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.

Point-in-time restore capabilities are built into the storage appliance

Our first impression when we were introduced to the product was very good. I still think it's very good. They are truly different. The whole product is based on point-in-time restore capabilities built into their storage appliance, and no one else I know does that. I'd rate it a 10 out of 10 because it does everything that we have asked it to do.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It simplifies the overall management. We don't have to worry about storage anymore."

"The job of support for the storage engineers dramatically changed. We know more quickly the automation of the provisioning. We can now focus on things that bring more value to the company than just managing storage."

"On a scale of one to ten, where ten is the most comfortable pricing, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."

"We're getting good performance, and the compression ratio is also very good in Pure Storage FlashArray."

"It has improved my organization in the way that we have high reliability and faster access to our data."

"The most valuable feature is its upgradeability."

"It reduces space and the polar consumption. It also accelerates the application."

"The initial setup was very straightforward and very quick. It was up and running in our data center within 24 hours of receiving it."

More Everpure FlashArray pros

"Flexibility and frequency of restore points: allow me to economically customize the range of time for data restoration, according to the varying sensitivities of each type of data."

"We have seen a large increase in the performance of our ERP and reporting environment, as reports which were taking minutes to run are running in seconds now."

"I have an every second undo button for all my applications. I call Reduxio "the ransomware killer"."

"While looking for a SAN, I came across the Reduxio solution by chance, and it has not only resolved the issue of replacing our old SANs, but provided a radical solution to threats posed by ransomware with its backdating feature which is built-in."

"We are getting 4.4:1 data reduction, which means we will be able to squeeze over 120TB into 2U. This is more than enough capacity for us."

"One of the beautiful parts about it is the whole user interface. It's almost too simple. As an IT professional, you think, "Where are the works, how am I assured that this is actually protecting my data?" The ease of use in terms of deployment, and also the metrics that it feeds back to you are also among the many attractive features of the whole platform."

"Improves the response of the VMs by having the most used portions on the flashcache."

"Because of its ability to recover data instantly, we made the decision to make Reduxio our primary storage."

More Reduxio [EOL] pros

"Provisioning times have gone down and a lot of the random errors from different things that we've seen across time kind of all went away."

"We can add a node, we add compute, we add storage, and we've had really good luck with that."

"The simplicity of it."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is its scalability."

"Individual settings you can put on each individual volume, if you want to do that."

"If you buy the solution for its specific purpose it will work well."

"It's a very compact device. For a medium-sized business, it's very helpful because the device is efficient and very fast."

"If you're bring up cloud in-house and you're still not aware of OpenStack Kubernetes, that's the way ahead."

More SolidFire pros

Cons

"The solution is not cheap."

"The price of this solution is high and should be lowered."

"The time-to-market could be better at times, but I think that's true for all vendors of hardware."

"Everything has been good, but we faced one issue last year while migrating volumes from one Pure Storage to another. The snapshots were not visible in the Veeam backup portal."

"I wish they could collaborate more with the other vendors internally, instead of us opening cases with Cisco, HPE, VMware, etc."

"The main disadvantage of Pure Storage FlashArray is the price."

"It's too early to tell if we've seen a reduction in total cost of ownership. The solution is expensive."

"The GUI could improve, it could be more intuitive. There is hidden functionality."

More Everpure FlashArray cons

"It would be nice feature if the GUI had an option to export the current unit configuration to a file or an email recipient. In case of a disaster, this way it would be quicker to get a replacement unit up and running again."

"I am waiting on a feature set in the new version which should allow me to replicate between Reduxio iSCSI SANs for disaster recovery and also to 3rd party iSCSI SANs which are cheaper for an archive or DR target."

"The only critique that we have is it needs the ability to have local users added. You have to log in as one built-in admin account. You can't create your own."

"The user interface for the web console could be more user-friendly, while it is flashy, how to find functions is not necessarily obvious."

