Pure Certifications
Hey gang, If any of you currently hold a Flash Array certification there is an alternative to retaking the test to renew your cert. The Continuing Pure Education (CPE) program takes into account learning activities and community engagement and contribution hours to renew your FA certification. I just successfully renewed my Flash Array Storage Professional cert by tracking my activities. Below are the details I received from Pure. Customers can earn 1 CPE credit per hour of session attendance at Accelerate, for a maximum of 10 CPEs total (i.e., up to 10 hours of sessions). Sessions must be attended live. I would go ahead and add all the sessions you attended at Accelerate to the CPE_Submission form. Associate-level certifications will auto-renew as long as there is at least one active higher-level certification (e.g., Data Storage Associate will auto-renew anytime a Professional-level cert is renewed). All certifications other than the Data Storage Associate should be renewed separately. At this time, the CPE program only applies to FlashArray-based exams. Non- FA exams may be renewed by retaking the respective test every three years. You should be able to get the CPE submission form from your account team. Once complete email your recertification Log to peak-education@purestorage.com for formal processing. -CharlieWelcome Train & ICYMI: Highlights from the week of Dec 12!

Hey Pure community! We love hearing about your experiences and successes with Pure Storage, and today we're diving into a fun topic: what was that "aha!" moment when you decided to go all-in with Pure? Was it because Pure makes things so incredibly simple for you? The kind of simplicity that makes you wonder how you ever managed before? Maybe it was the blazing-fast performance that blew you away and completely transformed your operations? Or perhaps it was a particular feature or capability that just clicked and perfectly solved a challenge you were facing. We're genuinely curious to hear your stories! What was the specific factor, moment, or even a series of events that solidified your decision to choose Pure Storage? Share your insights, anecdotes, and "why Pure" moments in the comments below! We can't wait to read them. And I’m sure your peers here are curious too!Welcome Train & ICYMI: Highlights from the week of Oct 17!

Check out a new episode of the Pure Report podcast with Shawn Rosemarin, our VP R&D, Customer Engineering. Shawn shares his unique perspective on how the industry is moving beyond a product-centric view to embrace a platform mindset, emphasizing the profound impact this shift has on people and processes. Drawing on decades of experience, he highlights how true value is derived when technology actively evolves the way companies operate, making life better for IT professionals and streamlining essential business functions.
Is Your Pure Getting… BIGGER?
Hey Pure Storage Community! One of my favorite things about working at Pure Storage are our customers, and the amazing things they do with their Pure gear. We're super curious to hear about your recent Pure Storage adventures! Have you recently expanded your Pure footprint? Maybe added some new arrays, or grown your existing ones? We'd love to know what drove that decision! Was it a rapidly growing application that needed more oomph? Did you introduce a brand new, exciting workload to your environment? Or perhaps you finally waved goodbye to some old, clunky legacy gear and moved those workloads over to the sweet, sweet performance of Pure Storage? Share your stories, your "aha!" moments, and any insights you gained along the way! We're all ears and can't wait to see what you're up to. Let's get the conversation flowing!
