Factors to Note
Continued momentum in its subscription services, namely Pure as-a-Service subscription (includes Cloud Block Store), Portworx and Evergreen Storage, is likely to have boosted Pure Storage’s fiscal third-quarter performance.
Recently, the company rolled out updates for its Portworx portfolio to help enterprises simplify and accelerate Kubernetes adoption. Also, the introduction of Evergreen//Flex to further expand Pure’s Evergreen technology bodes well. The healthy adoption of Pure Fusion is likely to have favored the top-line performance.
The company is well-positioned to gain from the ongoing data explosion. The company is witnessing growing clout in FlashArray, FlashArray//C and FlashBlade, owing to their portability, efficiency and reliability over traditional storage systems. This, in turn, is likely to have boosted the top line in the to-be-reported quarter. The said storage systems provide customers with higher performance capabilities and enable them to run complex cloud workloads on a single platform.
Pure Storage continues to invest heavily in research and development to launch new products as well as enhance existing product lines. Earlier this year, it launched the improved FlashBlade//S solution powered by the company’s all-QLC modular architecture that delivers high levels of performance and capacity optimization without the need for caching solutions.
An expanded customer base (especially large enterprise clients) along with strength in commercial business bodes well. In the last reported quarter, Pure Storage added 350 new customers. The company’s customer base includes 56% of the Fortune 500 companies.
Strengthening of the U.S. dollar, widespread supply-chain disruptions, component shortages and related higher costs are likely to have exerted pressure on the margin performance. Higher expenses on product development amid stiff competition from other storage peers are added concerns.
