Evergreen//One
Why Choose Evergreen//One
The Evergreen//One storage subscription service is enabled by industry-leading, fieldproven FlashArray™, FlashBlade®, and Pure Cloud Block Store™ technologies, along with the corresponding validated design integrations FlashStack® and AIRI® (AI-ready infrastructure). This includes our Bare Metal as-a-Service, Powered by Pure solution. The guaranteed SLA-driven storage service improves how data is stored, mobilized, and protected. Pure Storage utilizes our Evergreen® extensible architecture to ensure all SLAs and commitments are continuously met. Performance, uptime, zero data loss, capacity, zero planned downtime, no data migration, energy efficiency, and ransomware recovery SLAs are all guaranteed.
How It Works
Evergreen//One offers a Reserve Commitment which is used throughout the life of the contract at a discounted rate. If you exceed your Reserve Commitment, you move into on-demand usage at the standard rate. On-demand usage eliminates the risk of either purchasing too much (over-provisioning) or too little (under-provisioning, re-buys, or staggered leases) storage. It also accounts for the unpredictable nature of multi-year sizing, seasonal workloads, and spikes. As your organization’s storage needs increase, Pure will proactively scale up your business’s infrastructure and capacity.

Pure Storage monitors the usage with the Pure1® AIOps cloud-based storage management platform. Pure automatically adds capacity when you exceed 80% of your allocation. Evergreen//One also maintains a 25% buffer over the effective used capacity or reserve commitment, up to 1PiB in increments of 100TiB. This ensures that there is always elastic and available capacity, so you never outgrow your storage. This headroom is maintained at no cost to you.
On-ramp to Hybrid Cloud
Most organizations today have a cloud and/or digital transformation initiative. Evergreen//One provides a first step to cloud enablement, as well as a viable alternative to public cloud for mission- and business-critical apps. Evergreen//One delivers a consistent hybrid-cloud experience, leveraging a single unified subscription across your on-premises data center, colocation/hosted facilities, and public cloud via Pure Cloud Block Store. Pure Cloud Block Store is software producing a fully functional virtualized FlashArray SAN that runs on public cloud resources.
When you subscribe to the on-premises block service, you receive a key for Pure Cloud Block Store, which provides data mobility across on-premises and cloud environments, so you can start your cloud journey in any location and move all or a portion of your data seamlessly. Once Pure Cloud Block Store and your public cloud instances are set up, you can manage your fleet with one set of storage management tools which includes the Pure1 management tool, orchestration, AI-based predictive support, and VM analytics.

Service Level Agreements
Evergreen//One is backed by guaranteed SLAs. Pure Storage is committed to obligations around:
The service monitors the environment and is held to a promised outcome for the storage service tier to which you’ve subscribed. If we don't meet the performance, buffer capacity, no data loss, or no data migration obligations, we offer remediation and service credits based on certain criteria if we fail to meet the SLAs.
When you subscribe to a given storage capacity, Pure guarantees that you will always have the service infrastructure necessary to write to your arrays. We also offer a zero planned downtime commitment and a 99.9999% uptime commitment for FlashArray as we don’t require a “planned maintenance” window.
To reduce energy consumption, Evergreen//One also includes a first-of-its-kind energy efficiency SLA that guarantees a maximum number of watts/TiB providing the cleanest storage technology on our planet. In addition, you have the option to mitigate risk with an add-on service that guarantees a clean storage environment following a ransomware attack with the shipping of clean storage arrays, documented recovery plan, rapid data transfer rate, and bundled professional services. New and existing customers can expect speed, simplicity, and security, at scale.
