RUN YOUR ENTERPRISE MIXED WORKLOADS ON THE PURE DATA-CENTRIC ARCHITECTURE The top 10 reasons to simplify, modernize, and
optimize enterprise IT and business operations
with Pure Storage solutions
ONE SIZE DOESN’T FIT ALL.
If your enterprise is like most, you’re running a mix of workloads — including Microsoft®, Oracle®,
and SAP® tier-1 applications and some tier-2 applications. You’re probably juggling containers,
virtualization, and some form of private, hybrid, or public cloud. You also know that mission-
critical business applications are sensitive to storage performance and latency, and they require
a resilient enterprise IT environment.
Mixed workloads can require different architectures, which can:
• Create complexity and administrative headaches
• Drive up costs
• Slow performance
• Create security and compliance risks
You’re also all too aware that managing the complexity of different architectures can stand
between you and modernizing your enterprise and achieving digital transformation.
ONE SOLUTION DOES FIT ALL.
What if you could run tier-1 applications, tier-2 applications, containers, virtualization, and
different clouds on a single architecture?
You can, with the Pure Storage Data Cloud. And when you do, you can consolidate your
enterprise onto a single, efficient all-flash data cloud that empowers you to simplify, modernize,
and optimize your IT and business operations.
The Pure Data-Centric Architecture:
• Empowers you to easily consolidate, is cost-effective, and is simple to deploy and manage
• Supports your need to do real-time analysis for rapid decision making
• Is reliable, and offers predictable and unprecedented performance and security
• Is smart and self-driving, and works with your multi-workload, multi-cloud reality
• Includes Pure Storage FlashArray products with six-nines availability to meet the needs
of your always-on enterprise1

1. SIMPLICITY ACCESS AN EASY, SIMPLE WAY TO RUN CONSOLIDATED WORKLOADS
Single-Solution Simplicity
The Pure Data-Centric Architecture empowers you to consolidate tier-1 and tier-2 applications,
databases, big data, analytics, development, test, quality assurance (QA), production, and
virtualization workloads. Run Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, and other workloads on a single data
architecture. And eliminate the need to run and manage mission-critical workloads in silos on
separate architectures.
Quick and Simple to Deploy
A business card–sized getting-started guide speaks to how quick and simple it is to deploy the
all-flash Pure Storage solutions. You can be set up and optimized in half the time it takes to set
up other storage solutions. No workload-specific tuning or setup is needed.
Data Management in a Snap
Whatever mix of workloads you run, Pure Storage keeps things simple with tools that help
automate mundane tasks. For all environments, the Pure Data-Centric Architecture supports
automated backup and recovery for low recovery-time objectives (RTOs) and recovery-point
objectives (RPOs) without added investment in or installation of more tools.
Integrations and Tools for Simple Management
• The Pure Storage Copy Automation Tool (CAT) for SAP automates up to 75% of SAP
copy functionality with no setup or configuration required and reduces the time and cost
required for SAP system copy, clone, and refresh tasks by 80–90%.3
• The Pure Storage CAT for Oracle lets admins create database copies and clones easily
and nearly instantaneously from a command-line interface (CLI) or directly from within
Oracle Enterprise Manager.
• The Pure Storage Oracle Enterprise Manager Plug-in lets admins provision storage from
within Oracle Enterprise Manager.
• The Pure Storage PowerShell™ SDK enables automation and simple management for
Microsoft solutions.
• Pure Storage solutions include integration with the Microsoft Offloaded Data Transfer
(ODX) API for completing fast, transparent, and automatic data copy and move services for
files and virtual machines (VMs) onto Pure Storage solutions.
• Pure Storage regularly releases a variety of value-added integrations for
Microsoft solutions.
• A set of pre-built connectors, open interfaces, and automation script toolkits makes it
simple to integrate the open and extensible Pure Data-Centric Architecture with your
data-center management framework.

2. FUTURE-READY MODERNIZE WORKLOADS AND REALIZE ALWAYS-ON SCALABLE CAPACITY
Easily Scale Capacity as Your Data Volumes Grow
The Pure Data-Centric Architecture offers elastic scale with on-demand capacity and
performance. Scale from 55 TB to more than 3 PBs of effective capacity with the Pure Storage
FlashArray family or petabytes with the Pure Storage FlashBlade™ solution simply by adding a
blade — and all without migrating anything.4
Run one or multiple applications and go from managing operational data to implementing a
data warehouse to doing advanced analytics or an all-flash architecture — all on the Pure Data-
Centric Architecture — without forklift upgrades, new hardware, or disruptions of any kind.
Discover Infrastructure That’s Ready for the Future
The Pure Storage Evergreen™ Storage model gives you the power to scale and upgrade as
needed. It lets you deploy once and upgrade hardware, software, and flash density whenever
you need for no added cost. You can mix and match components online without disrupting
performance, so you can keep storage dense, efficient, and modern. Even if the future is only
six months away, the Evergreen Storage model includes the Right-Size Guarantee, which
guarantees you have effective capacity, risk-free, and in writing, for six months.6
Instant Access to New Features
The Pure Storage FlashArray and FlashBlade REST APIs make it possible to use new features
the minute they’re available and deployed — with no new hardware or configuration required.
You just choose whether you want to use the new feature or not. The APIs require no
middleware and no gateways, and they are always on. Any tool or piece of software that can
invoke the REST APIs can automate and orchestrate FlashArray or FlashBlade activity.
100% NVM Express® (NVMe™) Performance Now
Industry analysts forecast that NVMe will be the leading interface protocol for flash by 2019.
And the Pure Storage FlashArray//X family offers 100% native NVMe performance for data
storage needs right now.
