Case Study: Acindar achieves real-time reporting and sub‑millisecond performance with Pure Storage FlashArray//M20

Using FlashArray to Acquire Business Information

Acindar, a 76‑year‑old, market‑leading Argentine steel producer and part of the ArcelorMittal Group, needed a technological leap to boost production efficiency. Its legacy storage was reaching end‑of‑life, was hard to manage, and couldn’t scale to support more SSDs or the IOPS and low latency required for real‑time production reporting.

Acindar deployed Pure Storage FlashArray//M20, gaining a 10 TB raw system with 3.5:1 data reduction (35 TB effective), 8,500 IOPS and sub‑millisecond latency (0.36 ms). The result: production reports dropped from ~20+ minutes to 1 minute, consolidated critical systems, dramatically simplified storage management via Pure1, reduced rack space and power use, and freed IT to focus on higher‑value projects.
