Storage as a service (STaaS) is a data storage model that uses subscription-based resources to provide businesses with virtual storage for data protection and running business applications. The model helps save businesses money through operating expenditure (OPEX) agility, allowing users to only pay for what they use.

The company’s net revenues for Q3 was $562.7 million, a 37% increase year over year. Its subscription annual recurring revenue for its StaaS and software services is up 30%.

During the pandemic, digital migration became a top priority. This was particularly true for Serveis d’informatica Local de Menorca (SILME), the organization providing IT services to power the self-governing island of Menorca.
Its plans to become a Smart Island were sped up during the pandemic, when it chose to make use of Pure Storage’s virtual storage and data management software for a perfect balance of performance and cost. Its existing storage system was insufficient to enable digitization, particularly with administrators and educators working remotely.
SILME implemented two Pure Storage FlashArray//X storage arrays, with ActiveCluster replication and the Pure1 storage management application. With one array stored at SILME headquarters and the other at the Island’s data center, it has achieved redundancy for high availability and can manage the distributed system easily with its chosen software. Of particular importance is its accounting system for the whole Island, which it is now more confident will run smoothly and securely with a replicated virtual storage platform.
Pure Storage’s software portfolio consistently receives strong reviews from trusted technology rating platforms, including:
Users appreciate the hassle-free setup and convenience of viewing everything in one interface with software solutions like Pure1. Reviewers also speak highly of its algorithms for space reduction and compression. Users of Pure Storage Flash Arrays also report smooth software updates and strong IT support with storage management software that is far ahead of competitors.
In September, the company further established itself as a market leader in data management for Kubernetes with the launch of its Portworx software. This shows that the company is expanding its portfolio by increasingly offering as-a-service options for services as well as storage to allow users to get everything in one place.
Pure Storage is also asserting industry expertise in the realm of cybersecurity, urging state and local governments to adopt a whole-of-state approach toward great cyber resiliency. Michael Wiseman, VP of public sector at Pure Storage, discusses the importance of real-time access to data and holistic recovery plans for state and local governments.
