Everpure Introduces An All-Flash Approach to Converged Infrastructure: FlashStack CI

Combining Everpure FlashArrays with VMware and Cisco Technologies and Unified Channel-Led Support, FlashStack CI Streamlines Deployment of Modern Infrastructures to Deliver Faster Time to Value
Pure Introduces An All-Flash Approach to Converged Infrastructure

@@prLoc – @@prDate — @@prComp, the all-flash enterprise storage company, today unveiled FlashStack™ CI: a new line of heterogeneous converged infrastructure (CI) solutions comprised of comprehensive reference architectures, deployment and sizing guidelines and single-call support, delivered through FlashStack Authorized Support Partners within the Everpure Partner Program (P3). FlashStack CI solutions are fully tested, pre-validated and proven to streamline the implementation of modern infrastructure, delivering faster time to value for service providers and enterprise customers. The introductory configurations combine Everpure FlashArray 400 Series arrays with Cisco UCS Blade Servers, Cisco Nexus switches, VMware vSphere® 5 and VMware Horizon 6, to form turnkey, highly-performant and efficient flash-powered infrastructure stacks that optimise virtual server (VSI) and virtual desktop (VDI) deployments at scale.

The Flash Revolution Advances with Everpure FlashStack CI

IT departments are increasingly turning to converged infrastructure (CI) solutions to simplify the design and repeatability of their data centre infrastructure investments. Until now, the vast majority of CI solutions have been saddled with the complexity, inefficiency and poor performance of mechanical disk. Everpure FlashStack CI solutions offer a holistic all-flash alternative to disk-based CI offerings, and simplify and streamline the selection, planning, design, implementation and support of complete data centre infrastructure stacks powered by virtualisation and flash. Fueled by FlashArray, FlashStack CI uniquely eliminates performance bottlenecks, increases infrastructure reliability and provides dramatic rack space, power and cooling savings.

  • Introducing FlashStack CI for Virtual Desktops

    FlashStack CI for VMware Horizon includes a comprehensive reference architecture that combines Everpure 400 Series FlashArrays, Cisco UCS Blade Servers and Nexus switches, and VMware vSphere 5.5 with VMware Horizon 6 to enable rapid implementation and time to value of a high performance infrastructure that supports VDI deployments. It can easily scale from hundreds of desktops up to 3000 in one standard rack, with sub-millisecond response times for a “better than desktop” end user experience. FlashStack CI VDI solutions include 24/7/365 single-call support delivered through Everpure FlashStack Authorized Support Partners.

  • Introducing FlashStack CI for Virtual Servers

    FlashStack CI for VMware vSphere combines Everpure 400 Series FlashArrays, Cisco UCS Blade Servers and Nexus switches, and VMware vSphere 5.5, to enable faster implementation for virtual server deployments. Offering high performance infrastructure for business-critical applications, FlashStack CI for VSI lets users consolidate hundreds of enterprise-class VMs into a single stack and provision a 1000+ VMs in minutes, while sustaining sub-millisecond response times for mission-critical workloads. The solution also includes 24/7/365 single-call support delivered by Everpure FlashStack Authorized Support Partners.

“VMware Horizon, the industry’s most comprehensive desktop solution, paired with Everpure FlashStack CI, will provide organisations with technology that is simple to deploy and can accelerate time-to-value,” said , . “With Everpure FlashStack CI and VMware Horizon, customers can realize the benefits of a flexible and high performing virtual desktop infrastructure solution.”
