Pure Storage FlashStack – Product Brief

Note: Evaluator Group research of Converged Infrastructure has been discontinued. The following Product Brief has been archived and is no longer being maintained for updates as of January 2023.

FlashStack is a Converged Infrastructure (CI) solution that’s comprised of Cisco UCS servers, Cisco networking components and Pure Storage all-flash storage arrays. FlashStack is a rack-level infrastructure solution that is configured for specific workloads or use cases, such as server/desktop virtualization, database, test and development, private/hybrid cloud, etc.

FlashStack is available with block and file storage (with S3 connectivity) using the FlashArray and FlashBlade Pure Storage systems. Pure also offers the FlashStack Mini, for entry-level deployments or specialized applications that require a dedicated infrastructure. The Mini starts a single Cisco 5108 UCS blade server chassis and Pure Storage FlashArray with 12.5TB of capacity and fibre channel or iSCSI connectivity.

FlashStack configurations follow the list of Cisco Validated Designs (CVD) and are implemented through FlashStack partners. CVDs can also provide a starting point that’s modified to fit specific customer requirements.

Pure Storage Arrays

FlashStack is available with the Pure Storage FlashArray//M, FlashArray//X and FlashBlade storage systems. Pure Storage’s Flash Array and FlashBlade systems use purpose-built flash modules (not SSDs) and offer embedded, inline data reduction and a slate of advanced storage services. For more information on any of these storage systems, see the appropriate Evaluator Series Research documentation.

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
