About the Pure Storage FlashArray//XL170
The Pure Storage FlashArray//XL170 is a high-capacity NVMe-based storage array designed for the largest enterprise consolidation and mission-critical database workloads. Built on Pure's DirectFlash architecture, the XL170 delivers exceptional performance density with support for up to 10.8 PB of effective capacity per 2U form factor, enabling significant datacenter footprint reduction while maintaining sub-millisecond latencies across demanding workloads.
The array employs Pure's Purity Operating Environment to provide advanced data services including inline deduplication, compression, snapshots, and replication. The XL170 architecture supports non-disruptive upgrades, live code updates, and native multi-tenancy through Pure1 management, making it suitable for enterprises consolidating heterogeneous storage environments or scaling database platforms without operational disruption.
Optimized for high-frequency trading platforms, large-scale ERP systems, data warehousing, and analytics infrastructure, the XL170 addresses the performance and capacity requirements of enterprise datacenters undertaking major technology refreshes. The system supports both Fibre Channel and Ethernet connectivity options for flexible integration into existing SAN and NAS environments.
Ideal for
- Large-scale Oracle, SQL Server, and SAP HANA database consolidation with reduced storage footprint
- High-frequency trading and financial analytics platforms requiring ultra-low latency and extreme throughput
- Enterprise datawarehouse and big data platforms consolidating multiple legacy storage systems
- Virtualization infrastructure supporting thousands of VMs with demanding I/O patterns
- Medical imaging and diagnostics platforms requiring rapid access to multi-petabyte datasets
- AI/ML training environments with high sequential and random I/O requirements across large feature sets
