to other all-flash arrays
Pure Storage FlashArray//RC20 offers enterprise-class performance, reliability,
and agility at capacities and prices that are more accessible for edge use cases
and smaller deployments. It brings all the power and capability of the Pure
Storage platform and the FlashArray//C™ family to a model that’s specifically
sized and priced to support lower-capacity deployments. And unlike other
“entry-level” systems, FlashArray//RC20 can be non-disruptively upgraded to
higher models in the FlashArray//C family with next-generation controllers to
grow as you need in the future, all without planned downtime. This promise is
backed with a proven track record of over 30,000 upgrades across over 3,000
customers at a 97% success rate, ensuring an investment today will continue to
provide value in the future. This is a unique benefit of the Pure Storage platform
and unmatched by any other vendor in the industry.
*Effective capacity assumes HA, RAID, and metadata overhead, GB-to-GiB conversion, and includes the benefit of data reduction with always-on inline deduplication, compression, and pattern removal. Average data reduction is calculated at 5-to-1 and does not include thin provisioning.”

FIGURE 1 FlashArray//C Family raw capacity, with the scalability of the Pure Storage Platform
The FlashArray//C family is ideal for business critical workloads with latency requirements less than or equal to 3ms,
including virtualization, unified block and file, fast backup and restore, dev/test, cyber resilience & business continuity,
and data protection. The FlashArray//RC20 serves as an attractive entry point for smaller deployments, but with the same
scalability and consistent performance characteristics. Best of all, its value represents the perfect blend of TCO and benefit
without sacrificing capability or reliability.
Cyber Resiliency Comes Included
Downtime and data loss can devastate any business regardless of size, and no matter where your data is deployed.
Pure Storage offers a suite of cyber resilient solutions ranging from AI-powered assessments to non-synchronous replication
and zero-trust indelibility. Unlike competitive products, critical features like SafeMode™ Snapshots are enabled by default,
requiring opt-out simplifying the configuration process. SafeMode provides a series of policies to secure data including an
eradication timer to protect data from deletion for a specified time period. SafeMode indelible and immutable snapshots can
not be changed, deleted, or destroyed even if admin credentials are compromised.
Customers can also run AI-powered security assessments within Pure1®, allowing you to assess your entire fleet and then
provide recommendations to improve resiliency. These capabilities are beneficial for both large and small environments and
provide critical functionality without introducing additional steps or complexity. All of these features are available for every
FlashArray, including FlashArray//RC20—regardless of capacity.
Experience of the Pure Storage Platform
As an extension of the FlashArray family, FlashArray//RC20 has all unique benefits of the Pure Storage Platform, such
as scalable simplicity and flexibility, unmatched power and space efficiency, in-place non-disruptive upgrades, and
built-in cybersecurity and resiliency. Our support organization has an industry-leading NPS of 82 and is here to support
our customers, regardless of scale.

FIGURE 2 The Pure Storage platform
With the power of the Pure Storage platform and FlashArray//RC20, businesses of all sizes no longer have to compromise on
upgradability and capability to meet their capacity and price requirements. The FlashArray//RC20 shares the same Evergreen®
architecture as the rest of the FlashArray family and integrates easily into the unified infrastructure. This allows immediate and
easy expansion to those remote deployments or bringing your single system online within minutes.
