So one of the best benefits of the Pure Storage platform that we have now that we did not have before was the non-disruptive upgrades. The original five members of Dupaco started it with five dollars each. They wanted to create an institution that put the member first. Dupaco Community Credit Union is a three and a half billion dollar credit union that serves
00:24
hundred and seventy-eight thousand members in the states of Iowa, Wisconsin, and Illinois. We look at our members as family. I mean, I, I work there, but I've been a member since I was alive. I actually have, like, 19 family members that work throughout Dupaco, in its different pieces.

Believe it or not, the CIO is my older brother. We run a very lean IT department. Everything that we do is based on data. We seem to be piling on data after data after data. The platform that we moved from just didn't have the, the low latency that we needed.
00:56
The deduplication and compression didn't meet our needs, and Pure has been a game changer for us. The low latency that we are able to get out of our FlashArrays really complement the SQL Server reporting that we do. Our core financial system Everpure night has to have three backups made. It has gone from six to eight hours down to three or less.
01:14
The speed of the platform really makes that possible. And the deduplication and compression rates, we definitely did not see with any other vendor, the same rates that we get with Pure. The experience with the Evergreen//Forever has been awesome. I would say our total cost of ownership has gone down dramatically compared to the other
01:33
platforms that we were on. So one of the best benefits of the Pure Storage platform that we have now that we did not have before was the non-disruptive upgrades. We just go into the data center in the afternoon and start the process, and it takes roughly an hour, hour and a half, and then after that, we have, you know, a FlashArray.
01:52
The experience is phenomenal. The FlashArray allows us to do some agile things, so it really, it's been a huge increase in our productivity on that front. We want our members to go home and feel that their financial institution is safe, sound, secure, and we like to think that we're able to do that, especially on
