Introduction

Leading fintech and payments company Fiserv is consistently recognized by Fortune as one of the World’s Most Admired Companies. Trusted by consumers, financial institutions, and businesses of all sizes, Fiserv powers a vast range of financial transactions. Fiserv selected the Pure Storage platform to support its growing data environment. Pure Storage® FlashArray™ and FlashBlade® support mission-critical workloads and can scale seamlessly, while Portworx® supports a future containerization strategy. Fiserv replaced three full racks of legacy storage with just 5U of Pure Storage, resulting in space savings of 75%. A smaller footprint reduces data centre power and cooling emissions, as well as associated costs. The Pure Storage platform also helps to minimize e-waste.

“The unparallelled performance and reliability of Pure’s platform was convincing, and how it supported our sustainability initiatives really won over our team.”

Steve Allgeier

Vice President of the Distributed Infrastructure Group, Fiserv
