Pure’s DirectFlash QLC technology avoids the need for complex caching layers and expensive storage-class memory media. “Because of the modular architecture, codesigned hardware and software, all-QLC technology and Evergreen subscriptions, FlashBlade//S is a platform that can be configured to meet the needs of some of the highest-performance demanding environments, the largest scale and capacity environments and provide the efficiency and cost-effectiveness needed to replace hybrid or disk-based solutions,” Lee said. Rob Lee, CTO at Pure Storage, explained that the new FlashBlade family delivers performance and capacity optimization courtesy of Pure’s proprietary all-quad-level cell (QLC) architecture without the need for expensive caching solutions. This reduces storage silos and eliminates architectural and operational complexity. At the same time, the platform can cope with the multiple performance dimensions required for traditional as well as unstructured data workloads.

The FlashBlade//S family’s engineered hardware combined with Purity//FB 4.0 software makes it possible for Pure to steadily increase density and power efficiency while heading toward an exabyte-level scale. “The new disaggregated architecture and deeply co-engineered software and hardware makes FlashBlade//S a highly attractive choice for customers looking for a high performance, scalable platform that also provides environmental efficiencies,” said Patrick Moorhead, founder of Moor Insights and Strategy. FlashBlade//S and its differentiatorsĪccording to Pure Storage, the new family of flash-based products has a “nearly unlimited scalable metadata architecture, offering more than double the density, performance and power efficiency of previous versions.” AIRI//S provides enterprises with a scalable AI infrastructure for all stages of the AI data pipeline. FlashBlade//S complements this Nvidia technology with non-disruptive performance, density, power efficiency and scale enhancements. Join us at the leading event on applied AI for enterprise business and technology decision makers in-person July 19 and virtually from July 20-28.ĪIRI//S is powered by Nvidia DGX A100 systems - featuring end-to-end networking, including Nvidia Quantum InfiniBand and Nvidia Spectrum networking. Thus, the company needs to keep innovating to differentiate itself from others. Greg Schulz, an analyst with Server and StorageIO Group, an independent IT advisory and consulting firm, said Pure Storage is facing intense competition from the likes of Dell, HPE, IBM and Netapp as well as various software-based solutions that are stacked or packaged with partner hardware. This enables IT to customize the platform to the specific performance, capacity, file and object needs of their workloads. As a result, storage, compute and networking elements can be upgraded independently without causing disruption. Now, Pure Storage’s tool, FlashBlade//S, brings a more modular architecture that is designed to disaggregate compute from capacity. In 2017, the company introduced FlashBlade as a unified, high-performance platform that combined file and object storage.
It was front and center when all flash arrays appeared about a decade ago. Pure Storage has been a pioneer in the world of flash-based storage for some time. Join AI and data leaders for insightful talks and exciting networking opportunities. We are excited to bring Transform 2022 back in-person July 19 and virtually July 20 - 28.
