Ensure all of your general purpose workloads receive enterprise-grade reliability and predictable performance—without compromise.
FlashArray//C delivers value-optimized, all-flash storage with simplicity, enterprise-grade resiliency, and performance on a unified data plane.
FlashArray//C offers the same data services and rock solid foundation as the rest of the FlashArray family with Purity OS.
DirectFlash® modules (DFM) deliver space and energy efficiency levels unattainable by hybrid storage media or commodity solid state drives (SSD).
FlashArray unified block, file, and object is a radically different architecture that supports all protocols natively. File services will benefit from the same capabilities as block storage, be it resiliency or data services.
As the core building block in the pooled storage resources where data resides, simplicity means less intervention and ultimately less exposure to risk. Data protection functionality is simple and doesn’t require any extra licensing to manage. Security features are auto-on rather than setup-required meaning less misconfiguration risk.

In small offices and large enterprises alike, the act of setting up a local storage solution is often a balancing act between cost, capacity, and performance. Value-optimized storage is data storage optimized for cost per capacity ($/GB). Value-optimized storage solutions are designed to accommodate operational-critical workloads, virtual machines, backups, file, containerized applications, and test/dev environments..
The benefits of deploying your own value-optimized storage solution include:
Value-optimized storage is best used for applications, such as:
Quad-level cell (QLC) flash is a high-capacity NAND memory technology that delivers a per-terabyte cost that matches or beats hard-disk drives (HDDs).
QLC flash is the latest in a long trend of squeezing more bits per cell within a NAND flash device. Here’s how the technology has evolved over time:
“The flexibility to shift data workloads between our FlashArray //X and //C is huge,” says Alarcón. “No matter what happens with regulations or customer needs, we can optimize our data processes using the best array for the job.”
“Pure helped AC Milan modernize our media house so that content can be delivered across multiple platforms in one tenth of the time that it used to take. This is critical to our future success. The project has been a great success and has laid the foundation for our evolution into a media company.”
