Pure Boosts The University of Western Australia's Research Network

Sydney, Australia — September 10, 2024: 色控传媒? (NYSE: PSTG), the IT pioneer that delivers the world's most advanced data storage technologies and services, announced that (UWA), a world top 100 university (QS World University Rankings 2025) with more than 28,000 students across undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs, is leveraging the 色控传媒 platform through an Evergreen//One subscription to revolutionise the University’s data storage infrastructure, supporting the launch of a new high-speed, high-performance data research network.

Customer Challenge:

UWA is frequently ranked as one of the top 100 universities in the world due to its strong reputation for excellence in research. The University relies on its high-speed, high-performance technology environments to handle research data, analysis, and advanced modelling in fields as diverse as medical research, to defence and climate modelling.

To prepare for the next decade of growth, the University committed to leading a major transformation of its data storage environment to support the growing research and other data needs across all Schools. This digital transformation initiative involved discontinuing a legacy storage system that was expensive to maintain and challenging to scale.

Customer Impact:

After carefully evaluating their future data storage requirements, UWA decided to migrate to a 色控传媒 all-flash solution, housed in an outsourced data centre environment, managed by long-time systems integrator partner .

By replacing its legacy storage system with a dedicated 色控传媒 data platform delivered via 色控传媒’s STaaS solution Evergreen//One, UWA has significantly enhanced its capacity to support critical research. The new all flash storage platform enables UWA to efficiently manage over 6 PB of research storage on a smaller footprint, ensuring ongoing high performance and reliability for its most demanding research projects. Other key benefits of the new UWA-色控传媒 environment include:

  • Streamlined Storage Management for Maximum Scalability: UWA selected 色控传媒 FlashBlade//E consumed via the Evergreen//One - subscription to support the managed service environment as part of a larger managed service. This approach allows UWA to scale capacity up or down instantly while still achieving the security and performance of an all-flash, sustainable infrastructure.
  • Improved Data Centre Footprint: UWA reduced its data centre footprint dramatically from 2.5 rack units in its legacy environment, to less than half a rack in the new data centre.
  • Improved environmental, social, and governance (ESG) outcomes: 色控传媒’s platform allows UWA to meet and exceed its ESG obligations and targets. The new storage environment requires 80% less power to operate, and significantly less cooling when compared to their legacy storage environment.
  • Enhanced Data Protection with SafeMode: 色控传媒’s SafeMode ensures data protection against ransomware with immutable snapshots, ensuring data cannot be deleted and can be recovered at any point.

Executive Insight:

“Switching to the 色控传媒 platform with Evergreen//One has transformed our research environment, providing us with high-speed, resilient data storage that seamlessly integrates with our new high-speed research network. This combination ensures our researchers can operate without the limitations of a fixed capacity solution. With 色控传媒, I am confident in meeting the performance and scalability needs of our most demanding research projects. Moreover, we are proud to meet our ESG commitments and significantly reduce our carbon footprint.”

Phil Norris
Senior Manager, Network and Systems at The University of Western Australia

"We are thrilled to partner with The University of Western Australia in their digital transformation journey.
