How Evergreen//One Storage Subscriptions Protect Your IT Budget from Tariffs and Price Spikes

In an era of ongoing economic pressure and evolving trade policies, Pure Storage is here to help you stay in control. Recent and potential U.S. tariffs on imported technology hardware are a powerful reminder that the economic landscape can shift quickly and without warning. For IT leaders, that translates into rising costs, tighter budgets, and tougher choices about when and how to invest in infrastructure.

While traditional storage hardware purchases may be exposed to price volatility and tariff-related cost increases, there is a more predictable path forward. Pure Storage Evergreen//One™, our storage-as-a-service (STaaS) offering, gives you predictable, subscription-based costs with no surprises, no hidden risks, and no need to rebuy hardware when prices spike—just flexible consumption and freedom from large upfront capital investments.

When uncertainty is the new normal, your storage infrastructure should be anything but. Pure Storage® Evergreen//One™ delivers financial predictability, cost stability, and continuous modernization so you can focus on innovation instead of reacting to market swings.

Why the Evergreen Model Is ‘Economy-proof’

No organization wants to face big purchasing decisions or renegotiations during uncertain economic times. Evergreen//One de-risks IT environments, providing exceptional financial predictability and flexibility that enables organizations to manage cash flow more effectively and avoid large, unpredictable capital outlays during economic downturns.

With recent announcements of tariff-related price hikes on product purchases, you can count on Pure Storage to not increase prices on our best in class service offering Evergreen//One related to tariffs. This provides you with a stable, known cost structure you can count on.

As-a-service Stability during Supply Chain Instability

Unlike traditional storage models that require significant upfront investments and, later, complete system replacements and upgrade cycles, Evergreen® reduces exposure to supply chain issues by eliminating the need for frequent complete system replacements. With the Evergreen//One storage-as-a-service model, Pure Storage delivers continuous upgrades and expansions, meaning customers can avoid rebuy cycles that leave them vulnerable during economic downturns.

Start with an initial investment, and the deployed system will grow non-disruptively as needed, adapting to changing requirements without the risk of overprovisioning or underutilization.
