Case Study: San Francisco Giants achieve effortless, high-performance data scaling with Pure Storage

San Francisco Giants - Customer Case Study

The San Francisco Giants, a Major League Baseball franchise, were overwhelmed by an exponential surge in data—driven largely by MLB’s Statcast tracking—while their legacy hard-disk storage became complex to manage and caused slow application response times that hindered analytics and operations.

By deploying Pure Storage’s FlashArray, the Giants had a fast, two-hour rollout that now hosts all SQL-backed production data and applications. The solution delivered dramatic performance gains, near-zero day-to-day storage management via Pure1, high data compression that cut footprint, and freed IT to focus on higher‑value work—enabling timely player and business analytics and an improved fan experience.
