Pure Storage has introduced a new flash storage platform designed to provide enterprises with a cost of use of less than $1/usable gigabyte. The company said the new array, named FlashBlade, will be particularly attractive to organizations looking to take advantage of large pools of unstructured data that legacy solutions have been unable to handle because they slow down when scaled up.
Both Big and Fast
Pure Storage said FlashBlade will provide companies with an elastic scale-out system capable of delivering the kind of performance expected from all-flash systems, but with the ability to scale up to the petabyte level. According to the company, traditional storage solutions for unstructured data sets, such as legacy NAS (network-attached storage) filers and scale-out NAS, have continued to remain slow when deployed at scale.
“The all-flash data center for primary storage is quickly becoming a reality, but newer storage architectures designed to deliver better cost efficiency at scale are needed for flash to be more broadly used in secondary storage environments,” said Eric Burgener, research director storage, IDC, in a statement. Burgener said the FlashBlade array gives Pure Storage a portfolio able to support block, file and/or object access and cost-effectively cover both primary and secondary storage environments.
