MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.,
Sept. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Pure
Storage® (NYSE: PSTG), the IT pioneer that delivers storage
as-a-service in a multi-cloud world, today announced that DC BLOX,
a provider of interconnected multi-tenant data centers across the
Southeastern U.S., has adopted FlashBlade®, Pure's unified fast
file and object (UFFO) storage solution, delivered via Pure
as-a-Service™ to power the growing storage infrastructure needs of
its customers and accelerate local economic growth.
DC BLOX's customers include regional life sciences organizations
that collaborate globally - from genomic sequencing service labs
and large research institutions, to hospitals that leverage crucial
research for patient care, including hard-to-diagnose medical
anomalies. However, to collaborate effectively on a global scale
and advance pivotal industry research, these organizations require
split-second access to massive volumes of information often stored
in specialized equipment and databases. In fact, a single genome
center alone can generate six petabytes of data per year. Without
the right underlying infrastructure, researchers are burdened by a
time-intensive waiting period, and the collaboration process is
severely obstructed.
Using Pure's FlashBlade® delivered via Pure as-a-Service™,
however, DC BLOX offers customers fast, secure, and resilient data
pipelines that can adeptly handle growing amounts of unstructured
data, while keeping prices for data-intensive workloads competitive
and continuing its regional expansion of data centers. FlashBlade
enables DC BLOX customers to quickly process large, complex genomic
workloads supported by high performance and capacity, and at
pricing that reflects actual consumption.
DC BLOX is also leveraging Pure's Evergreen Storage™
subscription, which allows it to upgrade with no disruptions and
expand its Pure infrastructure when needed.
"With Pure, we can effectively provide clients with the storage,
connectivity, and cloud infrastructure needed to operate and
collaborate worldwide, while seamlessly adding capacity on demand
without incurring the disruption and cost of a forklift upgrade
every few years. Together, we're empowering customers to focus on
their businesses instead of allocating precious resources to
managing storage infrastructure. Additionally, Pure is so well
engineered that we no longer have to deal with much day-to-day
maintenance and can focus on DC BLOX's regional expansion." --
Chris Gatch, Chief Technology
Officer, DC BLOX.
"The sheer amount of unstructured data is exploding today,
arming organizations with the ability to drive next-generation
insights and make critical business breakthroughs. We're excited to
work with DC BLOX to offer customers an efficient and reliable way
to consume this modern data and ultimately power innovation and
growth globally." -- Amy Fowler, VP,
Strategy and Solutions, FlashBlade Business Unit, Pure Storage.
