Rated 5 out of 5 by from Provides quick and reliable data access as well as value for money What is our primary use case? In my current organization, we utilize FlashArray and FlashBlade primarily for critical data management. Our company deals with significant amounts of important data that require fast access, which is why we decided to purchase Pure FlashArray and FlashBlade. It is essential for data accessibility and ease of data access. How has it helped my organization? It is a path-breaking storage. I have previously worked with Dell EMC and HPE storage. Pure Storage FlashBlade is path-breaking and necessary to meet the current needs. It makes data access more flexible than before. It has significantly saved time for our organization, particularly regarding latency in data retrieval and storage capacity. Previously, we faced limitations with other solutions like Dell EMC and HPE, but FlashBlade allowed us to allocate larger TB amounts, which has been a big benefit. The time-saving aspect and reduced latency are the main benefits we have experienced. We were able to realize its benefits within a week. We found its speed, flexibility, and load balancing very impressive. We realized very early on that it is the best product in the market. Being an all-flash storage, there is no noise like hard drives. There is also a dedicated cache. It is very impressive. As compared to our previous storage, it is very easy to access. The GUI is also very good. Pure Storage FlashBlade helped in keeping our data encrypted and secured. What is most valuable? The most valuable features of FlashBlade include its replication capabilities, reports, and easy allocation. Everything is user-friendly. There is no complexity. Unlike previous experiences with Dell EMC, which required lengthy processes for configuring LAN masking and mapping, FlashBlade is user-friendly. Anyone with a basic knowledge of storage can easily work with it. This flexibility is very important for building new storage. Also, there is no hard drive, so there is not much noise. What needs improvement? Recently, while upgrading the version code, one of the controllers failed. Replacing the controller took between 14 to 20 days. We cannot accept that delay. They need to focus on that. Additionally, during disaster recovery exercises, we experienced issues with SRM volumes from VMware, highlighting areas needing improvement. They should test their upgrades for any issues, and there should also be more reliability when it comes to DRE practices. Apart from that, everything is good. They should provide more training videos and benefit programs for Gold partners like us. Pure Storage could offer training without any fees to enhance understanding of the latest features and technologies. That would be beneficial. They provide training for big organizations, but they do not do the same for small organizations. For how long have I used the solution? I have been using FlashBlade for three years. What do I think about the stability of the solution? We have not experienced any glitches or downtime, and everything has been stable. Generally, the upgrades do not lead to any downtime. Two processors are there. In a single case, we faced an issue where one storage processor went down, and it took them a couple of days to replace that one. In my overall experience with Pure Storage, this is the longest they have taken. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? There are no issues with scalability. I would rate it a nine out of ten for scalability. We are using it at two different locations. We have a team of ten members off-site. On-site, three members are there. How are customer service and support? Customer service and support are excellent. I would rate them a nine out of ten. How would you rate customer service and support? Positive Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch? Previously, I worked with Dell and HPE solutions. However, Pure Storage FlashBlade has surpassed them with better speed, connectivity, and ease of use compared to Dell and HPE. How was the initial setup? We have deployed about 40 boxes on-prem in our data center. Its deployment is straightforward. There is no complexity. I am not directly involved in operations, but it took a couple of days to complete the setup and configuration after racking and stacking. What was our ROI? The solution has provided significant ROI, saving approximately 80% to 85% in time, money, and resources. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? The pricing is relatively expensive due to the FlashBlade technology. However, for companies needing quick and reliable data access, the cost is justified. The investment is worthwhile for large multinational companies. I would recommend Pure Storage FlashBlade if you need better security, better load balancing, and easy access. What other advice do I have? I would recommend this product because of its scalability, load balancing, and easily accessible GUI. Everything is simple and user-friendly. I would rate Pure Storage FlashBlade a nine out of ten. Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The ability to leverage multi-tenancy along with immutability is a huge benefit for us What is our primary use case? We use FlashBlade for a lot of cloud storage backup, specifically Veeam. We use the object lock and versioning functions a lot to secure the data and make it immutable. We sell quite a bit of our shared space out to the customer base as repositories. How has it helped my organization? FlashBlade has reduced our reliance on single-purpose traditional storage. In our scenario where we have a DR environment and where we provide disaster recovery services, being able to leverage multi-tenancy along with immutability is a huge benefit to us. With a lot of the immutable functionality that we had previously, we had to set up Linux servers backed by SAN. The process was huge, whereas now, we can easily spin out a tenant account and get a customer set up. It has reduced the time significantly in that aspect. Bucket creation is not that big of a deal. We can set up quotas and other good things. It is pretty easy compared to the previous immutable arrangement. It is working out pretty well, especially in time savings. Its benefits were visible immediately because we had a comparison on-site. Everything was on Dell ECS or Elastic Storage prior to that. Once we started migrating customers over to Pure Storage FlashBlade, the results were immediate. Earlier, some of the customers would purge something, and that garbage collection would run for days on end on some of the other devices, whereas with Pure Storage FlashBlade, that was significantly faster. It handles metadata very well. It has certainly made our environment more resilient than some of the other deployments we had. Other immutable devices were singular in nature. If the device went down, that whole infrastructure went down with it, whereas, with FlashBlade, we can mitigate that risk by adding additional blades and things like that. It is more redundant and resilient compared to previous implementations. We do object locking and versioning, and then the Veeam backups have encryption built into it for inline and at rest. All that plays very well together. The fact that it keeps our data encrypted and secured