Mountain View, CA – April 26, 2013 — Pure Storage, the all-flash enterprise storage array company, today announced it has been named one of the San Francisco Bay Area's "Best Places to Work" by the San Francisco Business Times, and was ranked among the area’s top 10 companies in their category. The company is renowned for its supportive work environment, diverse and talented workforce and rich culture centering on innovation, excellence and fun, where great minds are nurtured and thrive. This marks the second consecutive year Pure Storage has been honored by the SF Business Times. The publication compiles its Bay Area “Best Places to Work" list annually, based on employee surveys that measure worker satisfaction across a number of areas, including personal growth, workplace environment and managerial effectiveness.

Pure Storage is the fastest growing storage startup and the leader in enterprise class all-flash storage arrays. Its flagship product, the Pure Storage FlashArray, is 10x faster, 10x more space and power efficient and radically simpler to manage than its predecessors, all for less than the cost of legacy spinning disk-based storage solutions.

The best and brightest seek to create a world-changing vision and execute to fulfill it," said Scott Dietzen, CEO of Pure Storage. "The winner today is our entire team – a team we are exceedingly proud of, along with the fun-loving, hard-working, egalitarian and customer-focused culture we've created together.
