Pure Protect - Network and Firewall Requirements
An important topic with deploying Pure Protect, both Premium and Community Editions, is what ports and network settings are required for it to work? We maintain a page answering all of those questions in the Pure1 Support portal! Within the Pure Protect Quick Start documentation, which is great information to review prior to a deployment, we include a page "Network Firewall Requirements." This details outbound communications to Pure1, to vCenter and ESXi, to AWS if used, and between sites when using VMware to VMware workflows.
