Anyone use or used Pure Storage for your database storage? We currently have NetApp and it is coming on a hardware refresh so we are looking around. We've looked at the ZFS which seems really nice, a little more expensive than we though but great for Oracle database. Now my system admins are looking at Pure Storage as a possibility as well. From what I read it seems like a all flash system and apparently hardware freshes are built into the support contract. Let me know if you have any onions.
Currently we are running Oracle on Windows Server 2008r2 with 11.2.0.4 but moving all over to Oracle Linux and eventually 12c.

Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Jeff!
I don't have any onions, but I can offer some scallions. As a consultant working for a backup vendor, I have encountered Pure several times and all the customers that I know of are very happy. Pure is very fast and very reliable. Administration interface is fairly intuitive and it supports everything that other storage support.
Regards
