❓ In-Depth FAQ
1. Is this array compatible with my existing VMware environment?
Absolutely! The FlashArray //m has native VMware integration with vVols, VAAI, and VASA Provider support. Compatible with vSphere 6.0+ and vSAN for hybrid environments.
2. What is the actual performance in a mixed read/write environment?
In a mixed workload of 70/30 read/write, expect 120,000+ IOPS with latency <1ms. Adaptive algorithms automatically optimize according to your access patterns.
3. How does data reduction work and what is the real gain?
Purity Reduce technology combines 5 techniques: variable compression, global deduplication, pattern removal, thin provisioning, and zero detection. Average reduction 5:1 or 192TB effective for 38TB raw.
4. Is high availability guaranteed during maintenance?
Yes, the dual-controller architecture with hot-swappable modules allows maintenance without interruption. Firmware upgrades, controller/SSD replacement without service impact.
5. Can I extend the capacity later?
Modular architecture allowing the addition of 12TB/24TB expansion shelves (up to 4 shelves per chassis). Online expansion without data migration or interruption.
6. What is the difference with NetApp or Dell EMC solutions?
FlashArray outperforms the competition with 2x better data reduction, 50% lower latency, and truly unified block/file architecture. Unmatched operational simplicity.
7. Is monitoring and alerting included?
Pure1 Cloud platform included offers 24/7 monitoring, predictive analytics, and proactive support. Unique interface for global management of the fleet.
8. What are the infrastructure prerequisites?
Standard 19" rack, redundant power supply recommended, 16Gb FC switches or 10Gb Ethernet. Internet bandwidth for Pure1 (optional but recommended).
