FlashArray//XL and Pure Fusion, Pure's autonomous, self-service storage-as-code platform, add enterprise-class scalability to its subscription-based storage promise.
FlashArray//XL delivers:
● Power to run the most demanding enterprise services: Accelerate enterprise workloads with maximum performance, even as they scale to handle larger workloads, with 100% more host connectivity and twice the volume support in a single array.
● A cloud-like model for quick and easy deployment of new applications: Pure Fusion and FlashArray//XL are designed to work together, giving businesses access to storage-as-code for cloud scaling, enabling platinum-level storage tiers and data policies, with powerful tools to optimize storage pools and workload placement.
● Efficiency and density for application consolidation, optimizing total cost of ownership and meeting the most stringent environmental standards for data centers: Enables workload consolidation into fewer arrays, simplifying operations, reducing rack space requirements, and significantly lowering energy consumption and cooling costs.
● Continuous data protection with full ransomware threat awareness: Ensures data stored on FlashArray//XL is protected, available, and easily recoverable after disruptions, even those caused by malicious attacks.
● A future-proof solution with an Evergreen subscription: Immediate access to constantly improving capabilities, thanks to a right-size guarantee and non-disruptive capacity upgrades and expansions as storage needs evolve.
FlashArray//XL and Pure Fusion were created to meet the demands of new customers who want to standardize their storage environments based on the simplicity of Pure's subscription model, but who require new levels of scalability. This demand is being confirmed early by pre-launch orders intended to standardize critical enterprise workloads using FlashArray//XL arrays, as customers seek to eliminate the last vestiges of their Dell EMC legacy footprint.
FlashArray//XL is now available and provides up to 5.78 PB of effective capacity, latency as low as 150 µs and data throughput up to 36 Gb/s, with an average data reduction ratio of 5:1, an overall efficiency of 10:1 and a proven availability of 99.9999% on a 5U platform.
