If you're like many of our customers then you're probably thinking about sustainability and energy savings in some way. Whether you're under pressure to help cut down on your organization's energy costs or maybe your organization is trying to meet sustainability goals that are driven by customers or by regulations or maybe you're just trying to do your part to help save the environment.
00:20
All these paths lead to the same noble outcome, but it's going to take considerable effort on everyone's part. Now here are pure storage. We've been all about providing you with performance and simple to manage storage but did you know that were also very serious about sustainability? Well how serious we're talking service level agreements serious
00:51
Evergreen one is piers storage as a service offering. So what does that mean? Well that means instead of purchasing all of your storage hardware up front, you can get the same hardware or cloud-based storage as a subscription. So you're only paying for what you use and it's all backed by peers, service level agreements. We're talking things such as performance,
01:14
maintaining up to six nines of availability, zero planned downtime for upgrades or expansions and also maintaining your capacity. But we're adding to that list and we're now announcing yet another service level agreement here storage partnered with a third party where they found our storage to be up to 80% more efficient than the competition and we published this information in our report last year and if
01:41
you're looking for transparency to see how your storage stacks up. You can see your actual power draw for each array data center or your entire fleet from within the sustainability assessment in pier one, the energy savings are actual numbers compared to real hardware that we compete against. It's not just marketing, however, we understand the skepticism that some may have and so that's
02:03
why Pierre is announcing an industry first energy efficiency service level agreement for all new evergreen one contracts. So how does the efficiency S. L. A. Work. And what does it mean for you? Well, when we talk about storage energy efficiency, we ultimately boil things down to watts per tiba bite.
02:22
For example, if you have an array that draws 1000 watts and holds 100 terabytes, well then you'd be drawing 10 watts per tiba bite. And for any new evergreen one block contract that meets a minimum reserve commitment, peer storage will provide an energy efficiency S. L. A. Forever green one block capacity that S. L.
02:42
A. Is two watts per tipo bite. Block performance is three watts per tipo bite block premium for watts per terabyte and block Ultra, which offers blazing fast performance is at seven watts per tipo bite. And if you're striving for energy efficiency, then these numbers are music to your ears because now you're holding pure storage accountable for providing ultra efficient
03:05
storage. Yeah, we've got your back. So how do we measure these metrics for the S. L. A. Well, these are based on a daily average of actual power consumed over either the reserve commitment plus 25% buffer or the total estimated effective use capacity for the license system, which everyone is greater.
03:25
Now you're probably wondering what happens if this S. L. A. Isn't met Well, a couple of things first you'll get a service credit based on the number of days the S. L. A. Target was missed. Secondly, Pierre will work with you to resolve the issue through things such as better
03:40
resource utilization or consolidation and for more information on this S. L. A. And everything else we offer with evergreen one. Check out the links below so that's going to wrap things up for today and until I see in the next episode. Stay here.
