Throughout the last year, it saw increased customer adoption in every key market globally. In 4Q20 alone, new customers included major clouds, financial institutions, hospitals, telecommunications companies, and more, including a customer with a Pure as-a-Service commitment of more than $10 million. Pure’s annual subscription services revenue, which includes Pure as-a-Service and Evergreen and makes up more than 30% of total revenues, exceeded $500 million in FY21, representing 33% Y/Y growth.

Pure has continued to advance its subscription services platform, reducing complexity by eliminating additional licenses and support costs, and delivering new levels of transparency. Pure’s Service Catalog, introduced in 4Q20, mirrors a public cloud experience, with increased granularity, and lower entry points designed to scale. Customers can use the Cost Calculator to estimate their Pure as-a-Service monthly cost, making it simpler for customers to choose the right storage service level for each workload.

“Only Pure delivers a true enterprise utility with flexible storage consumption; a cloud experience on premise; an easy path to move data to the cloud at any time; and aligns spend with actual consumption. As customers continue to face dynamic business demands, Pure as-a-Service delivers the flexibility, simplicity and reliability they need,” said Prakash Darji, VP and GM, digital technology services group.

“Pure’s vision of storage as code proved its worth during the pandemic, enabling our customers to scale storage capacity to stay in step with rapidly changing demands. With Pure as-a-Service, our customers could pay for the exact capacity they needed while still getting the same performance and availability they’d have in a traditional cloud desktop,” said Robert Green, president, co-founder, and CTO, Dizzion, Inc.

“Pure was the only supplier to offer us a flexible, innovative, and scalable offering with Pure as-a-Service, which was the deciding factor. We were won over by its fully OpEx model, consumption-based billing, and short-term contracts,” said Fabrice Joffre, technical director, Hopps Group.

“We’ve found that with Pure as-a-Service we get all the benefits of a flexible consumption model without having to compromise on security,” said Jo Verstappen, CEO, Open Line B.V.
