Evergreen Challenge: Does Your Storage Provide Peace of Mind?

Oct 10, 2023 | blog.purestorage.com | Prakash Darji |Urmi Mukherjee |Dennis Laube |Kevin Rickson

What makes storage agile from an architectural perspective? If it’s built from the ground up for easy modular upgrades, storage and Evergreen storage becomes an enabler of innovation, instead of a roadblock. Unfortunately, legacy storage adds complexity and holds you back rather than making your job easier and propelling you forward. That’s why Pure Storage designed all of its products, like FlashArray™, from the ground up to be upgraded with data in place, without downtime or performance loss.
