EverPUG?
Let's get the elephant in the room cleared up first. PUGS are staying PUGS. Now with that out of the way, let's move onto what this post really is for. With the rebrand to Everpure, we have the opportunity to create distinct visual identities for PUG chapters. To ensure this is a truly community-driven process, we are requesting community members (YOU & your peers) create a mood board for your chapter. So....lay it on us. Your funniest, snarkiest, most professional, most IT-Related ideas for what our new spiffy PUG logo should be. I'm told that it will become a "mood board." I'm not sure what that means and I generally would think it a dangerous thing to publicly display the mood of a bunch of IT folks. But the designers have asked, so in the words of the Special Man, "Let 'em have it." -t Don't know the Special Man?

Let's get the elephant in the room cleared up first. PUGS are staying PUGS. Now with that out of the way, let's move onto what this post really is for. With the rebrand to Everpure, we have the opportunity to create distinct visual identities for PUG chapters. To ensure this is a truly community-driven process, we are requesting community members (YOU & your peers) create a mood board for your chapter. Here's the steps for doing this: Request Input: Each chapter leader will be creating a post on your chapter's group discussion board requesting mood board inputs. These inputs must be received by April 30th, 2026 to be considered. If your chapter has not provided any inputs by the deadline, you will not receive a custom logo. Research & Discussion within the chapter: Post in the discussion thread any inspiration you think should be included in the mood board. Conversation on the inclusion or exclusion of any elements is encouraged! Group consensus will govern what goes on the moodboards. Mood board creation: I will add all elements agreed on by each chapter to the mood board the first week of May. Approval: Mood boards will be sent back to each chapter for approval. (May 11-15) Design: Moodboard will be submitted to the Brand team for design work. Reveal: New logos will be released this summer! Please review the attached PDF for further details and examples. I hope you all are as excited about this as I am! Let me know if you have any questions. -Bri
Why Cyber Resilience Requires Recovery Not Just Backups: CISO and Field Perspectives
15 Minutes---Webinar from Everpure's Rick Orloff, CISO, and Scott Taylor, Director of Cyber Resilience Field Solution Architects on Cyber Recovery Strategy Resilience isn't just prevention—it’s about the "Minimum Viable Business." At RSAC 2026, Everpure’s Rick Orloff and Scott Taylor explained why recovery fails without understanding dependencies. Prioritize critical data and cross-functional collaboration to minimize revenue disruption. Stop treating backup as the goal; make rapid, strategic recovery your mission.

GA: What's new in Purity//FA 6.10.5
We're excited to announce that the latest Purity//FA release is now GA! With the latest Purity//FA 6.10.5 release, customers get a tighter combination of performance, protection, and access control across their FlashArray estate. By combining ActiveCluster™ with near‑synchronous ActiveDR™, the platform now delivers a three‑site resilience capability that can help meet compliance expectations. You get zero‑RPO protection between two primary sites with ActiveCluster, replicating to a third site with ActiveDR. It’s engineered to deliver sub‑30‑second RPO and sub‑minute RTO. At the same time, support for FlashArray//ST™ R5 is here as part of the FlashArray family. It’s optimized to deliver consistent ultra low‑latency performance for OLTP, in‑memory, and real‑time workloads. Take advantage of extreme performance while maintaining consistent enterprise-grade data services. Support for NVMe/TCP with VMware 9.x and ActiveCluster means the most demanding VMware workloads don’t have to choose between performance and resilience. ActiveCluster provides zero-RPO protection, automatic failover, and active-active access for stretched datastores across NVMe/TCP. Rounding it out, Everpure Fusion now supports SAML 2.0 SSO, giving you a faster, simpler, and secure authentication experience across the Everpure Platform. Replace legacy local/LDAP logins with MFA‑backed SSO and IP‑based controls that harden your perimeter without adding operational friction while accessing FlashArray, FlashBlade, and Everpure Fusion fleets. Update to Purity//FlashArray 6.10.5 to leverage these latest innovations. Want to learn what else is new?

A key workflow item, especially when building Isolated Recovery Environments (IRE), Clean Rooms, test or production Disaster Recovery, or any other environment personality, is to reconfigure the network. Doing so automatically and per a plan is important to an automated, fast, and predictable workflow. We have built Everpure Protect Tools, which is a lightweight tool, registered with VMtools within a guest, that allows us to automate network configuration changes, per the individual Recovery Plan. Included in the download is a Powershell script for Windows, or a Shell script for Linux/Unix, which registered our tool with VMtools to perform the changes. The scripts can be loaded and ran manually in each guest, or distributed and executed as part of a workflow such as Microsoft MCM/SCCM. Everpure Protect Tools Once deployed, network changes on a per-VM or per-Recovery Plan basis will be automatically performed based upon the unique settings in the Recovery Plan being executed.Portworx Backup 2.11.0 release is now Generally Available!
We are excited to announce that Portworx Backup 2.11.0 is now Generally Available! This release focuses on super-charging restore capabilities within PX-Backup. Now you can backup & restore just a K8s namespace, just a K8s resource, just a KubeVirt VM, and just a file or directory for a VM! Here are the key updates and features introduced in this release: Structured Kubernetes Resource Layout for Backups: Improves scalability and resiliency for large backups and enables partial/selective restores. Backup resources are now organized using a structured layout to improve scalability and reliability in large Kubernetes and VM environments. This reduces memory consumption during backup operations, improves resilience during network interruptions, and lays the groundwork for partial backups and selective resource restores. Granular Namespace and Resource Restores: Restore specific namespaces or individual resources with flexible mapping across clusters, StorageClasses, and Rancher projects. You can now selectively restore individual namespaces or even specific resources within a namespace backup, instead of performing a full restore every time. This gives teams much finer control over recovery workflows across same-cluster or cross-cluster restores. File and Folder Restore for Virtual Machines: Recover individual files/folders back to the same VM without a full VM restore. Portworx Backup 2.11.0 now supports restoring specific files or folders directly back to the same VM, enabling granular VM recovery without requiring a full VM restore. This rolls out starting with support for popular Linux VMs. Editable Label Selectors and Resource Filters: Adjust which namespaces, VMs, and resources are protected by existing schedules without recreating them. Namespace and VM label selectors can now be edited on existing as well as new backup schedules through the UI, CLI, API, or Ansible, making it much easier to adjust backup scope without recreating schedules. VRO Policy Configuration from the Web Console: Volume Resource-Only (VRO) policy configuration was introduced as a programmatic capability in v2.9.0 and is now completely integrated into our UI experience. VRO policy configuration is now available directly from the Portworx Backup web console, making it easier to back up only Kubernetes volume resource specifications (such as PVCs and PVs) without including the underlying volume data. These aren't the only changes in 2.11.0; this release includes many improvements including to VM restore workflows, resource filters for existing schedules, Cloud Settings UI experience, and image pull behavior in air-gapped environments.
