Perth's University of Western Australia (UWA), has partnered with Atturra to migrate its storage infrastructure to Pure Storage to support the launch of a new high-speed, high-performance data research network.
UWA is renowned for its excellence in research across diverse fields such as medical research, defence, and climate modelling, migrated to Pure Storage's all-flash solution to meet its growing data needs.
The university now leverages Pure Storage's Evergreen//One subscription service, which has enabled it to efficiently manage over six petabytes of research storage on a significantly reduced footprint.
"Switching to the Pure Storage platform with Evergreen//One has transformed our research environment, providing us with high-speed, resilient data storage that seamlessly integrates with our new high-speed research network," Phil Norris, senior manager of network and systems at UWA said.
The implementation has yielded significant results for UWA.
Its data centre footprint has been reduced from 2.5 rack units, to less than half a rack in the new facility the university uses.
Moreover, the new storage environment requires 80 per cent less power to operate and significantly less cooling compared to the legacy system, aligning with UWA's environmental, social, and governance (ESG) commitments.
Pure Storage's platform also enhances UWA's data protection capabilities through its SafeMode feature, which ensures data cannot be deleted and can be recovered at any point, providing robust defence against potential ransomware attacks.
