Our take
Named one of the top 50 Hottest Edge Hardware, Software, and Services Companies of 2022, Pure Storage is a data storage company that helps tech and software businesses leverage the continuous innovations of AI and machine learning through its storage solutions. From Roblox to NASA, many of Pure Storage’s customers are leaders in their fields.
After seeing rapid revenue growth in the early 2010s despite overall losses, Pure Storage’s 2015 IPO benefitted the company over the next half-decade, spreading losses with public trade. The risk especially paid off when many companies migrated to cloud services in the 2020s.
As data centers flew into the crosshairs of sustainable energy efforts, Pure Storage has remained on the right side of publicity through its Evergreen // One portfolio, a flexible consumption-based storage model for providers. In January 2023, Pure Storage reported continued subscription growth for this model and should continue on track as its hefty and influential client list evolves to meet sustainability goals.
