For decades, organizations have suffered through a storage lifecycle that requires them to rebuy storage capacity and components, takes time away from productive projects, and causes disruption and downtime. The Pure Evergreen Storage program was designed to change the storage acquisition and technology upgrade processes to simplify expansion and modernization, protect and improve on your investment, and eliminate disruption, all of which save money and time.
ESG validated that the Pure Storage Evergreen program offers agility and flexibility that is similar to public cloud storage, while improving the storage purchasing and upgrade process across its lifecycle. Customers spoke enthusiastically about the real savings they experienced, enjoying the predictable costs, investment protection, avoidance of downtime and data migrations, and improved operational efficiency.
