Pure Storage issued its inaugural ESG Report, which provides visibility into the company’s current metrics and sets commitments for making meaningful progress toward a better future for the global community.
“Pure makes a significant and immediate impact today by reducing data center carbon emissions worldwide through our environmental sustainability efforts,” said Charles Giancarlo, Chairman and CEO, Pure Storage. “Pure’s products positively impact our customers’ environmental footprint by requiring substantially less power, space, and cooling and by producing less waste than disk-based or competitive all-flash systems.”
Building sustainable technology infrastructure is necessary to mitigate global warming and the worst impacts of climate change. Pure is leading the way by designing and building products and delivering services that allow customers to dramatically decrease their own environmental footprints. As part of this ESG report, Pure conducted a product life cycle assessment (LCA) of its portfolio, specifically the FlashArray products, which found that Pure customers achieve up to 80% reduction in direct carbon usage by data systems compared to competitive products.
Expanding on the energy and emissions-savings that Pure brings its customers, Pure’s unique Evergreen architecture and Pure as-a-Service subscription deliver further environmental benefits by significantly minimizing e-waste, extending the service lifetimes of equipment, and reducing underutilization of storage. As a result of these programs, 97% of Pure arrays purchased six years ago are still in service.
