The implication is that the new //X array has something new, or at least improved that makes it more suitable for mission critical/Tier-1 application environments than the previous //M series. The announcement of their new FlashArray//X (//X) has forced Pure Storage to make this bold (and questionable) claim and relegate their previous generation, the FlashArray//M (//M) series, as “most economic all-flash consolidation”. “FlashArray//X now represents a higher-performance tier for mission-critical databases, top of rack flash deployments, and Tier 1 application consolidation” Just saying your storage is for Tier-1 or mission critical environments doesn’t make it true, you need the proven architecture and data services to support it.įor example, Pure Storage has recently made the following claim: Many vendors claim to have Tier-1 mission critical storage, but knowledgeable customers can quickly see through the hype. Data-at-rest encryption and other security methods, like secure snapshots.Ability to consolidate mixed workloads while maintaining performance and protection, including block and file on the same array if required.Simple and non-disruptive migration tools to move workloads between arrays and migrate to future arrays as needed.Intelligent and efficient copy (snapshot) technology, and integrated copy data management, with application integration for simple and fast copy creation.Proven remote replication providing any recovery SLA – from asynchronous and synchronous support up to continuous availability (active-active for zero RPO/RTO).Ability to scale capacity while maintaining consistent & predictable performance.Although each customer defines “Tier-1” based on their unique needs, there are some common requirements everyone agrees must be offered for an all-flash storage portfolio to be considered for use in a Tier-1 mission critical environment.
