News and Insights about Evergreen//Flex Subscriptions

A flexible ownership subscription combines features of a traditional storage purchase with a consumption model. Similar to a traditional purchase, the storage is owned and maintained by the user. Unlike traditional purchases, the user pays based on their utilization of storage capacity via a subscription. You can increase the amount of storage you’d like to consume at any time as your needs evolve. This subscription also includes hardware upgrades and SaaS-delivered software updates designed to keep storage modern. This unique consumption model allows for lower upfront costs and better asset utilization for organizations that need to maintain ownership of their IT infrastructure based on business or regulatory needs.
Reserve commit refers to the amount of storage capacity that you subscribe to as part of your Evergreen//Flex subscription. The reserve commit must meet the minimum level specified for the chosen hardware configuration and can be increased anytime during the Evergreen//Flex contract term. The reserve commit is billed in advance at the corresponding reserve rate.
On-demand usage is the capacity consumed above the reserve commitment and is billed in arrears at the corresponding on-demand rate.
Data pack mobility gives you the freedom to move storage capacity—non-disruptively—between compatible arrays with active Evergreen//Flex subscriptions. This industry-first capability enables you to optimize your fleet and reduce spend by moving capacity to where the workload is.
Evergreen//Flex subscription pools all arrays with the same controller model (e.g., FlashArray//X50), deployed at a single install location as a singular endpoint for capacity usage and billing optimization. The reserve commit and on-demand usage is calculated at the pool level instead of at an individual array level. This helps reduce the impact of on-demand usage fluctuations for a single array and also simplifies the invoicing/billing process.
Ever Modern is a program designed to keep Evergreen//Forever™ and Evergreen//Flex storage always modern and never obsolete. It delivers upgraded controllers (for FlashArray™ products) or blades (for FlashBlade® products) every three years upon renewal of an Evergreen subscription for an additional three years at no additional cost. For the Pure//E™ family of products, this renewal cycle is every six years.
For Evergreen//Forever and Evergreen//Flex customers who purchase a qualifying capacity expansion, Ever Agile offers a trade-in credit for swapping existing controllers or blades to new, upgraded ones. These upgrades reset the applicable three- or six-year clock under Ever Modern.
