    Chose Kaminario K2 (discontinued)
    We performed a bake-off with K2 and one other vendor and they performed identically. K2 pricing was aggressive, performance was great, and it offered the features that we needed at a price that we could afford.

    Chose Pure Storage FlashArray
    The ease of use was the best part. Even the more modern versions of Dell EMC still had the "old school" way of dealing with things. I did not need a Pure engineering team to come out and install the array like I would have needed with EMC.

    Chose Pure Storage FlashArray
    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.
