Pure Storage isn’t riding the NVMe bandwagon yet, but it has reserved a seat. Pure promises its customers they can upgrade all new FlashArray//M systems to NVMe by the end of 2017 through the vendor’s Evergreen Storage program.
NVMe is a memory-class protocol for communications between CPU and flash. NVMe SSDs are expected to replace SAS SSDs. Bulk shipments are expected in 2017 although arrays such as EMC DSSD D5 and systems from startups E8 Storage and Apeiron Data Systems already use NVMe.
Pure today said it is offering an NVMe-Ready Guarantee. Pure VP of products Matt Kixmoeller said the guarantee means if Pure cannot upgrade an array to NVMe in 2017, the vendor will replace that customer’s system with a new NVMe array.
