FlashBlade™ enables customers to process ever-growing datasets faster – for better insight. It’s driven by three key innovations: Elastic Fabric, Purity for FlashBlade, and scale-out blade.
SUMMARY
Data is the most valuable asset in an organization today. However, slow and complex legacy storage systems often hold data back from being put to use. FlashBlade is the industry's most advanced file and object storage platform ever, a data hub built to consolidate data silos like backup appliances and data lakes – to accelerate tomorrow’s
discoveries and insights.
FlashBlade™ enables customers to process ever-growing datasets faster – for better insight. It’s driven by three key innovations: Elastic Fabric, Purity for FlashBlade, and scale-out blade.
Pure’s FlashBlade™ product delivers performance that grows linearly with more data. It is built to scale to billions of files/objects and beyond. An elastic scale-out architecture at every level, FlashBlade simply expands with your data.
Powered by our innovative Pure1® cloud-based management and support platform, a single administrator can manage a FlashBlade deployment of any size. Scale-out storage has never been simpler to manage.
With an N+2 design for redundancy, FlashBlade can tolerate two full blade failures and many more flash chip failures without data service interruption. The latest low-density parity check, LDPC, error recovery protects against flash bit errors, automatically rebuilding to heal around failures, and all data is encrypted all the time.
We designed intelligence into the networking so you don’t have to worry about it. The FlashBlade product utilizes a high performance 320Gb/s fabric with object messaging and distributed transaction protocol to ensure fast and reliable communication between Purity instances running on each blade.
Separate virtual networks isolate client, metadata, and data transport with defined service-level agreements, SLAs, while a single fabric integrates interconnect complexities to make scale-out storage seamless.
From client to blade, a 320Gb/s Ethernet network ensures super-fast, cost-effective connectivity that you never have to manage.
Proprietary object messaging and distributed transaction protocols are built on a massively parallel architecture to ensure rapid communication between Purity instances running on each blade.
Separate virtual networks isolate client, metadata, and data transport with defined SLAs, while a single fabric integrates interconnect complexities to make scale-out storage seamless.
