Pure Storage: FlashArray//M

FlashArray//M is a line of All-Flash of storage systems which optimum are suitable for consolidation of any data on flash drives. Systems provide the guaranteed availability at the level of 99.9999%.

Is suitable for the solution of any tasks, allowing:

• accelerate one database,
• scale environments of virtual desktops
• create a basis for the cloud storage built only on flash drives (all-flash).

FlashArray//M differs in simplicity of installation: it is necessary to collect only one rack and to connect six cables. Neither additional controllers, nor external servers of management will be required. Also setup in an array (any creation of RAIDs, administration of a pool, mnogourovevny storage, caching and performance management), setup of the database, file system or the virtual machine will not be required.^[1]

Available models as a part of FlashArray//M line:

• M10 (30TB)
• M20 (250TB)
• M50 (500TB)
• M70 (1.5PB)

Support of Sphere Virtual Volumes and Validated Design

The Pure Storage company, independent producer a data storage flash platforms, in January, 2018 announced cooperation increase with VMware and implementation in the All Flash to the FlashArray platform of support of the solution vSphere Virtual Volumes and design of Validated Design.

So, thanks to support of vSphere Virtual Volumes 2.0 clients of VMware can have a granular mapirovaniye of each virtual machine on FlashArray flash array now that will allow to trace levels of SLA service on each virtual machine, will simplify administration of separate virtual machines and will provide possibilities of movement of virtual machines.

VMware vSphere Virtual Volumes on a flash array of FlashArray allows to use also management the politician of DWH for automation of selection of virtual machines and compliance to requirements of applications using available functionality, including highly effective snapshots and replication. All this does operation of systems transparent and less dependence on administrators of DWH gives to administrators of VMware more control.

Pure also received certification of validirovanny design of VMware Validated Design of software-defined data center on the affiliate program of the certified architecture of VMware Certified Partner Architecture Program. Pure and VMware jointly tested and validated the architecture allowing the general clients to create scalable software-defined data centers (Software-defined networks (Software-Defined Network, SDN) and software-defined DPCs (Software-Defined Data Center, SDDC)|SDDC) with automation of IT transactions that gives to developers autonomous infrastructure and additional acceleration of all IT service at implementation of important applications using a private cloud. Pure received certification of VMware Validated Design on the solution using the following components: VMware vSphere, NSX, vRealize and Pure FlashArray.

All solutions are completely supported on All Flash to the Pure Storage platform which lower than one millisecond, reliability of 99.9999%, upgrades without stopping of data access distinguishes Maloy response time, the predictive analytics and model of ownership Evergreen, emphasized in Pure Storage.
