You Could Have All This Observability! A Live Walkthrough of Pure1.
July 8th | Register Now! Imagine having full observability into your storage fleet with live insights, anomaly detection, and easy, fleet-wide management. But, there’s a plot twist! It’s all included with Pure Storage. Join us for a live walkthrough of Pure1®. You'll see firsthand how monitoring, intelligent planning, and proactive management can simplify your day-to-day operations and prepare you for what’s next. After some history of Pure 1 and unpacking the “nothing to install” approach, we’ll walk through common, customer day-to-day scenarios and how Pure1 helps with: Logs - Never upload them again. Planning performance and/or capacity growth yourself based on historical data at your finger tips. Modeling out new workloads in real time. VM-level visibility and container integration. Reporting on data protection, security, and sustainability/energy posture. This month host Andrew Miller welcomes back Matt Bradford—the driving force behind Pure360 for a LIVE DEMO you don’t want to miss. We’ll close with what’s new in Pure1 (hint: this may cover some upcoming announcements at Pure//Accelerate®). Register Now!Preparing for the Next Attack: Building a Stronger Data Resilience Strategy
June 19 | Register Now! Ransomware attacks and large-scale IT disruptions are becoming more frequent, more complex, and more costly. Traditional backup alone can’t keep up. To maintain business continuity in the face of unpredictable threats, organizations need a layered data resilience strategy that leverages secure and resilient storage as a foundation. Join Jason Walker, Technical Strategy Director at Pure Storage as he shares practical insights on how to prepare for and respond to today’s evolving cyber and disaster scenarios. The session will be hosted by Jason Langer, Senior Technical Evangelist, Pure Storage. Key takeaways: Why traditional data protection often falls short against modern ransomware and disaster scenarios What layered data resilience looks like—and how to start building it today Best practices to ensure ransomware and disaster readiness.

Our company like many others have parted ways with VMWare. We decided not to renew this last April and are currently running unsupported/perpetual as we look for a replacement hypervisor. Costs on a 7000+ core renewal came in at about 5x what we paid in previous years. Just a little backstory, but this post is not to discuss that. For hardware we currently run Cisco ACI, Cisco UCS and Pure Storage in a converged architecture. What Cisco/Pure call Flashstack. 4 Sites, 200+ blades, Mix of 14 //x and //c Arrays. We are heavy Vvol users today. We have narrowed our search down to Proxmox, XCP-NG, and OpenShift Virtualization. Successes with Proxmox have been great, deployment (iSCSI Boot), automation, migration, etc. Winning so far. XCP-NG, similar to Proxmox. Some issues with Migrations. But overall working. OpenShift, just started vetting. Have a workshop scheduled with RedHat to really test out and see if the product is a good fit. Would require Portworx. Now to what I am wondering, would any of you that will be attending Pure //Accelerate be interested in a meet-up to network and discuss the trials and tribulations with these or other alternative hypervisors on Pure Storage? I am happy to present my decision process, success criteria, testing results and implementation configuration for each. If we get enough people I can ask my AE/SE to see if Pure would allow us use of a breakout meeting room. If interested let me know, I would prefer to keep this vendor neutral other than Pure, as we would not be going to a Pure conference if not interested or already running Pure Storage.From Data to Insight: Building End-to-end AI Pipelines with Pure Storage
