Pure Storage®, the IT pioneer that delivers the world’s most advanced data storage technology and services, has announced it has been positioned by Gartner as a Leader in the Magic Quadrant for Primary Storage. This marks the ninth consecutive year of MQ leadership for Pure Storage. This is also the third consecutive year that Pure has been positioned highest on the Ability to Execute axis and furthest on the Completeness of Vision axis, validating its leadership across the enterprise storage industry.
Pure Storage’s FlashArray product line began with an all-flash storage array designed for high-performance block storage-based applications. Since then, it has expanded beyond block storage to include file storage use cases from a single array without sacrificing any of the Pure Storage performance, ease of use, or reliability.
The current FlashArray family includes the performance-optimized FlashArray/X and FlashArray/XL models, which are designed to handle the most data-intensive workloads at any scale. It includes the FlashArray/C, Pure Cloud Block Store, and, most recently, Pure Fusion. Pure Storage’s AIOps platform in Pure1® now underpins the entire product portfolio.
“Pure has become the clear leader in disrupting the storage industry,” said Shawn Hansen, VP and General Manager, FlashArray, Pure Storage. “We led with the first designed-for-flash enterprise array and as-a-service business models. Now as we’ve unveiled the industry’s first self-service, storage-as-code product, the market is entering the next stage of rapid change as it speeds towards the simplicity and automation of a cloud operating model, everywhere.”
FlashArray has achieved several milestones over the past year, including:
