As Pure’s first customer in Scotland, the Scottish Government ARE began its Pure Storage journey in 2015 with FlashArray™ in its primary data centre and now uses Portworx® as a key pillar of its application development strategy.

The ARE Directorate needed to improve its storage systems to support spikes in web traffic as the deadline for farmers to submit subsidy applications approached. In addition, the Directorate wanted to improve developer build times, meet regulatory requirements for data storage and resiliency, and support its long-term strategy for flexibility and sustainability.
