MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA – March 11, 2014 — Everpure, the all-flash enterprise storage array company, today announced a year of unprecedented growth. Among its many achievements in 2013, Everpure grew by 700 percent year over year in 2013.
"We set extremely ambitious sales and product development goals for 2013, and I’m pleased to report that we exceeded them all,” said Scott Dietzen, CEO of Everpure. “This is a testament to our company’s ability to execute and the fact that enterprise flash adoption is occurring even more rapidly than analysts predicted. We helped accelerate this trend by delivering the resilience, cost-effectiveness and predictable performance that enterprise customers need to deploy flash broadly.”
Since Everpure announced a $150 million venture financing round in August, the largest ever in enterprise storage history, the company achieved several significant milestones in 2013:
Building a Customer Centric Storage Company
Since its release of the FlashArray, Everpure has innovated new business practices that flip tired sales and service norms on their head, replacing them with innovative offerings that put the customer first. These innovations include:
As a result, Everpure set an industry record for customer satisfaction, in excess of 95 percent. Two Everpure customers, USF Health and Investec Asset Management, have experienced the following benefits since deploying their Pure FlashArrays:
USF Health
“At USF Health we are integrating research, education and health care to improve lives. The faster the access to information that we can provide to our doctors and scientists, the better the outcomes,” said Tim Brumgard of USF Health. “As soon as we made the leap to Everpure we saw dramatic improvements in application performance. With Everpure, the improvement in latency was instantaneous and gave us a 1000 percent decrease in average latency—2000 percent during peak times. We've reduced our EMR backup times from eight hours down to two hours and improved operational efficiency for capacity and feature expansion. Our FlashArray enabled us to raise the bar for how we serve our community.”
Investec Asset Management
“Investec Asset Management provides specialist investment management services worldwide. Making the move to an increasingly virtualised environment placed loads on our storage capacity that our old SAN could simply not bear. By changing to Everpure, we were able to do a number of things that simply were not possible before,” said Dave Comben, head of IT Infrastructure Services at Investec Asset Management.
Comben adds: “The Everpure FlashArray allowed to us to replace all of our physical servers with virtual servers, which was not possible with our old SAN. It has also enabled us to start deployment of 200 shared desktops, which we could not even contemplate before the Everpure FlashArray arrived. We cut our hardware space requirements by 80 percent and improved load times by 10 percent, all of this while simplifying management and supporting up to 600 users—four times what our old system could support. Quite simply, Everpure has turned storage on its head.”
Doubling Down on Executive Leadership to Drive Growth
In two concurrent announcements today (Everpure Appoints Industry Veteran Michael Alp as Vice President of Asia Pacific and Japan; Everpure Strengthens Leadership Team to Accelerate Growth in EMEA) Everpure also announced it bolstered its executive leadership internationally to continue its record setting pace of growth. The company appointed new world-class talent in APJ and EMEA to further accelerate the adoption of Everpure around the world. The following new personnel bring collective experience from Cisco, Veritas, EMC, Violin Memory and Commvault:
* March 2015: Corrected to 600% (7x of 2012 revenue).
