Considering NetApp for Your Next Refresh? 

Rethink your refresh of legacy storage.  Be disruptive, not disrupted.

Move Up to Uncomplicated Storage

Now more than ever, IT is in the front seat to drive innovation as business needs evolve. But NetApp (once again) wants you to compromise with legacy architecture. Take action now to reject their risky, disruptive migrations. Embrace storage agility with the industry’s leading, all-flash storage innovator. Pure can uncomplicate your storage, forever. There’s no reason to settle for less.

Investment Protection

  • Pure: Upgrade to the latest-generation controller with full trade-in credits for old controllers. No renewal required.
  • NetApp: No investment protection for traditionally purchased storage, must re-buy hardware to upgrade.


     

Non-disruptive Upgrades

  • Pure: Proven 99.9999% availability, with over 3,000 non-disruptive controller upgrades and no forklift upgrades or data migrations.*
  • NetApp: Upgrading a NetApp AFF system is disruptive when moving storage media or non-disruptive when moving volumes, but requires a complex cluster setup.

* For FlashArray
 

Proven Modern Simplicity

  • Pure: Addresses the most demanding application performance needs with 100% all-flash, end-to-end NVMe and NVMe-oF.
  • NetApp: Legacy architecture slows innovation. Portfolio lacks critical features for business continuity and agility.
     

Dynamic, Continuous Innovation

  • Pure: Pure invests more than 25% of revenue in R&D. Recent introductions include NVMe-oF, synchronous active-active replication, and enhanced data reduction.
  • NetApp: All-flash FAS arrays are still not all end-to-end NVMe. Less focus on innovation with only 16% of revenue invested in R&D.

Proven Track Record vs. Make-shift Architecture

Choose a fast, efficient architecture and take full advantage of a 100% NVMe-enabled portfolio.

With proven 99.9999% availability and industry-leading efficiency, FlashArray//X is designed for the most demanding applications. See why customers give Pure an 85.2 NPS rating and Gartner places Pure as a leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant™ for Primary Storage.
