Case Study: AGR achieves 33% faster processing and 3x data transfer speeds with Pure Storage FlashArray//M20

AGR Finds Predictability in a Volatile Industry with Pure Storage

AGR is a global well construction, reservoir and field management services company headquartered in Norway that supports clients across six continents. Facing aging NetApp hybrid storage, AGR experienced slow, unpredictable performance that became a business bottleneck — limiting new application deployment and straining a small IT team that needed greater cost predictability and efficiency.

After a successful proof of concept with channel partner Seric, AGR deployed a Pure Storage FlashArray//M20 in a single-day, zero‑downtime install. The all‑flash array now runs virtualization, reservoir management and office workloads from one rack, delivering 33% faster processing, 3× faster data transfers, significant deduplication savings, reduced rack space (10U to 3U), lower maintenance and predictable performance that enabled new virtualised applications and improved staff productivity.
