Hi Jeff!
I don't have any onions, but I can offer some scallions. As a consultant
working for a backup vendor, I have encountered Pure several times and
all the customers that I know of are very happy. Pure is very fast and
very reliable. Administration interface is fairly intuitive and it
supports everything that other storage support.
