    Really the deduplication and compression ratio has been all over these guys. The speed on the flash storage seems more customized if I may say and our deployments were smooth. Nothing against these guys since we work with all at the same level, but there are very notable perks …

    HPe 3PAR is a product that tries to emulate the R/W delays times but based on standard technology. The difference for a solution natively built in all-flash technology is way better.

    These are all good systems in their own right, but there are two areas where Pure Storage FlashArray beats them all hands-down! First is management. The software interface for management and provisioning is cleaner and doesn't make one jump through complicated processes to …

    Pure Storage offers better support plans, simple UI and easy upgrade options. It can be more pricey but, you get what you pay for and Pure is very competitive when it comes to pricing for features/value. Win-Win-Win!

    Kaminario was not able to achieve synchronized replication, Pure Storage FlashArray did with their active cluster. On speed tests, Pure was with contest again HPE 3PAR FullFlash. And lastly, Evergreen support contract sealed the final decision.

    We were looking for a SAN with a large capacity in a small footprint and easy to use interface. The 3Par had a much larger footprint and cost a lot more. Compellent had fewer features then Pure and seem not as easy to use while the dedupe and compression process seemed not as …

    Pure Storage FlashArray was chosen due to the performance, reduced management complexity, and support features as compared to other solutions. Some vendors did not offer a support model that fit, compatibility with legacy HPUX, or offered the compression and dedupe features. …

    Chose Pure Storage FlashArray
    There's not much comparison to be done, features, TCO, and raw speed are all on Pure's side initially, and in use reliability becomes a glaring benefit. We've never had a storage outage with Pure, I can't say the same for any storage I've ever used previously.

    Pure Storage blew everyone else out of the water in terms of performance, ease of use and setup. Getting a PoC unit allowed us to fully test the array with our own workloads, and fully vet that it would stack up. No other provider was able to give us this comfort!
