In this moment of economic pressure, we want you to know one thing: Pure Storage is here for you. The recent U.S. tariffs on imported technology hardware are a stark reminder that change is constant, and the economic landscape can shift without warning. For IT leaders, that means rising costs, tighter budgets, and tougher choices. 

While traditional storage hardware purchases could face substantial price increases, there’s a better way forward. Our unique storage-as-a-service offering gives you the confidence to move ahead with no surprises, no hidden risks, and no need to rebuy hardware when prices spike—just predictable costs, flexible consumption, and freedom from upfront investments.

When uncertainty is the new normal, your infrastructure should be anything but. Here’s how Pure Storage® Evergreen//One™ delivers predictability and peace of mind.

Why the Evergreen Model Is ‘Economy-proof’

No organization wants to face big purchasing decisions or renegotiations during uncertain economic times. Evergreen//One de-risks IT environments, providing exceptional financial predictability and flexibility that enables organizations to manage cash flow more effectively and avoid large, unpredictable capital outlays during economic downturns.

With recent announcements of tariff-related price hikes on product purchases, you can count on Pure Storage to not increase prices on our best in class service offering Evergreen//One related to tariffs. This provides you with a stable, known cost structure you can count on.

As-a-service Stability during Supply Chain Instability

Unlike traditional storage models that require significant upfront investments and, later, complete system replacements and upgrade cycles, Evergreen® reduces exposure to supply chain issues by eliminating the need for frequent complete system replacements. With the Evergreen//One storage-as-a-service model, Pure Storage delivers continuous upgrades and expansions, meaning customers can avoid rebuy cycles that leave them vulnerable during economic downturns.

Start with an initial investment, and the deployed system will grow non-disruptively as needed, adapting to changing requirements without the risk of overprovisioning or underutilization.
