FlashArray//XL is said to provide a nearly 80% improvement in input/output operations per second, 100% more host connectivity, and twice the volume support on a single array.
The new array is designed for use with Pure Fusion to give Storage-as-Code access to cloud scale storage.
The storage density offered by FlashArray//XL enables workload consolidation on fewer arrays to simplify operations, reduce rack space requirements, and significantly reduce power consumption and cooling costs.

As usual, Pure offers the FlashArray//XL with an Evergreen subscription providing a right-size guarantee and non-disruptive upgrades and capacity expansions as needed.
Headline specifications include up to 5.78 PB effective capacity, latency as low as 150µs, up to 36GBps throughput, 5:1 average data reduction, and 99.9999% availability.
“Customers expect a new, modern way to scale enterprise storage. FlashArray//XL is a clear shot across the bow of legacy storage vendors by combining high-end scale of a true enterprise-class array with the scale-out agility of the cloud operating model,” said Pure Storage FlashArray vice president and general manager Shawn Hansen.
