Good data availability and resiliency with robust availability

The primary use case for Dell APEX is endpoint backup for endpoint security. We are planning to expand and include our server model and SAP data backup through Dell APEX in the near future Dell APEX has provided peace of mind by safeguarding our data. Though there hasn't been a noticeable impact…

Has snapshot features and offers a clear understanding of their storage usage and capacity

There is a feature called snapshots. We put snapshots on disks, and we can save information. In the case of ransomware, everything is in the snapshot. We have a snapshot lock on it, so it's safe. We actually send this information to another city, saving all the information a couple of times each day to Pure Storage. This is something that everyone should do, like banks. They have the Pure Storage solution, and each hour, they should send all the information they have to a second, third, or fourth storage in another city to ensure they have the storage backed up. I invented a possible way to ensure Pure Storage could help customers in the future, and we implemented this solution with their technology. I know their engineers are talking to other banks in the northern region to see if they want to implement the same thing. Pure Storage had the technology already, but no one tested it the way I wanted to, and it worked fine. We have primary storage that is fast and secondary storage that is slow, but the replication links are very fast. We can replicate a lot of storage in a short time to a different city and reverse the storage when needed, just for disaster recovery. Pure Storage is now telling customers they can do it this way, and it's awesome. Interface and Ease of Use: -------------------------- Ease of use is one of the main reasons we use Pure Storage. Dell PowerMAX's usage is hard. You have to go through long and hard training just to learn how to use it. Here, you connect with a Zoom or Teams meeting, and they guide you through what you need to do. They don't just show you; we, as customers, have to do it ourselves with their guidance. They provide a workshop, tell us what to do, and we do it. By doing this repeatedly, we learn and can handle everything that's needed. We've implemented new features or solutions, working with storage engineers to ensure it all works. It's that easy to work with.
