Pure Storage unveils new FlashArrays and Purity 4.0 Software

The all-flash storage pioneer addresses Tier 1 disk use cases and mission critical environments with new Replication, Snapshot and Policy Management Services.

The comprehensive new FlashArray family lineup promises to put the power and promise of ‘Instant Infrastructure’ within reach of every enterprise.

The company also unveiled expanded the existing FlashArray offering to target SMBs as well as large enterprises, organisations and datacenters.

“To keep pace with rapidly evolving infrastructure requirements, enterprises are now looking for greater scalability, simplicity and efficiency from their storage solutions than ever before,” said Tim Stammers, senior analyst at 451 Research.

The current FA-420 FlashArray has been supplemented with the entry-level FA-405 and high-capacity FA-450 FlashArrays.

The new Purity Operating Environment, Purity 4.0 features FlashRecover, a set of fully integrated, space-efficient replication, snapshot, and policy management services that offer comprehensive protection against disaster and data loss — both locally, and globally.

With these advancements, the Pure Storage FlashArray more fully supports mission critical workloads and Tier 1 storage use cases, eliminating the need for enterprises to continue making investments in legacy storage solutions powered by mechanical disk.

Pricing & Availability

“It’s a value proposition that all-flash array solutions, such as the Pure Storage FlashArray, are well positioned to deliver – especially if they can offer lower cost of acquisition and reduce total cost of ownership,” added Stammers.

The FA-405 and FA-450 are generally available now through Pure Storage’s global channel partner network; Purity 4.0 is expected to ship in June 2014.

Pricing for Pure Storage FlashArrays solutions start as low as $3-4/usable GB, depending upon a customer’s desired configuration. Non-disruptive upgrade to Purity 4.0 is free to all customers with existing maintenance contracts.

Authorised Pure Storage channel partners can help customers to determine the right configuration for their environment.

Below are more details from the press release.
