way that it was a database vacuum storage."

"Pure Storage FlashArray has helped decrease the total cost of ownership because we know what the cost is going to be every year; we don't get any hidden fees or upgrade fees, everything is included in the price."

"Our clients see a reduction in total cost of ownership by around 40%."

"The most valuable feature of Pure Storage FlashArray is the complete set of functions it provides."

"Having fast storage allows actual servers to perform in high capacity so we don't have slowdowns on our applications."

"Biggest lesson learned: Why didn't I switch sooner?"

More Everpure FlashArray pros

"The most valuable features are simplified provisioning and management, de-duplication, and built-in encryption."

"This solution had the best cost and it was easy to work with the Vendor."

"Everyone says wonderful things about what their storage can do but Tintri actually delivers on the promises they make."

"The initial setup was absolutely straightforward."

"We love our Tintri's here, so much so, we have 3!"

"It is fast and reliable. There hasn’t been a single failure in three years of use."

"The cloning is very fast... Another aspect I like is that it's very simple. It's an easy GUI to use."

"I love that Tintri VMstore is so easy to use and manage on a daily basis as well as in the long term. It is hands-off and runs seamlessly without needing daily management. It allows you to go on vacation knowing that everything will work and remain top-notch."

"Web GUI for maintenance and resource monitoring purposes is easy to use."

"The insight into details such as latency at the VM level (disk, host, and network) is unmatched."

More Tintri VMstore T7000 pros

Cons

"A year ago they promised that they would be able to read through the database encryption with more metric and they have not delivered on that patch, which is significant because it gives us back so much more storage room. We want to be able to read through the encryption."

"Some services could be inserted directly into the SAN, so Pure Storage could complete with the HyperFlex."

"I can't see where they can make anything better, unless, of course, they lower their prices even more."

"For scalability, I rate it a six out of ten. We reach a limit. We never reached this limit, however, the architecture allows you to go until a certain size, and after that, you have to buy another array."

"What I dislike about Everpure FlashArray is that in the replication, if it is in the pod, we cannot directly add devices to the pod without breaking the relationship."

"In some cases, we get into very in-depth conversations around the movement of specific data and, what's more, chunk sizes. The documentation lacked any description or information on that."

"In the next version of this program, I would like to see increased security, higher encryption, and faster throughput."

"The product should improve its response time. I have also encountered issues with its configuration."

More Everpure FlashArray cons

"The exterior display needs to be improved."

"I'm waiting to see the Kubernetes package. I know they're releasing one, but I haven't seen it yet."

"Tintri need to be able to innovate faster but maintain the quality of their features."

"Integration with Commvault for native storage snapshots"

"I think with the world soon becoming only SSD, possibly NVMe, and 3D Xpoint. It would make sense for Tintri to drop the hybrid array down the line."

"Right now, we see that the configuration access isn't as good as it should be."

"Active/active cluster between two Tintris on Hyper-V cluster. Dedup should be better."

"The product could be improved by adding iSCSI support. We have had to rethink how we implement some of our services due to this."

"Their support staff just doesn't have the experience with all of the products that we're running. They don't know the 850 series like we do because it's five years old. There is a little bit of a gap, and that may just be because we're an old customer running on platforms that their staff hasn't seen. I would like to see an improvement in their in-depth knowledge of their older products."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license for Pure Storage FlashArray includes the support and there are no additional payments that are needed. This is not an inexpensive solution, you need to understand the value of your data before you use a backup solution."

"Cost-wise, I imagine that the product's price would probably give you a nosebleed if you were a younger company."

"The pricing is very attractive and it delivers performance for the money."

"The price of Pure Storage FlashArray is expensive."

"They have a standardized fee; it's been the same price for 10 years straight. I am happy with the price — I think it's good."

"Its price is almost double than any other flash storage solution."

"It could always be lower, but it's okay."

"I would rate the pricing of Pure Storage FlashArray a five out of ten. It is expensive but not too much."

More Everpure FlashArray pricing and cost advice

"This solution has a good price-performance ratio."

"It is fairly priced, but it is very important to consider the total cost of ownership over time. The solution has excellent compression and deduplication capabilities, often offering up to three times the raw capacity."

"The area it needs to improve is the pricing. It could be better."

"An "all-in-one" license model would be better at this price range."

"I've always gotten excellent pricing. I'm very satisfied with the pricing that I receive."

"Prices are not cheap, but it runs."

"I think it is a very good solution. You get a good bang for buck."

"The cost of all the SW is well spent because it makes you save on backup and DR."

"We haven't found Tintri's pricing to be a barrier to entry for any of our customers. Tintri works through a number of distributors and when we've had to purchase it for our customers we have found the pricing to be competitive."