"There is only thing I can think of at the moment, that would be detailed printable reports."

"The ability to look at data at a file level would be useful, as well as the ability recover at that level. Right now, you can only recover whole volumes."

"A centralized management would be nice, the ability to manage all cluster in one management portal."

"I would love an iPhone app to monitor my system from outside the firewall."

More Reduxio [EOL] cons

"However, when we wanted to change how we want to do it and basically start it over, do some hands on training with some of the architects who would be working on it, one of the issues was there wasn't an admin password at the BIOS level to restart it over."

"This solution would be improved if it were made to be more compatible with other products."

"Though it is a stable solution, its users may face some security issues at times...The security provided by the solution is one area that can be improved."

"So feature-wise, I would say more reporting tools that could be merged into it."

"On the negative side of it, I'm working on support, and I would get not enough detail or the support tech would say, "Check the manual.""

"I would like to see more of the fiber channel connect, legacy-type, Linux-type front-ends to it."

"We had some false positives, power supplies failing, and that's really been about it. We had a couple of glitches during some upgrade processes but nothing that was really concerning to us."

"The scalability of HCI or SolidFire as such isn't a concern, but when you compare it to PowerMax or NetApp AFF series devices, scalability is a concern because it's only the drives that are connected to the nodes. We don't have any shelf connectivity."

More SolidFire cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost has room for improvement."

"While it comes with a higher price tag, this investment often translates to significant improvements in performance."

"I think that the pricing is less expensive compared to other standard products in the market today. Even the support contract and maintenance services cost less when compared to market-leading products like EMC."

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

"Dell and Pure Storage offer competitive pricing, but Pure Storage might have a slight advantage."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"It is cost-effective because after buying a subscription, they provide a service to upgrade hardware for free. They are providing so many features. When you consider the features provided, it is cost-effective."

"No storage device is cheap, but Pure Storage is fairly priced and offers what you pay for. You get all the licenses in the future when you purchase a license."

More Everpure FlashArray pricing and cost advice

"The pricing and licensing were favorable."

"I think it is worth the value."

"The licensing is very simple with Reduxio. It is actually one of the attractions, unlike some of the other products. The other product we're using, in some of its incarnations, has extremely complex pricing, with every spindle having an associated license and fees. With Reduxio it's very simple. For the box - the hardware comes in essentially one configuration for the chassis, the unit (and you can buy multiple units and daisy-chain them) - there is no "a-la-carte," so many drives of this kind or that kind, etc. It has a basic hardware configuration. Then, through the software license, they allocate or assign you the right to use the full capacity, or half of it, or a quarter of it. Of course, if you're not using the full capacity but need to, it is a simple phone call to upgrade. It's as simple as it gets."

"All of their new features that were released following our purchase are free of charge. For example, we are about to upgrade getting cloud integration for free."

"I think the pricing is good value, because you're not just buying a storage array, you're buying a backup solution and a DR solution and a "time machine" solution, all bundled in one storage array. When we had NetApp storage we had to then go out and buy a copy of Veeam which is a backup solution. With the Reduxio, you still need to do backups but you don't need that software product."

"ROI is how much (time, money, resources) you will save in case of a ransomware attack because you had this box."

"Setup and licensing are included in the solution cost."

"You want the best, you've got to pay for the best, that's all. In terms of licensing, just work with your VAR. The features, overall, were just too good to pass up, even though it comes at a premium."

More Reduxio [EOL] pricing and cost advice

"On a scale where one is a high price and ten is a low price, I rate the solution between three and four. It is an expensive solution."

"We would probably use SolidFire more, except we're getting more bang for our buck with our purchases of ONTAP right now, and the deal we made with NetApp, so it's more of just a cost decision"

"The price of this solution is more expensive than others."

"It might be considered expensive, but when evaluating performance, it represents good value online because you pay for what you get."

"Based on what I heard from other people, its price was on the higher side."
