Pure Storage has announced it has reached a new growth milestone for its subscription-based Evergreen Storage program, with over 2,700 customers having done non-disruptive storage upgrades and the average number of upgrades having grown 38% year-over-year for the last five years. The consistent growth of Evergreen serves as a foundation for Pure’s strategy to deliver simple, reliable and scalable storage as-a-service (STaaS) and a seamless bridge to the cloud.
Evergreen’s momentum, combined with Pure as-a-Service, a true consumption-based STaaS offering, and Pure Cloud Block Store, which provides seamless data mobility across on-premises and cloud environments, is a testament to Pure’s expanding and unified subscription strategy. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, Pure’s subscription services revenue grew 35% year-over-year.
“Organizations are increasingly turning to subscription-based, as-a-Service solutions to drive agility and eliminate the negative impacts of planned maintenance. The incredible momentum of Evergreen reaffirms our commitment to helping organizations achieve a high level of manageability and simplicity when it comes to their data storage needs.” Prakash Darji, VP and GM, Digital Experience Business Unit, Pure Storage.
While conventional storage upgrades require a complete overhaul of an organization’s IT infrastructure, including removing outdated storage and replacing it with the latest technology, Pure’s Evergreen Storage is completely disruption-free, eliminates storage rebuys, and provides investment protection. To date, the program has successfully delivered over 7,000 non-disruptive controller upgrades to Pure’s growing customer-base, eliminating downtime, performance impact, data migrations and forklift upgrades.
