Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A, D

The Evergreen//Forever program is Pure Storage's premium subscription offering, providing continuous upgrades and enhancements to ensure customers always have access to the latest technology. In contrast, Evergreen//Foundation is a lower-tier subscription with limited benefits. Here's an analysis of the features:

Correct Features:

A . Controller Upgrades :

Controller upgrades are a key feature of Evergreen//Forever, allowing customers to upgrade their FlashArray controllers non-disruptively to newer generations.

This feature is not included in Evergreen//Foundation.

D . Upgrade Always :

'Upgrade Always' ensures that customers can continuously upgrade their hardware and software without additional costs.

This is a hallmark of Evergreen//Forever and is not available in Evergreen//Foundation.

Incorrect Features:

B . Pro Deployment :

Pro Deployment services are available across all Evergreen tiers, including Evergreen//Foundation.

Therefore, this is not specific to Evergreen//Forever.

C . Capacity Consolidation :

Capacity consolidation is a general benefit of Pure Storage arrays and is not exclusive to Evergreen//Forever.

It is also available in Evergreen//Foundation.

Final Recommendation:

The correct answers are A. Controller Upgrades and D. Upgrade Always , as these are specific to Evergreen//Forever and not included in Evergreen//Foundation.

I remember we had a similar question in our last mock exam, and I think "Upgrade Always" was one of the features that stood out for Evergreen//Forever.

I’m pretty certain that "Controller Upgrades" is included in both programs, but I can't recall if "Capacity Consolidation" is exclusive to one of them.

I feel like "Pro Deployment" might be specific to the Evergreen//Forever Program too, but I could be mixing it up with something else we practiced.

Haha, the Evergreen//Forever program sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie. I'm gonna go with C) Capacity Consolidation and D) Upgrade Always - they just sound too futuristic to be part of the regular Evergreen//Foundation.
