Pure Storage Brings Pure as-a-Service™ Portfolio to ASEAN
As-a-service offerings transform customers' approach to IT and enable them to deliver a Modern Data Experience
Singapore – May 18, 2020 — Pure Storage (NYSE: PSTG), the IT pioneer that delivers storage as a service, today announced that its Pure as-a-Service™ platform is now available in countries in the ASEAN region including Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and Thailand. Pure is the first and only company to offer a unified subscription that enables complete flexibility across cloud and on-premises solutions. Pure’s approach helps organisations replace antiquated storage systems with fast, flexible resources that fit modern operating environments.
As part of Pure’s COVID-19 response program for its customer base, new Pure as-a-Service customers who sign up for a minimum of 12 months and 50 TiB reserve capacity commitment will get their first three months free.
Pure Storage pioneered the use of flash storage in enterprise data centres and hybrid cloud environments and continues to lead the market with new technology and business model innovations such as as-a-service offerings. Pure customers are using these products to drive data centre consolidation, build multi-cloud architectures, run high availability services, and create an analytics core their company can build around. As CIOs look to drive agility and efficiency, they are increasingly moving toward as-a-service models. IDC research data shows that 58 percent of IT organisations prefer as-a-service over CAPEX (capital expenditure) and lease options. Over the next three years, nearly 60 percent of IT cloud Infrastructure will be consumed as-a-service.
“Customers know that an investment in innovation is an investment in their future. They want services that grow and change as they do. They’ve told us that ease of use, interoperability, and a clear upgrade path drive long term strategic relevance. We disrupted the storage industry with enterprise-grade flash and our Evergreen™ model. We are now delivering on our vision of a Modern Data Experience — data storage delivered as-a-service that allows customers to extract maximum value from their data while reducing complexity and expense.”
Chua Hock Leng
Regional Managing Director, ASEAN, Pure Storage
Pure as-a-Service is a true service offering. Customers agree that it improves how they manage budgets and consume storage. Many want a cloud-like model for operations and finance, even when using on-premises hardware.
“It’s always there and always works. As more things get added to our plate, IT needs more things that don’t require a lot of care and feeding. Pure just works and demands very little of our time. It’s really storage-as-a-service,” said David Coindreau, Manager of Server and Storage Services, Frost Bank.
