TheEvergreen//Flexoffering allows customers toown their array hardwarewhile paying for storage on asubscription basis.
Why This Matters:
Evergreen//Flex:
This model combines the benefits of ownership with the flexibility of a subscription. Customers own the hardware outright but pay for storage capacity and services (e.g., maintenance, upgrades) on a subscription basis.
It provides predictable costs and access to Pure Storage's Evergreen architecture, ensuring long-term value and future-proofing.
Why Not the Other Options?
A. Evergreen//Foundation:
Evergreen//Foundation is a traditional purchase model where customers buy the hardware and software upfront. It does not involve a subscription-based payment structure.
B. Evergreen//One:
Evergreen//One is a fully managed subscription service where customers do not own the hardware. Instead, they lease the equipment and pay for storage as a service.
D. Cloud Block Store:
Cloud Block Store is a cloud-native block storage solution that runs in public clouds (e.g., AWS, Azure). It does not involve owning on-premises hardware.
Key Points:
Ownership:Customers retain ownership of the hardware.
Subscription Flexibility:Pay for storage and services on a subscription basis.
Predictable Costs:Aligns with budgeting and financial planning goals.
