Pure Storage, an IT pioneer that delivers data storage technologies and services, has announced that Adistec, a leading managed services provider (MSP) in Latin America and the Caribbean, is leveraging Pure Storage’s Evergreen//Flex subscription to deliver crucial value-added services to public and private sector organizations in Latin America.
Adistec’s managed services support Latin American businesses across industries on their cloud journeys with subscription-based IT bundles tailored to each customer’s needs. However, its existing data storage solution was causing outages, failing to properly support cloud services, and proved to be too slow and unreliable to efficiently manage client workloads. Additionally, with ransomware attacks on the rise in Latin America, rapid and secure data restore became a priority for Adistec in order to eliminate risk across its business.
Adistec adopted Pure Storage to help support customers on their cloud journey. With Pure Storage, Adistec gained competitive data storage consumption economics, improved data center efficiency and costs, and future-proofed data resiliency against outside threats. Benefits include:
- Reduced hardware costs up to 80% by scaling capacity as needed with Evergreen//Flex: Adistec can subscribe to the capacity it requires to match its customers’ evolving needs, minimizing its overall upfront investment. With less time spent managing hardware, Adistec’s front-line engineers can dedicate more energy to developing and refining its IT services.
- Improved data reduction and data center footprint: The performance and simplicity of Pure Storage have enhanced every Adistec service from VMware to backups. With Pure Storage, Adistec has achieved a data reduction rate of 3:1 and shrunk its total storage footprint by nearly 90% (from 24U to 3U), making it more cost-efficient and sustainable in a region with notoriously high energy prices. With Pure1 to simplify its storage management, Adistec can predict and scale capacity to match its customers’ variable workloads.
- Slashed data recovery time from weeks to minutes with immutable snapshots: MSPs must provide solid data protection and rapid recovery services to fight rising ransomware threats. Adistec leveraged Pure Storage’s ability to work within a multi-tenant data protection environment to improve its RPOs and RTOs. Using SafeMode Snapshots, the business creates regular backups of its clients’ mission-critical data, which it can recover within minutes instead of weeks.
Queberth Soto, Chief Technology Officer, Adistec, said: “Pure Storage Evergreen//Flex is a godsend for the MSP community, allowing us to grow with our customers while making their IT operations simple, secure and reliable. I’ve managed a lot of storage solutions in my career and Pure’s upgrade process is the fastest by a mile. Best of all, Pure’s upgrades are non-disruptive, giving me confidence that our services will continue to run with zero interruption for our customers.”
Wilson Grava, Vice President and General Manager Latin America, Pure Storage, said: “We’re thrilled to be able to support Adistec in its delivery of crucial IT services for Latin American organizations in the private and public sector. With more businesses in the region moving to the cloud, Adistec is in a unique position to help its customers on their journey by allowing them to migrate at their own pace while benefiting from the unparalleled flexibility, scalability and data protection that a Pure Storage Evergreen//Flex subscription can provide.”
