New Toys!
Hey folks, today we announced some really cool new stuff. Apps are everywhere - Edge, Core, Cloud - and are changing the way we do business. A unified way to manage it all - one ring to rule them all - is what is needed. Scale, function, supporting AI while being simultaneously sustainable for the planet - really important stuff. Improvements to the Enterprise Data Cloud, better support for containers and automation, and protecting yourself from cyber criminality is what's in a brand new toolbox for you. Check out this blog for more info.I was personally very excited to read this news!
But now that Charlie has weighed in it feels worth sharing here. I know many folks who’ve been impacted by enforcement of these policies, keeping them in jobs they weren’t happy in or impacting their opportunities for career growth. In my opinion this move is healthy for our industry. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/charlesgiancarlo_us-regulator-votes-to-ban-most-non-compete-activity-7189643769846091776-GICq|https://www.linkedin.com/posts/charlesgiancarlo_us-regulator-votes-to-ban-most-non-compete-activity-7189643769846091776-GICqNew stuff!!!
Hey everyone, joining the community. I'm JP, the launch lead for Pure. This week at our NYC event we're announcing some cool new stuff.

Stay tuned, and watch for posts on Thursday!Thanks for Joining the INAUGURAL Ask Us Everything for Fusion
Hello Pure Community! Thanks a TON to everybody who tuned in for the Fusion Ask Us Everything session this morning. We had a blast hosting it, and were stoked to see all the questions that were sent in...it was great to see everybody is looking at Fusion's capabilities and how it can add value to their array fleet management. MUCHO thanks to jd and RichBarlow for navigating through all the questions and talking about it all. Also, BIG SHOUTOUT to gcarl for parachuting in and answering some Federal questions! Be sure to join us next month for the next one, which will cover Purity upgrades - we are looking forward to a spirited discussion that will convince even the biggest skeptic that upgrading your Pure array is not like the scary old days of upgrading legacy storage. Until then, enjoy this awesome meme of a skateboarding possum. See you in September! DPTurn up the volume for another Pure Report episode!

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. -Charlie
