Pure Storage, an all-flash data platform provider for the Cloud era and recognized by Gartner as a leader in the Magic Quadrant for Solid-State Arrays for five consecutive years, has just named CLM as its distributor in Brazil.
Technology has followed this demand with ALL FLASH equipment. The old HDD (hard drive) technology has troughput around 120 Mb/s while All Flash exceeds 500 Mb/s, with 50% less power consumption.
Distribution – The agreement brings 100% flash storage solutions to the Brazilian market for medium and large companies that need a solution with low management complexity and high reliability. On the other hand, the Californian company now has the entire network of CLM's specialized channels in the country. The expectation is to supply more than a hundred installations in Brazil in 2020.
NVME Non-Volatile Memory Express – CLM's product manager, Silvio Cardoso, explains that the company sought a highly complex technology supplier in the market that would integrate the distributor's portfolio and have differentials capable of meeting latent demands in the composition of its portfolio. “Pure Storage's solution is 100% flash, with NVME standard bus with very high performance level. Its technical characteristics serve projects of extreme complexity and criticality, in sectors such as financial institutions, telecommunications, governments, whether in Cloud or on-premise projects.”
99,9999% – This is what Pure Storage's country manager in Brazil, Paulo de Godoy, points out: “Our solutions have availability of six levels of 9s – including planned downtime, controller upgrades, software upgrades and capacity expansions. For cloud projects, our Hardware-as-a-Service portfolio helps replace outdated storage systems with the faster, more cost-effective and versatile Pure Storage systems that meet the needs of modern technology environments.”
APIs – In addition to API-defined storage services that operate with multiple protocols, multiple layers, and multiple clouds in just one environment, Pure Storage solutions virtually eliminate downtime. storage services with performance 100%.
Encryption-free-of-charge – The data encryption solution, always active, at no additional cost, is already prepared for the strict rules of GDPR and LGPD, being one of the factors that should boost sales of the solution in 2020.
Updating drivers and disk ensures solution longevity
guaranteed innovation – According to the CLM manager, the business model of the new partner was also predominant in the closing of the agreement. “Pure Storage offers an Innovation Subscription, which eliminates paid controller and disk upgrades and reduces new hardware purchases to expansion needs.” The model revolutionizes the sales strategy and radically reduces the TCO, with significant gains, in the order of 50 to 60% on average. It guarantees greater longevity of the implemented solution, with software upgrades, which do not need to be replaced every three or five years due to obsolescence. There are two maintenance subscription formats: Evergreen Silver and Evergreen Gold. The values are fixed in dollars and already known at the time of signing the proposal.
microservices – It is worth noting that software licensing is included in the solution, at no cost, and includes a set of microservices that can be activated as needed, in addition to being able, with each firmware update, to receive new functionalities. Pure Storage has launched over 73 new microservices over the past four years, available to all customers at no additional cost. Among them, the Compress and Data Desdup functionality, where the company has the best effectiveness in the market in this regard.
Data Protection – Another important feature included in the solution is the Native Snapshot, a native Data Protection tool that allows reversing the environment when necessary, without compromising performance.
LGPD – The always-on data encryption solution is already prepared for the strict GDPR and LGPD regulations, being one of the factors that should boost sales in 2020.
