Pure Storage PSTG has taken Bloomington by storm, with the city recently adopting its innovative data storage solutions to catapult its digital services to the next level.
Located in Central Illinois, Bloomington, boasting a population of 80,000, is a multifaceted city with a vibrant economy encompassing sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, medicine, education, and entertainment.
Embracing PSTG’s data storage platform through the Evergreen//Flex subscription has led to an impressive 85% reduction in the city’s data center footprint from 48U to a mere 7U. This transformation not only boosts financial flexibility but also enhances overall IT performance, allowing the city to shift its focus to critical operations like data retention policies aimed at fostering regional economic growth.
By leveraging Pure Storage FlashArray via an Evergreen//Flex subscription, Bloomington now pays solely for the storage space utilized, alongside gaining ownership of on-premises storage. The Pure1 AIOps management console further provides invaluable insights into the storage environment.
Noteworthy is the surge in data due to the proliferation of police body cameras in Bloomington. With the deployment of Pure Storage FlashArray, public safety videos are efficiently stored, enabling quick access to crucial public safety information as needed.
Headquartered in Mountain View, CA, PSTG focuses on delivering cutting-edge software-defined all-flash solutions that are renowned for their speed and cloud compatibility, available on subscription through Evergreen//One and Cloud Data Services.
For fiscal 2024, Pure Storage raked in revenues of $2.8 billion, a 3% year-over-year increase, with TCV sales for Evergreen//One and Evergreen//Flex surpassing $400 million in the same period.
Presently, Pure Storage carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), with its shares witnessing a commendable 111.4% growth compared to the sub-industry’s 184.2% surge.
