The performance of FlashBlade is excellent. It does not necessarily leverage the SOS API that some of the newer products leverage, but I found its speed pretty much on par and comparable. It is fast, and it does what it is supposed to do.
Pure Storage FlashBlade simplifies storage with easy setup and transparent dashboards, aiding capacity management and provisioning. Enhanced performance speeds reduce ownership costs by up to 20%. Reliable data replicas ensure safety, and integration with VMware enhances scalability. Challenges include Pure Storage Orchestrator feature development, unmet deduplication rates, and delayed technical support. Pricing and licensing fees are concerns, with users desiring better cost efficiency and improved integration with public clouds and hybrid solutions.
