Pure Storage Ushers in the Next Generation of Storage as-a-Service, Paying for Customers' Power and Rack Space
Wednesday, October 18, 2023
Already the leader in SLA guarantees, Pure Storage adds expanded commitments to ensure enterprises' energy-efficiency, capacity density, and data loss protection
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Pure Storage® (NYSE: PSTG), the IT pioneer that delivers the world's most advanced data storage technology and services, today advanced its Evergreen® portfolio with the introduction of a first-of-its-kind commitment to pay its customers' power and rack space costs for the Evergreen//One(TM) Storage as-a-Service (STaaS) and Evergreen//Flex(TM) subscriptions. Also, Pure Storage is unveiling new No Data Migration, Zero Data Loss, and Power and Space Efficiency guarantees, coupled with flexible upgrades and financing, across the Evergreen portfolio.
Industry Significance:
For years legacy Storage as-a-Service (STaaS) vendors have packaged the same CapEx solutions on an OpEx basis, ignoring what it means to deliver a true service. What enterprises want from STaaS are SLA-based outcomes that not only optimize IT budgets and spending but also optimize labor, while furthering security, sustainability, and agility goals.
Pure Storage first disrupted the storage ownership experience with the introduction of its Evergreen architecture in 2015 and has since grown its storage subscription portfolio to meet each customer where they are. In 2018, Pure Storage launched Evergreen//One, the industry's first true enterprise STaaS offering, delivered and managed via unique SLAs and guarantees. In 2022, Pure Storage introduced Evergreen//Flex, combining storage ownership with fleet-level consumption economics. With relentless innovation, Pure Storage continues to push the boundaries of what enterprises expect from their storage experience.
Today's announcement represents the next major evolution in enterprise STaaS. As the most energy efficient technology in the market - helping customers achieve up to 85% reduction in energy use and carbon emissions and up to 95% less rack space than competing offerings - Pure Storage again disrupts the market with a commitment to pay its customers' power and rack space costs, aligning TCO savings and long-term efficiency goals.
Combined with new guarantees, flexible financing, enhanced resilience, and AI-powered service capabilities, Pure continues to eliminate the status quo, driving choice and flexibility in purchase and consumption with its Evergreen-based services.
News Highlights:
-- Industry-First Paid Power and Rack Commitment: Pure Storage will pay for
its customers' power and rack space through an Evergreen//One Storage
as-a-Service (STaaS) and Evergreen//Flex subscription to take
responsibility for the associated costs of power and rack unit to run
our offerings. By eliminating the growing challenges of managing rising
electricity costs and rack unit space, Pure Storage further exemplifies
what it means to offer a true, seamless cloud experience, on premises.
The one-time, upfront payment can be made directly as cash or via
service credits, is based on kilowatt per hour (kWh) and Rack Unit (RU)
fixed rates, and is proportional to the customer's geographic location
and contract size.
-- Power and Space Efficiency Guarantee: While Evergreen//One and
Evergreen//Flex customers benefit from a paid power and rack commitment,
expanded guarantees support customers who opt to own their storage via
an Evergreen//Forever(TM) subscription, further establishing Pure
Storage as the most innovative subscription portfolio in the enterprise
storage industry. The Power and Space Efficiency Guarantee supports
Evergreen//Forever customers' efforts to consume less power and store
more data with less space, reduce energy costs, and report more
accurately with transparent measurement of actual Watts per tebibyte
(TiB). If the guaranteed Watts/TiB or TiB/Rack is not met, Pure Storage
will cover the tab. The Energy Efficiency guarantee is already available
as an Evergreen//One SLA.
-- New Future-Proof Business Guarantees: With new No Data Migration and
Zero Data Loss guarantees for Evergreen//One (SLA), Evergreen//Flex, and
Evergreen//Forever, Pure Storage empowers its customers to mitigate
unplanned costs due to data loss incidents, while maintaining day-to-day
business operations amid upgrades. With the Zero Data Loss guarantee,
Pure assures data protection with advanced data recovery services for
any hardware or software product-related incidents, at no cost. With the
No Data Migration guarantee, Pure ensures seamless technology upgrades
with no data migrations, reducing customers' overall risk exposure, cost
of ownership, and e-waste. In fact, Pure's Evergreen architecture
extends equipment life up to 10 years or more.
-- Flexible Upgrades and Financing: Pure eliminates the need for major
upgrades while providing customers with more choice. Pure's Ever Agile
program now includes a capacity plus controller trade-in delivered at up
to 20% lower price than new controller costs. Meanwhile, the Capacity
Consolidation program now includes expanded capacity trade-in credits
valued at up to 50%. The latest updates, available via
Evergreen//Forever, give customers flexible access to the latest
innovations in performance, density, and energy efficiency.
Additionally, with extended STaaS financing options for Evergreen//One,
customers also gain flexibility in the procurement and deployment of
Evergreen//One.
Executive Insight:
"With the expansion of Pure's Evergreen portfolio, we continue to challenge the status quo of enterprise Storage as-a-Service, yet again delivering industry-first guarantees and AI-powered services to solve problems for our customers.

"Today, business success goes hand-in-hand with environmental responsibility.
