Storage Jailbreak! The Transformative, Operational Hope of Storage as a Service
May 6, 2025 | 11:00AM PT • 2:00PM ET -> Register Now! Details: For May, Principal Technologist Matthew Bednar will join Coffee Break host Andrew Miller. First, we’ll explore Matt’s career as a customer–what drew him to choose Pure Storage as a customer even before he joined the company (yes, this is partly about how he got out of storage jail). From there, we’ll dive into storage as a service (STaaS) from a practitioner perspective and how STaaS done right (Evergreen® is part of it) enables you to focus on items that matter to your company—freeing you from storage jail. The discussion will include: How STaaS affects traditional customer organization roles and responsibilities - It’s more than just a shift from purchase to consumption. SLOs vs. SLAs - If you don’t know the difference, you might be getting taken advantage of. Initial sizing and expansion planning - The shift in approaches. Overview of Evergreen//One™ (Pure Storage STaaS offering) New Evergreen//One capabilities, such as “paid power and rack” and the “cyber resilience SLA” (unique value in the case of a ransomware attack). As always, we’ll keep it educational while exploring how Pure Storage offers capabilities and products that benefit you. The speakers will stay on after the webinar to answer questions for those who want to learn more. LIVE RAFFLE: One lucky attendee will win a YETI Coffee Lover Set (approx. value $132.16).
