I am still doing solutioning and offering side of things on these elements. At this point in time, we are only looking at X70 and X90, these two arrays. We have different deployment options. We can air-gap the solution, where the data can be secured in a vault kind of a solution, where we can bring the systems workloads at the earliest. I need to probably explore that option working along with Pure Storage Evergreen One. From the industry scale perspective, the pricing is found to be on par with the other vendors with equal capabilities.
I have found that Pure Storage Evergreen One received a score of nine for having excellent technology with no downtime, no data loss, and no need for migration during tech refreshes. I would rate the overall solution a 9 out of 10.

We are still going through the process of finishing up the configurations and pushing old data from our old peer environment to our new peer environment. Overall rating is seven or an eight out of ten.
I would recommend it to others. This is not a bot, but you have to know what you need before you buy it. If you don't know what you need, you're probably not going to get what you need. We did a lot of thinking, thoughts, and calculations to ensure we got what we needed before we bought it. For instance, if you think you need 200 terabytes of disks and in two weeks you outgrow it, then you have to go back to Pure Storage and say, "Hey, we need more." They will say, "Of course, wait a couple of days, and we'll tell you more, but it will cost this much." However, that's no different from other companies. When we bought the Evergreen, we bought it based on what we use each month. If you overuse it, it's going to cost a lot more until you change the contract to reflect your actual needs. We thought about this a lot before we committed, and we have a monthly cost we're very, very happy with. I wouldn't recommend it to small companies. However, small companies can also use this product because they don't need all the horsepower that we got. They have smaller solutions, which are going to be a lot cheaper. So, for every company that needs a storage solution that can be attached to virtual servers or large storage solutions, Pure Storage can deliver it. It is not for companies that don't need scalable hardware. If they don't need it and just need one server with direct attach hard drives, they don't need this solution. If they need a NAS or a SAN solution, Pure Storage is probably going to be one of the best products on the market for the price. Overall rating: We get the speed that we calculated and wanted. I would rate it a ten on ten. We spent a couple of months to compare pros and cons with Pure Storage, HPE, Siemens, Dell, and so on. Within the overall, I also include how to use it. The maintenance of the product and sharing out space to the system is much easier and takes less work time today than before. We used to have two people handling the storage for at least sixteen hours a week, two guys, eight hours per person each week. Now, we have three guys taking out the hardware when needed, but we don't spend much time on it, maybe thirty minutes total for all three guys each week. We've gone from sixteen hours to a maximum of half an hour a week to maintain the hardware. That's why we can easily recommend this product to anyone in need of this kind of storage.
