FlashBlade//S® allows capacity and performance to be scaled independently and can be continuously improved over time. This unique modular storage architecture offers flexible consumption choices while minimizing waste by using less power and space. Read IDC’s take on FlashBlade//S.
FlashBlade is a consolidated storage platform for both file and object workloads, delivering a simplified experience for infrastructure and data management. A platform that’s easy to buy, easy to set up, easy to change, and easy to improve—in moments, not months.
Unlike commodity SSD-based or retrofitted, spinning disk solutions, FlashBlade//S leverages Pure’s industry-leading, all-flash hardware and software innovation, and is built using all-QLC architecture and DirectFlash® modules. The best-in-class solution is designed to support data-heavy, unstructured workloads efficiently, providing unequaled density, capacity, and performance.
The modular FlashBlade//S platform lets you independently scale capacity and performance to stay in line with needs and growth projections—ensuring greater efficiency and minimizing waste. It keeps complexity low and performance high by using a distributed metadata architecture, DirectFlash® modules, and integrated networking.
Automatic, non-disruptive hardware and software upgrades with Evergreen//Forever™ increase the lifetime of the platform. A flexible consumption model makes it easily adaptable to your business needs for cost predictability, without limiting outcomes.
