Veeam v13 Integration and Plugin
Hi Everyone, We're new Pure customers this year and have two Flasharray C models, one for virtual infrastructure and the other will be used solely as a storage repository to back up those virtual machines using Veeam Backup and Replication. Our plan is to move away from the current windows-based Veeam v12 in favor of Veeam v13 hardened Linux appliances. We're in the design phase now but have Veeam v13 working great in separate environment with VMware and HPE Nimble. Our question is around Pure Storage and Veeam v13 integration and Plugin support. Veeam's product team mentions there is native integrations in v12, but that storage vendors should be "adopting USAPI" going forward. Is this something that Pure is working on, or maybe already has completed with Veeam Backup and Replication v13?Purity//FB 4.8.8 FR has released
We are happy to announce the general availability of 4.8.8, the ninth Feature Release in the 4.8/4.9 line, reducing the effort of operating FlashBlade at scale, giving customers self-service upgrade control (even for dark array environments), greater effective capacity, and unified fleet automation and workload visibility to troubleshoot faster. See the release notes for all the details about the improvements included in this release.10152026 - TechTalk Recap: Awareness Won’t Save You, Recovery Will
We closed out Cyber Awareness Month with a direct message: awareness matters, but recovery is what keeps the business running when an attack lands. I was joined by Rick Orloff, CISO at Everpure, and Chris Brandt, Consulting Field Solutions Architect for Cybersecurity and Resilience, to discuss how AI is changing the threat landscape, why traditional disaster recovery plans fall short during cyber extortion, and what a resilient recovery architecture looks like in practice. What you missed: AI is shrinking the response window. The time between detection and damage can now be measured in seconds. Teams need controls and recovery processes that can move at machine speed. Disaster recovery is not the same as cyber recovery. In a cyberattack, the facility may be fine—but the compromised data can replicate from production to the DR site. A second copy is not enough if it is also infected. Build an isolated recovery environment. A protected copy needs separate identity and access controls, no path from production, and immutable snapshots that cannot be easily deleted by an attacker. Define your minimum viable business. If every workload is a priority, none of them is. Start by identifying tier-zero infrastructure, tier-one applications, and the business processes that must be restored first. Test the plan before the incident. Recovering one application in 15 minutes proves very little if hundreds need to come back and the network is unavailable. Practice at scale, reduce dependencies on a small group of people, and plan communications for an outage. The practical takeaway: a recovery strategy is only credible when it is isolated, prioritized, and proven through testing. The goal is not just to restore data—it is to restore the business.

PX-CSI 26.3 & Modern Virtualization: FlashArray/FlashBlade Depth, Platform Breadth, Governance
The Portworx CSI (PX-CSI) 26.3.0 release gives Kubernetes teams more flexibility in how they connect to storage. It deepens integration with Pure Storage FlashArray and FlashBlade, adds stronger controls over how capacity is provisioned and consumed, and extends platform support for edge and GPU-based workloads. What's new in 26.3.0 Flexibility in how workloads connect to storage Multiple storage protocols in a single Kubernetes cluster You can now run workloads over iSCSI, NVMe-TCP, or NVMe-RoCE in the same cluster. Each node and application can use the protocol that best fits its requirements, without redeploying the cluster. Arm support PX-CSI now runs on Arm-based Kubernetes hosts. This supports edge deployments and modern GPU-based workloads. Resilience and data protection ActiveCluster with Realms for SCSI PX-CSI supports synchronous replication across two FlashArrays with transparent failover. For supported multi-tenant environments, this enables continuous availability with zero RPO and zero RTO. FlashBlade snapshot restore to a new volume You can restore a FlashBlade snapshot into a new volume without affecting workloads on the source volume. This supports Kubernetes-native restore and backup workflows. Cross-array snapshot clone FlashArray volume snapshots can be replicated asynchronously to a connected target array. Use this for data mobility, remote backup, and KubeVirt CDI golden-image distribution. Governance and operational control Per-array volume creation control You can temporarily stop new volume provisioning on a FlashArray or FlashBlade for maintenance, while existing volumes stay online. In multi-array environments, new PVCs can be routed to other enabled arrays. FlashArray File PVC size enforcement PX-CSI now enforces the requested PVC capacity for FlashArray File managed directories using size-based quota policies. Workloads can't consume more storage than they requested. Multi-server support for FlashArray File Managed directories can be exported through a specified array server. This provides data and network isolation for enterprise and managed-service-provider environments. Getting started Generate a PX-CSI spec through PX Central. Follow the installation guide for new deployments, or the upgrade guide for existing ones. Review the feature-specific configuration and enablement guidance in the Portworx CSI documentation.

Trying something new out, join us?
Hi all! Briana from the community team here. adhill and nfritsch came to me over the summer with the idea to host a virtual PUG meetup. So we put our heads together and came up with the idea of hosting a virtual PUG all about the landscape of virtualization options and figuring out how to make a choice or make the most of the choice you've already made. We'll meet on zoom & use breakout rooms to have small group discussions on 7 different virtualization topics. Info & registration link can be found by clicking on this image ⬇️ We're hosting it in 2 week and will be sending you a DoorDash gift card to cover your lunch during it. If you're part of a local chapter an SE in your area will be hosting a happy hour later in the day. (So far, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and Columbus, OH have committed to this. Oh and you have to be at meetup to learn about the HH location & get swag.) We've brought in the Everpure experts on each of these options, and in some case they'll be interviewing customers who have already made the move. You'll have the chance to ask both of them your questions and get to know other Everpure customers that are making the same decision as you. What I'm asking is two things of you: 1) If you're interested, please register. This will help me know if it was a good idea to try out and will make it so I can get you that GC for lunch. Bonus points for commenting here & letting everyone know which room you're joining or thinking of joining. 2) If you think this is a terrible idea, tell us! Even better if you have an idea of what you'd like to see from the community team.
