Pure Storage FlashBlade Pricing

“We have Oracle ZFS Appliances and the cost of Flashblade was equivalent to one shelf of SSDs in cost.”

“Fairly expensive initial cost Steady maintenance costs makes easy budgting. … Pure is both more expensive and less configurable than the excellent HNAS.”

“While the product is somewhat expensive, if it is needed, it has great value.”

“It's an expensive solution to pursue, but it's a great long-term investment.”

“However, if you factor in any packages you currently have with IBM or AWS for example, you can get more value for money for your data requirements.”

“Because of price many companies that are looking to have an on premises data lake will need to look at other HDD based systems for a tier 2 data lake that does not require the performance of Pure.”

“We needed more second-tier storage that had replication and snapshot and all the normal Pure features--just second tier.”
