Pure Storage, the all-flash enterprise storage company, enables the broad deployment of flash in the data center. When compared to traditional disk-centric arrays, Pure Storage all-flash arrays are 10X faster and 10x more space and power efficient at a price point that is less than performance disk on a per gigabyte stored basis. The Pure Storage FlashArray is ideal for high performance workloads, including server virtualization, desktop virtualization (VDI), database (OLTP, real-time analytics) and cloud computing. For more information, visit http://www.purestorage.com.
Please let us know if you’re interested in speaking to our folks while
you’re there or conversely, if you can’t make it to the event, we’re happy
to schedule a seperate webinar for you to learn more. Please let us know either way.
Look forward to it!
Kind Regards,
Mollie
