Everpure (Pure) Support & Maintenance

Pure Storage third-party support is hardware maintenance and technical assistance provided by independent companies outside of Pure Storage for FlashArray and FlashBlade systems. Third-party providers offer break/fix hardware support, parts replacement, on-site maintenance, and 24/7 SLA options for Pure Storage arrays without requiring Evergreen subscriptions.

Third-party providers support the complete FlashArray family including //M, //X, //XL, //C, //E models, and FlashBlade systems (original FlashBlade and FlashBlade //S/E). This includes older //M generations (//M10, //M20, //M50, //M70) that have reached EOSL between 2022-2024.

Yes, third-party providers can support FlashArray //M10/M20/M50/M70 models released between 2015-2017 that reached EOSL in 2022-2024. These older generations remain productive in many data centers, and third-party providers stock NVMe/SAS modules, controller boards, NVRAM cards, and PSUs specifically for //M models.

Common SLA options include Parts Only, 5×9 NBD (next business day), and 24×7×4 (24/7 with 4-hour on-site response). For FlashArray tier-1 workloads, 24×7×4 is typically recommended, while FlashBlade may suffice with 5×9 NBD depending on workload criticality.

Yes, third-party maintenance enables organizations to continue using Pure Storage systems years beyond manufacturer EOSL dates. This extends hardware investment and delays expensive refresh cycles, particularly for FlashArray //M models where Pure renewals are often no longer available.

Reputable third-party providers can deliver fixed-price quotes within 48 hours and offer single contracts covering your entire Pure Storage inventory.
