By extending the FlashArray architecture, Pure Storage combines robust storage capabilities with capacity and cost tailored to meet the needs of small and medium-sized businesses. The FlashArray//C20 offers a simplified, flash-based solution that provides the same competitive $/TiB as larger arrays. This makes it an appealing alternative for businesses moving away from hybrid storage systems for critical workloads. ### Addressing the Needs of Business-Critical Workloads The FlashArray//C20 is purpose-built to meet the storage demands of business-critical applications requiring high availability and consistently low latency. However, unlike mission-critical workloads, these applications don’t demand maximum performance, making it challenging for organizations to find the right product that balances capacity and price. Applications such as large-scale VMs, databases, development/testing environments, and disaster recovery rely on storage solutions that support entry-level capacity with enterprise-grade quality. ![Pure Storage FlashArray//C20](https://www.storagereview.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/storagereview-Pure-Storage-FlashArrayC20.png) Pure Storage FlashArray//C20 Current market options have often required businesses to compromise by choosing hybrid storage for its affordability or paying a premium for performance-optimized flash they don’t fully utilize. The FlashArray//C20 provides an alternative, offering a capacity-optimized solution tailored for these workloads, delivering flash performance and reliability at a cost comparable to hybrid storage solutions. Configurations support smaller capacities that are well-suited for edge environments and workloads scaling up to petabyte levels, enabled by [Pure Storage’s DirectFlash Modules](https://www.storagereview.com/podcast/podcast-130-the-latest-from-pure-storage-24-accelerate-highlights) (DFMs). The entry-level model starts at 148TB, giving customers the power and scalability of the Pure Storage platform at an approachable initial capacity. ### Enterprise-Grade Economics and Capabilities The FlashArray//C20 is finely tuned for low-latency performance, high density, and cost-efficient $/GB economics typically expected from hybrid storage arrays. For over 15 years, Pure Storage has built a reputation for supporting customers’ businesses with reliable and efficient storage solutions. With the Pure Storage platform, customers gain workload optimization, easy migration across environments, and seamless management from a single control plane provided by Pure1 and Pure Fusion. The FlashArray//C20 is part of the Pure Storage platform and benefits from key platform advantages, including intelligent fleet management, autonomous modeling, a global storage pool, and a unified OS. These features enhance workload mobility and simplify management, allowing businesses to effortlessly handle multiple storage arrays.
