The Client’s Challenge

The state’s Office of Technology (IOT) needed to reduce administrative tasks and enhance their digital transformation. They also required an improved data protection strategy, accelerated log analytics, and enhanced security and compliance capabilities. 

AHEAD’s Solution

AHEAD implemented 3 PiB of Pure’s Evergreen//One utilizing FlashArray//X, FlashArray//XL, and FlashBlade across two data centers. This included providing 30 days of SafeMode retention against ransomware threats and Pure’s CyberRecovery and Resiliency SLA. 

The implementation led to a 50% reduction in administrative tasks, 70% less time spent on maintenance, millions saved in hardware, software, and maintenance costs, and a 66% smaller flash storage data center footprint.
