Pure Storage Evergreen Subscription Separates Hardware, Software
Summary
The Evergreen expansion was introduced at the Pure//Accelerate Digital techfest22 conference being held this week in Los Angeles. New with Evergreen//Forever is the expansion to cover Pure Storage technology sold on a capex basis, on particular hardware and software SKUs, and term-based subscriptions, he said. Complicating the issue is the fact that, while some businesses like the idea of treating storage as an operating expense, others want to treat it as a capital expense while still others like the cloud-like operating model but for regulatory or accounting reasons need to own the hardware side, he said. “Customers are asking for the ability to own the hardware while subscribing to a service,” Field told CRN. “Then they will get Evergreen//Forever so they get a clear path for their technology going forward.” Jerrod Janes, vice president of technical presales for the Advanced Solutions Group of SHI International, a Somerset, N.J.-based solution provider and Pure Storage channel partner, told CRN the key advantage of Evergreen//Flex is the ability to buy what is needed when it is needed.
