Architectural Design Decisions Directly Impact IT Agility for Pure Storage FlashArray and FlashBlade Users

Early thinking about all-flash arrays (AFAs) —"higher performance at a higher price”— is an oversimplification that buyers cannot afford to make. Core AFA architecture design choices have significant impact on the usability and long-term effectiveness in your environment.

But not all AFAs are created equally, from the types of flash media within the AFA to the form factor to the hardware and software managing data on the AFA. And these selection criteria are only complicated by mandates to improve energy efficiency, reduce maintenance costs, and future-proof app performance.

Read this IDC report to gain a look at the evolution of AFAs, must-have features, and an overview of Pure's Evergreen architecture.
