Case Study: Red Lobster achieves 24x7 business continuity with Pure Storage Everpure

Red Lobster secures 100% uptime across 545+ locations with Pure Storage

Red Lobster, America's largest seafood restaurant company, faced a challenge with its complex legacy IT systems that lacked the resilience needed for 24x7 operations across its 545+ locations. CIO Shawn Harrs needed to modernize their technology to protect their billion-dollar seafood supply chain from costly disruptions. They partnered with Pure Storage and implemented the Evergreen//One subscription and FlashArray//X to create a reliable backbone for their mission-critical systems.

The Pure Storage solution provided a high-performance, hybrid-cloud infrastructure that eliminated data interruptions and ensured 100% uptime for critical restaurant operations. This enabled real-time business optimization and secured the perishable supply chain. As a result, Red Lobster achieved zero major interruptions since implementation, protecting millions in inventory and enabling future digital innovation.
