The City of Pueblo encountered an app-data gap with its legacy storage infrastructure that was negatively impacting application performance and response times. In an effort to close the app-data gap, the IT team researched 11 storage vendors with offerings encompassing hybrid and all flash storage systems. As a result of its evaluation, the City initially tested the Nimble CS500 Adaptive Flash array alongside products from Pure Storage and Tegile, but ultimately selected an AF5000 All Flash array to address its primary storage requirements.
