Pure Storage’s portfolio enables EV Group to reduce storage management and maintenance time by 90% and reduce energy consumption by 85%
Pure Storage, the IT pioneer that delivers the world’s most advanced data storage technology and services, announced that EV Group (EVG), a leading provider of production systems and process solutions for wafer processing in the semiconductor industry, microsystems technology and nanotechnology, has selected the Pure Storage portfolio – including Pure Storage FlashArray™, Evergreen//Forever™ and Pure1® – to bring new solutions to market faster and compete on a global scale.
Customer Challenge
Since its inception in 1980, EVG has been dedicated to the development of state-of-the-art, high-quality manufacturing systems for high-volume production. The company has shaped the industry by working with nearly every major semiconductor and microelectromechanical system (MEMS) manufacturer.
With increasing demand for semiconductor technologies, EVG recognized the need to bring new, differentiated solutions to market faster. The aim is to achieve continuous growth and a leading position in the industry.
To support its storage infrastructure efforts, the company turned to Pure Storage. Pure enables EVG to provide greater capacity to handle growing data volumes, easily scale storage on demand, increase overall data performance and security, and reduce maintenance. A reduction in power consumption also offers protection against rising energy costs.

Customer Impact
Implementing Pure Storage solutions has enabled EVG to continue to drive global growth and gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace with a flexible, scalable storage infrastructure. The benefits that Pure Storage offers to EVG include:
- Increased Energy Efficiency and Sustainability: Pure Storage FlashArray uses only 15 percent of the energy compared to traditional storage, which is critical in an era of skyrocketing electricity costs. In addition to minimizing downtime, Pure Storage Evergreen//Forever subscription also minimizes e-waste, promoting sustainability in EVG’s IT environments.
- Intuitive storage management: Pure1, Pure Storage’s AI-driven management platform, is a powerful and simple tool that helps EVG manage its storage infrastructure. It reduces administrative time and allows EVG to focus on innovative, competitive new projects. Pure Storage supports 900 virtual machines (VMs) with higher performance. The time required for operation, maintenance and upgrades has been reduced by an incredible 90 percent.
- Integrated data protection: Due to the nature of EVG’s business, customers often pass on sensitive data when installing new machines. EVG implemented Pure Storage SafeMode Snapshots to ensure that this data is protected from theft or deletion and is always available.
