Scottish Government Keeps Rural Economy Thriving

With a mandate to promote sustainable economic growth in agriculture, the food industry, and rural communities, the Scottish Government ARE directorate adopted a culture of innovation. To improve the performance of its current applications and support innovation for the future, the directorate chose Portworx by Pure Storage. The directorate now has a sustainable foundation for both its constituents and developers.

The ARE Directorate needed to improve its storage systems to support spikes in web traffic as the deadline for farmers to submit subsidy applications approached. In addition, the Directorate wanted to improve developer build times, meet regulatory requirements for data storage and resiliency, and support its long-term strategy for flexibility and sustainability.
