DataHub was founded 12 years ago with a plan to be the first in Nepal to provide data centre and cloud services. The company overcame the challenges of educating customers on data centers and cloud services, but was faced with issues of performance, latency, and high OPEX costs associated with customer deployments.

Modernising its legacy storage system was the only option, according to Deepak Shrestha, Founder Member and Managing Director at DataHub Pvt Ltd. To do this, he chose Pure Storage FlashArray//X. “The partnership with Pure Storage has been a fruitful journey and is helping us expand our business,” says Shreshta.
