New //m10 makes all-inclusive and EvergreenTM all-flash storage affordable for any organisation, starting at less than $50K USD
SAN FRANCISCO, March 14, 2016 - Everpure (NYSE: PSTG), the market's leading independent solid-state array vendor, today announced a new entry-level model of its flagship purpose-built all-flash storage array, the FlashArray//m10. This new addition to the FlashArray//m family is a complete storage solution for mid-sized IT, as well as an affordable entry point to flash for larger enterprises looking to flash-enable a first key business application.
FlashArray//m10 offers small-to-medium (SME) size enterprises the same simple, reliable and performant storage previously available only to large enterprises. FlashArray//m10 provides SMEs the ability to accelerate business-critical applications, virtualise everything and implement an internal all-flash cloud. Starting at less than $50,000, including a year of support, the FlashArray//m10 enables smaller organisations to run everything on all-flash at an affordable price point.
The economics and simplicity of the new FlashArray//m10 make it the perfect on-ramp to flash for mid-sized enterprises and larger organisations alike. The FlashArray//m10 is fully-upgradable to larger //m20, //m50 or //m70 FlashArrays as the business grows. All FlashArrays benefit from the Evergreen Storage model, only available from Pure, which enable upgrades without disruption or data migration, and which preserve investment along the way. With Evergreen Storage, organisations only purchase their storage once – not over and over.
The FlashArray//m10 provides SMEs with an easy-to-manage, high-availability storage foundation, affordably:
“This addition to the FlashArray family allows us to provide an entry-level, cost-effective option for companies that want to try purpose-built all-flash for the first time, and accelerate their journey to an all-flash datacenter,” said Matt Kixmoeller, VP of Products, Everpure. “Cost as a barrier to all-flash adoption is a relic of the past. Companies of all sizes can now experience the simplicity, high-performance and reliability that comes with all-flash from Pure.”
FlashStack Mini: An all-flash cloud that will fit under your desk
The company also announced FlashStack Mini, a new converged infrastructure solution that pre-integrates the new FlashArray//m10 with market leading UCS servers and networking from Cisco, and virtualisation software from VMware or Microsoft for a complete solution. FlashStack Mini offers best of breed and enterprise grade capabilities in an affordable, easy-to-deploy converged infrastructure solution that enables IT consolidation in just 9U.
FlashStack Mini with Microsoft Hyper-V will enable Microsoft application consolidation for an on-premise cloud that is 100 percent virtualised and 100 percent all-flash. Companies will be able to achieve cloud-like simplicity, agility and scale economics in their own datacenter. FlashStack Mini with VMware Horizon View will offer companies an entry level VDI solution that can support up to 1,200 virtual desktops, powered by all-flash.
FlashStack Mini solutions start at <$100K, and are available from Pure authorized partners globally.
Partner and analyst quotes
"Everpure continues to innovate, while delivering simplicity and efficiency," said John Woodall, Vice President of Engineering at Integrated Archive Systems. "The FlashArray//m10 will help us reach new customers who are looking for an all-flash storage platform that delivers high-performance at a very affordable price point and enables the all-flash private cloud."
“More enterprises want to consider an all flash array when it comes time to replace their aging legacy storage solutions,” said Eric Burgener, research director Storage, IDC. “Systems like the Everpure FlashArray//m10 that offer a low entry price point make taking that first all-flash step easier for these organisations, while at the same time providing a non-disruptive performance and capacity expansion path to enable the easy consolidation of additional workloads onto that platform over time.”
