"Its potential is significant – the technologies are truly complementary and we have big ambitions for what together, they will deliver.”
Pure Storage will offer its FlashBlade built-for AI and analytics platform through PNY Technologies to rectify many of the challenges associated with processing vast amounts of data on legacy storage solutions. The solution offers 8TB of usable storage, 75 GB/s read throughput, 25 GB/s write throughput on just half a rack.
