Proxmox VE
Hi all Hope you're all having a great day. We have several customers going down the Proxmox VE road. One of my colleagues was put onto https://github.com/kolesa-team/pve-purestorage-plugin as a possible solution (as using Pure behind Proxmox (using the native Proxmox release) is not a particularly Pure-like experience. Could someone from Pure comment on the plugin's validity/supportability?Proxmox VE + Everpure FlashArray: Official Partnership Announced!
Hey everyone! As more organizations evaluate open-source virtualization, we’ve formally joined forces with Proxmox under the Everpure Technology Alliance Partner program. We’ve listened to your feedback and now offer validated and documented production-ready setups for running Proxmox VE on FlashArray™. What’s supported and available today: Shared Storage Transports: Full connection guides and best practices for FC, iSCSI, NVMe/TCP, and NFS through FlashArray File Services. Live Migration & HA: Shared storage volumes allow VMs and LXC containers to live-migrate across nodes with no data copying. ActiveCluster™ Stretched Resiliency: Synchronous replication with zero RPO and <3 minute RTO (including QDevice quorum & automatic fencing). Backup & Immutable Recovery: Full integration with Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) combined with SafeMode™ tamper-proof snapshots. What’s coming next: We’re actively engineering an array-aware Native Storage Plugin for Proxmox VE to bring array-offloaded snapshots, volume provisioning, and cloning directly into the Proxmox management experience. Read the full blog announcement here. Let us know what protocols you're running in your clusters or if you have questions on migration steps!Pure Report Podcast: Exploring 2nd Half Launch Announcements with Andrew Miller and Savas Nicolaides
New episode of the Pure Report is live! 🎧 I sat down with Andrew Miller and Savas Nicolaides, Sr. Principal Technology Strategists, to walk through the second half of the launch announcements from the London Accelerate event and how they build on the earlier Vegas updates within the Enterprise Data Cloud. A few highlights: ActiveCluster for file, Evergreen//One Overdrive and DeepReduce compression Fusion, MCP integration and Pure1 Configuration Advisor to fight policy drift Everpure Data Intelligence File Edition for data sovereignty and compliance The Enterprise Data Cloud Success Blueprint for tying projects to business outcomes ▶️ Watch the full episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MbfijlLVjA 🔗 Learn more: https://www.everpuredata.com/pure-launch-updates-releases.html Which of the second-half launch announcements matters most to your environment?

Once you experience standard-setting performance, theres simply no going back.
After about 10 monthes of helping organizations modernize their data infrastructure, one pattern consistently emerges: Every single customer who made the switch from traditional storage systems (such as NetApp, EMC, IBM, or Infinidat) to EverPure FlashArray stays with it for good. It honestly feels like a "marriage for life", but in the absolute best way possible: • Phenomenal Response Times that transform overall application and workload performance. • Unmatched Simplicity & Ease of Management that gives infrastructure teams hours of valuable time back. • Seamless Integration across virtualization platforms, databases, and backup ecosystems. When you deliver a solution that eliminates operational headaches and provides true peace of mind, customers don't just stay satisfied, they never want to settle for anything else. Wishing everyone a productive week ahead!Day 2 and beyond: the life of a SQL Server volume group on Everpure Cloud Azure Native
Provisioning is the easy part. You create a Volume Group, mount it to your Azure VM through the Everpure Cloud VM Extension, and SQL Server comes up on its new storage. The interesting questions come later. To show them, we’ll follow one example workload through its first few weeks. The scenario is made up and very simple, but the operations are real. Week one: “Can I get a copy of prod?” Our SQL Server VM has one Volume Group with three volumes: data, logs and tempdb. The app team wants to test a schema change against real data. Because whole Volume Groups can now be cloned, the entire database gets copied in one step, and the clone can be mounted straight to a separate test VM. A developer who only needs the data volume can clone just that one instead. Two things to know: clones stay in the same Storage Pool, so plan VNet, zone and region placement first, and a new clone takes a few minutes to become available. Week two: “We’re running out of space.” The data volume is filling up faster than planned. Growing it is a quick edit of provisioned capacity in the Azure portal. Capacity can only go up, though, so size with intent, and remember to extend the disk and filesystem inside the guest OS afterwards. If the real complaint is speed rather than space, that’s a Volume Group performance change, because capacity and performance are separate in Everpure Cloud Azure Native. Week three: “Someone deleted the wrong thing.” During cleanup, someone removes the wrong volume. This is where the biggest change pays off: deletion now has two steps. A soft-deleted volume is kept as inactive for 3 days, so you filter the volume list for Status = Inactive and restore it. Whole Volume Groups work the same way, with their dependent resources coming back on restore, and Purge removes anything permanently once you’re sure. Still, unmount and check dependencies before deleting anything. The 3-day window is for genuine mistakes, not for skipping checks. Where snapshots fit in Clones copy what’s there now. Volume Group snapshots capture every volume at the same point in time, and protection policies keep taking them on a schedule. Either way, grouping volumes by application means every clone, snapshot and restore treats the database as one unit (in a storage consistent way). For step-by-step instructions, see the Volume and Volume Group Lifecycle documentation.
Old Tech Tuesday: The Sounds Lost to Time
Welcome back for another round of Old Tech Tuesday! This week, we'll focus on core memories unlocked by SOUND. Some technology sounds are permanently burned into our brains. TV static. The grinding of a floppy drive. The Windows 95 startup chime. What's an old technology sound you can still hear vividly in your head? For me it's a dial-up modem.
Purity//FA 6.12.4 FR is ready
