Accelerating Innovation and Revenue Growth
We will work in close partnership with your senior leadership and network engineering teams to accelerate your transition to a next generation telco operator, defined by cloud-native network services, innovative software-defined models, offerings, and subscription services to help you drive margins and revenue growth in a software-defined future. Pure Storage supports multiple telecom use cases.
5G Network Data Storage
High-performance, ultra-reliable all-flash storage forms the backbone for your 5G network designs. Pure Storage FlashArray™ is the ideal platform for both VNFs and CNFs across platforms like OpenStack or Kubernetes. Pure has successfully replaced CEPH at major telecom carriers, dramatically increasing responsiveness, reliability and decreasing maintenance overhead.
Simplified Operations
Only Pure Storage provides a unified platform across block, file and object workloads. With a single Purity operating system and management tool, the AI-powered Pure1®, Pure simplifies operations. API-first design complements your automation frameworks. Pure Fusion™ redefines fleet management with automated workload placement, workload mobility, self-service and multi-tenancy. OpenStack users benefit from industry leading integration and ease of use.
Open RAN
As operators transition to open RAN (ORAN) networks, they require dense, ultra-reliable storage to maintain the VNFs and CNFs that deliver ORAN services, including those from third-party vendors, such as Ericsson, Nokia, Samsung, and others. In addition, storage is needed for configuration and policy data, telemetry and more. By using Pure Storage, operators have a storage platform robust enough to allow additional analytics or AI workloads to make use of the ORAN data.
Disk Replacement
Telco carriers have vast estates of spinning disk running a wide range of workloads: call center data, file and video archives, backups, CDRs and billing records, etc. These systems are power hungry, consume huge amounts of data center space, and need continual maintenance and disk replacements. The Pure//E™ family of appliances offer all-flash storage at the price of disk, while dramatically reducing power, space, cooling and maintenance.
AI and Analytics
Telcos are in the data business, and that data drives analytics and, increasingly, artificial intelligence. The use cases are many: customer service, network operations, sales, and marketing, etc. But legacy storage platforms are not optimized for the complex storage requirements of these workloads. Pure Storage delivers the bandwidth, concurrency and ability to handle billions of files, large and small, that AI requires. Includes solutions certified with NVIDIA for BasePOD and SuperPOD.
Cloud Native Functions
CNFs are the future of telecom network functions, but many carriers struggle to transition to containerized applications. Portworx is the premier data management platform for Kubernetes, providing persistent storage and a wealth of telco-level functions, such as auto-scaling, data protection, failover, multi-tenancy, and more. All deliverable via code, giving developers self-service capabilities. Portworx is used by Comcast, KPN, T-Mobile, and other telecoms.