is extremely important in this day and age. In the industry itself, there has been a shift away from the idea of everybody wanting a bleeding-edge performance. More people are concerned about securing their data and ransomware. A lot of what we do is help with ransomware prevention and recovery. It is like our bread and butter, so when it comes to that piece, in a lot of the sales training data and things that we have seen, there has been a much higher focus on the security of data versus bleeding-edge speed. In a storage environment, everybody usually wants to get the fastest of whatever it is that they can afford, but there is more focus on securing that data this year. FlashBlade has definitely reduced our organization’s environmental footprint. Previously, we would end up deploying a repository that would be Linux or something like that. A lot of the time, that would be dedicated to a client, whereas now, FlashBlade backends a lot of our multi-tenant environment, so we are able to leverage FlashBlade for multiple tenants. Instead of having a repository dedicated to each client, we consolidated into FlashBlade where we are serving multiple tenants out of those blades. I have been able to decommission 20 to 25 repositories this year. What is most valuable? The performance of FlashBlade is excellent. It does not necessarily leverage the SOS API that some of the newer products leverage, but I found its speed pretty much on par and comparable. It is fast, and it does what it is supposed to do. With some of the S3s we had, there were issues with garbage collection routines or the algorithms that ran the garbage collection. If a customer's immutability period is 14 days, a block generation time frame is assigned to that, which adds another 28 days to it, so it cannot over-allocate the API calls to it and crush the box. They have that kind of period in there. What I found with FlashBlade compared to our ECS system or some of the other S3s that we have run is that it is significantly faster in the purging process and garbage collection process, which is a big deal to us. We have so many customers in there, and they are constantly removing backup chains and things like that, so there is a lot of churn that happens. FlashBlade is probably one of the best ones that we have had that manages that churn appropriately. What needs improvement? The only thing I feel FlashBlade is missing is the SOS API. If it had SOS API, that would put it well over the top. Veeam Backup specifically has started to streamline their API, and they are doing that with SOS API. They have optimized it. Any of the S3 devices out there that support this SOS API can have far more API calls at once. On our side, that translates to better restoration. With SOS API, it can leverage far more restorations at a single given time or read from the device in simple terms. That results in maximizing the output and throughput from the device itself. For how long have I used the solution? We have had FlashBlade in play for maybe 18 months. What do I think about the stability of the solution? FlashBlade has been 99.999% in terms of stability. We have had zero outages with it. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? FlashBlade scales easily. Anytime we need to expand, we simply order another blade and integrate it. How are customer service and support? Pure Storage is on the better side of technical support these days. I interface with Cisco, VMware, Veeam, Zerto, and other different companies. Out of all of them, Pure Storage support has been pretty good. They are responsive. They usually provide an educated response or answer back in a reasonable amount of time. They are always within the SLA. I do not have any complaints about support. How would you rate customer service and support? Positive Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch? We used various S3 solutions. I am an ObjectFirst Ace. ObjectFirst is another company that came out in the last year or so, and they provide us with secure devices. We do have some of that. We have some Dell Elastic Storage. We have tested out various other software-defined ones, like MinIO. We had a good bit of experience in playing and testing with S3 before we went to FlashBlade, and I did a full PoC with FlashBlade before we decided to buy it. How was the initial setup? We have it on-prem. We provide external access to our clients for S3 buckets, but it is all on-prem. We do that specifically because of the type of company we are. When it comes to disaster recovery, we need to do a restoration when a customer has a declaration or something like that. It is far easier on our side for that data to be local than it being out in the cloud. The restoration is far faster being on-site, so we have all that stuff in-house. We deployed FlashBlade in a matter of days to a week, and it was serving data soon afterward. It took about 72 hours, and then we were tweaking after that just to figure out exactly how we wanted it. It was not a very difficult setup. It did not require extensive resources. In terms of maintenance, we had to do normal updates when something new came out. That ended up being a fairly simple, straightforward process. The updates were done in less than an hour. We schedule upgrades and our own downtime because they are customer-facing. We have not had any outages. Everything was completed in the time frame that we assumed it would complete. Everything was back up and functional after the update. We had no real issues with it. These non-disruptive upgrades are extremely important because we are a service provider by nature. The service that we provide is disaster recovery, so most of our customers are seeding data into us 24/7, and any degradation in that results in them missing their RTO and RPOs, which is not great for us. We miss our SLA if that happens. What about the implementation team? We managed the setup with a team of three individuals from storage capacity, cloud, and network teams. We need the network setup. The capacity person takes a look at all the backend to figure out what goes where. I do most of the other implementation pieces via the cloud team. The process did not require third-party involvement. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? It is within reason for what you get. From what we have found comparing it to other vendors, it is in the same range as others. Given the choice, we would definitely redeploy it based on the cost. In my opinion, it is worthwhile. I am very much a buy once, cry once kind of guy. I want to buy it and do it right the first time. What we have learned through experience is that Pure Storage FlashBlade sometimes can cost a little bit more, but the admin overhead related to storage goes down once we end up having these devices. We are less involved. There is less maintenance. There are fewer instances where a project is spaced and put into play, and then six or eight months later, we have to go back and upgrade heads or whatever needs to be done with that. Overall, the total cost of ownership is not necessarily the upfront price tag. You also have the cost of administration and doing business. There are all those things that lead to upgrades or bad decis... Disclaimer: My company has a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer:Partner
