Pure Storage®, an IT pioneer that provides the world's most advanced data storage technology and services, revealed that its Pure as-a-Service subscription offering has seen continuous growth and customer adoption.
Pure as-a-Service, which was introduced in 2018 as the first real consumption-based storage service model, provides flexibility, transparency, simplicity, and proactive monitoring and non-disruptive upgrades, all while meeting performance and use SLAs (SLAs).
Pure saw increased customer adoption in key markets globally throughout the last year, including one of the world's leading shipping and logistics companies, which selected Pure as-a-Service to build a secure data infrastructure for its new offering. As a result of customer growth, in fiscal year 2022, Pure's subscription services revenue made up 33% of total revenue, exceeding $738 million and representing 37% year-over-year growth. Pure as-a-Service's momentum, combined with the growth of Pure's Evergreen Storage subscription 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.
By building an additional layer of self-service for consumers, Pure has continued to enhance Pure as-a-Service to give better pricing transparency and granularity. Customers may now use an enhanced version of Pure's Cost Calculator, which is incorporated right into Pure1, Pure's AI-driven data-services platform for storage management. Pure is offering clients with unprecedented price transparency for their storage needs by adding the option to undertake extensive workload modelling, obtain a quote, and make purchases directly through the platform.
Global organisations are continuing to benefit from the flexibility and simplicity of Pure as-a-Service, including the City and County of Denver, Wobcom GmbH, and Matrix Solutions:
"With the storage-as-a-service solution, we're no longer guessing at what we might need in three to five years, investing in capacity and performance that may or may not meet our needs down the road. The OPEX model gives us a stable cost structure while avoiding time-consuming procurement processes and forklift upgrades." – Sean Greer, IT Director of Service Delivery, City and County of Denver
"With Pure as-as-Service, we were able to choose the storage capacity we needed to start with, knowing we can scale easily to expand at any time." – Giovanni Coppa, Head of Data Center and Cloud Innovation, Wobcom GmbH
"Pure as-a-Service eliminates capital expenditure surprises and enables us to scale up or down accordingly. I can redirect my attention and resources to cybersecurity and other strategic and high growth opportunities." – Anthony Ridley-Smith, Managing Director & Founder, Matrix Solutions
