"Blackbox Hosting has consolidated storage from two full racks down to just 8U of rack space following migration to Everpure FlashArray hardware, achieving a 10:1 data reduction ratio and an 85% reduction in power utilization."
"Support renewal costs were significant, and we had issues with HPE support. We had a power supply failure in a DR site, and despite a four-hour SLA, it took nearly two weeks to replace."
"The 3PAR environment was cumbersome and required two full racks of hardware to manage the company's near-petabyte scale. We looked for a more performant and dense alternative."
"The deployment includes two FlashArray//X50 R3s, two X50 R4s, and two FlashArray//C20 units for file clusters, supporting predominantly Hyper-V and VMware VMs."
Blackbox Hosting migrated to Everpure FlashArray hardware, consolidating storage from two full racks to just 8U. This transition enabled a 10:1 data reduction ratio and an 85% decrease in power utilization. The company, which has evolved to support over 1,500 virtual machines, faced challenges with its previous HPE 3PAR 8400 all-flash arrays, including high support costs and slow response times. The new deployment includes various Pure Storage FlashArray models, enhancing performance and efficiency in managing workloads primarily based on Windows and SQL Server.
