Pure Storage as part of the solution to the challenges faced by large institutions
As part of the Pure Accelerate 2023 event in Madrid, there was a closed press session with two Pure Storage clients. They spoke at length about how their services allow them to operate in the face of technological challenges. These clients were Félix Hernánz Beltrán, colonel of the Army of the Spanish Ministry of Defense; and Valentín García Souto, innovation director of Lantik, Technology and Innovation Society of the Provincial Council of Bizkaia.
Félix Hernanz Beltrán commented on how he commands the Army's systems testing and validation center. There, a large storage capacity is necessary due to the growing amount of data that is generated, with more than 35 GB of data per day that must be organized and protected. There are three legs to its current technological agenda. The first is "the force“, so there is a brigade that tests the systems. There are also the programs, which include a combat cloud and drones to provide 5G coverage. Finally, there is the logistics to store all the data that is generated, with a logistics base designed to make predictive logistics. The third leg that he mentioned is that of an efficient digital transformation, so that legacy systems cannot be allowed to slow down development or operations.
Valentín García Souto explained that, given the needs of a regional community, Lantik applied as the first public technology society in the state. It is one of the few that has centralized all public sector technology, so that they provide services to the Provincial Council, the Parliament and almost all the town councils of Bizkaia, except Bilbao. They have data repositories from the institutions, and a comprehensive treasury. By not having legacy devices and not working with a host, they have saved a large amount of legacy money that has allowed them to carry out innovation projects. This year they have united the billing devices, so that for each invoice that is made, the regional agency knows about them for the taxation of each quarter. They also monitor people in need so that they can be at home and not be referred to a residence, which ends up saving a large amount of money for the public coffers. With all these needs, they commented that this is what has made them trust Pure Storage, because if there is a system outage, no matter how small, the problems that are generated are almost incalculable.
