Pure Storage FlashArray//C20 R2 Mid-Range All-NVMe Array

The FlashArray//C20 R2 is a refreshed mid-range all-NVMe storage array that combines Pure Storage's DirectMemory architecture with modern NVMe technology to deliver sub-millisecond latencies and predictable performance for demanding workloads. The system features dual-controller active-active design with redundant paths, ensuring high availability and fault tolerance without performance degradation. Purpose-built for organizations requiring enterprise storage capabilities at accessible density and operational complexity levels, the C20 R2 targets small-to-medium enterprises and healthcare facilities where data center space and budget constraints demand efficient, purpose-built infrastructure.

The array leverages Pure Storage's Purity operating system to provide advanced data management including inline deduplication, compression, and snapshots without performance tax. The refreshed R2 model introduces enhanced controller specifications, expanded media options, and optimized power delivery to improve TCO metrics while maintaining compatibility with existing Pure Storage management frameworks. DirectMemory technology eliminates traditional SAN bottlenecks by mapping NVMe media directly to system memory, enabling consistent sub-1ms response times regardless of workload characteristics.

Designed for hybrid enterprise workloads including virtual machine acceleration, database transaction processing, and high-concurrency file serving, the FlashArray//C20 R2 consolidates multiple legacy tier-1 and tier-2 systems into a single compact appliance. The 2U form factor accommodates up to 24 NVMe drives, supporting raw capacities from 96TB to 384TB, while intelligent flash management extends effective capacity through industry-standard data reduction techniques.

Ideal for

• Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) and virtual machine consolidation with reduced boot/login storm latency
• Enterprise SQL Server and PostgreSQL databases requiring consistent sub-millisecond response times and high IOPS
• Hospital Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) repositories serving radiologists with instant image retrieval
• High-frequency trading and financial services analytics requiring microsecond-precision data access
• Medical research imaging processing and healthcare AI model training workflows
• SME e-commerce and SaaS platforms experiencing rapid growth in transactional volume
