Case Study: Oneida Nation achieves faster application performance and radically simpler storage management with Pure Storage FlashArray

Oneida Nation gets increased application performance with Pure Storage

Oneida Nation, a federally recognized tribe serving 16,000 members across government, health, education and multiple business enterprises, had virtualized its server environment on VMware but found storage was becoming a performance and management bottleneck. End-user desktops and VDI showed lag, new applications demanded more capacity and SAN administration was time-consuming and costly.

The tribe deployed Pure Storage FlashArray all‑flash storage, which integrated easily with vSphere and required minimal administration. The result was immediate, noticeable performance gains for clinics, schools and VDI, radically simpler storage management (significant time savings), exceptional data reduction (roughly 10:1–12:1, up to 18:1), non‑disruptive controller upgrades and reduced future storage purchases.
