    Chose EMC XtremIO Flash Storage (discontinued)
    At the time the EMC was selected due to the existing relationship with EMC and the maturity of their product compared to the other vendor's options. However now that the maturity gap has been closed and the storage wars have proven which companies will remain for the …

    Chose Pure Storage FlashArray
    Pure has better granularity and the data reduction rates are much better on Pure than on this product. XtremeIO had faster sequential read/write operations.

    Chose Pure Storage FlashArray
    Having the VPLEX be the storage interface between all our arrays was nice because some systems required different performance and capacities and it was the single pane of glass. Since the Pure Storage FlashArray offered us the same single pane of glass, the performance improved …

    Chose Pure Storage FlashArray
    We originally purchased one Pure Storage FlashArray and one XtremIO X-Brick. When we needed an additional array, we added a second Pure Storage FlashArray. When the XtremIO X-Brick came up for its first warranty renewal after the block of support originally purchased with the …

    Dell/EMC support was not as effective as Pure Storage's. Within days of selecting Pure Storage FlashArray, we had a team of technicians helping implement the array, integrate it with our existing systems, and test migration of VMware datastore to the array for proof-of-concept …

    Chose Pure Storage FlashArray
    Again, we did our research and did our consultations. We conducted a POC, which guaranteed storage controller upgrades at the cost of maintenance and numbers that we could budget for. Simplicity.

    The FlashArray is faster and easier to use than all the other products I've used. Other ones are close, but from our perspective, Pure won in every area.

    Chose Pure Storage FlashArray
    In our environment, Pure Storage FlashArrays show similar (slightly better) performance compared to XtremIO, but are, in my opinion, easier to manage.

    Chose Pure Storage FlashArray
    My organization leverages both Pure and not-Pure platforms. Larger enterprise arrays such as vmax use all flash. The pure x70s have easily held their performance and reliability against the Xtremios and VMAXes.

    Chose Pure Storage FlashArray
    The FlashArray beat the hybrid arrays in performance, the other all-flash arrays we evaluated in price, and all of the legacy spinning-disk arrays in ease of management and in reliability. Their two huge advantages were their "Evergreen" upgrade-everything-forever option and …
