The tool is highly scalable. I rate the scalability a ten out of ten. We have deployed the tool for two clients. We are about to deploy for another client soon. Our clients are media and entertainment businesses.

It's very scalable. You can increase capacity without downtime. You can also upgrade the controller after two years with the Evergreen feature. This can also be done without any downtime.

We have deployed Pure Storage FlashBlade to enterprise clients in the banking, financial, and IT industries. Thus, there are over 500 users of this solution.

The scalability of this product has been amazing.  We have scaled out some of our FlashBlade environments to get numbers we couldn't come close to with other solutions.

My understanding is that it's pretty straightforward. I like to reference these things as LEGOs and building blocks. Pure seems to go this way. Basically, if you want to add storage, you're dropping in a tray. The tray is coming with the storage and some intelligence. You're building up as you go, and I love that.

We've only been using the solution for three months. We haven't really tested scalability. It's my understanding that it is scalable however, I don't have any first-hand experience in the matter.

In terms of scalability, it doesn't expand out quite as robustly as some of the others, but it covers 90% of the market in what it does.

It is for sure scalable. If a company needs to expand dit, it can do so. It's not a problem.

We currently have three clients on the solution. Two are in a POC and one is commercially live.

DD
VP of Engineering at a pharma/biotech company with 51-200 employees

We haven't pushed it to its limits. We're only at one FlashBlade so far. Being able to dynamically scale it as we added more storage was simply enough. I have no reason to believe it wouldn't be as painless when we scale up to multiple FlashBlades.

Scalability has not been an issue. Performance has been great. It is just the capacity and dedupe part, which is a little light.

Our scale is not that big because we have one array. It is not our primary source.

The scalability is possible, however, if they could make the process faster to the cloud it would be better.

It is very scalable. I have gone from five blades to seven blades. While it did require some rebooting, it scales well.

We are on the low side for our storage. I wish we had purchased more.

We are looking to grow, so we will probably be adding more storage.

I like the scalability options. We recently expanded the storage and it's not straightforward but their team helped make it happen.
