Pure Storage : Concha y Toro Combines Tradition with Technology to Revolutionize Winemaking

Mountain View, Calif. - March 31, 2021 - Pure Storage (NYSE: PSTG), the IT pioneer that delivers storage as a service in a multi-cloud world, has announced it is enabling Concha Y Toro by providing the speed, simplicity and support required for its modern winemaking process, fueling growth into new markets. Known for brands such as Casillero del Diablo and Don Melchor, Concha y Toro operates in over 140 countries making it one of the biggest wine companies in the world.

The company's winemaking process is rooted in 150 years of tradition, and has evolved to utilise best-in-class technology. This includes automation in its irrigation system to control humidity and temperature of grapes in the field, IoT sensors in its wine vats to monitor the fermentation process, and experimental projects such as drone-captured video analysis of grapevine health. On the back office side, the company has implemented Robotic Process Automation (RPA) to improve the speed and efficiency of accounting and admin tasks. All of this innovation contributes to a high quality product reaching new consumers worldwide everyday.

To achieve this, Concha y Toro constantly evaluates its underpinning technology. After experiencing bottlenecking by its previous cloud-based storage solution, the team decided to upgrade. Following a comprehensive evaluation of solutions from several vendors, the company chose Pure. Since then, Pure's solutions have provided 100% availability, serving as the foundational infrastructure powering the winemaker's IT applications and projects, taking snapshots every five-minutes to protect against cyber attacks and data loss.
