Pure Storage
brings hyperscale
architecture to
the enterprise
ure Storage has announced it has
added powerful new DirectFlash
Fabric capability for end-to-end
NVMe and NVMe-oF support in Purity
5.2, the software-defined engine of its
FlashArray//X products.
P
The new capability further extends
Pure’s moves to empower customers to
approach hybrid cloud with a new level
of unified infrastructure – to run apps
anywhere and protect data everywhere.
DirectFlash Fabric enables customers to
improve performance of enterprise mission
critical applications as well as new web-
scale applications that traditionally have
relied on direct attached storage.
With this announcement, Pure becomes
the first mainstream enterprise storage
provider to widely support NVMe-oF RoCE,
which enables enterprises to get flash
media closer to applications for more real-
time access and greater consolidation.
Modern enterprises are challenged to
deliver innovations and services that can
keep up with a constantly fast-moving
society – with no downtime allowed.
According to Google, 53% of mobile users
will leave a site that takes over three
seconds to load.
Applications must be available and
accessible at all times. To provide a
consistently good user experience,
enterprises must cost-efficiently support
widespread deployment of applications
that span clouds, break free of silos and
drive the benefits of an innovation platform,
both in the cloud and on-premises.
