ICYMI: Azure Local webinar replay now available
Missed our Azure Local webinar? Catch the replay! This is a really exciting new joint solution between Everpure and Microsoft to deliver Azure services and Hyper-V virtualization in your data center, on your favorite FlashArray, all managed through the Azure portal. The webinar explains the value of the joint solution as well as details about how it works.Azure Local now works with FlashArray
A little bit of catch up here, but Azure Local is now fully GA with support for on-premises FlashArray. That means you can easily expand your current environment with FA external storage, or start a net new deployment. And yes, you can use an existing FlashArray to do it. Azure Local is shaping up to be a good VMware alternative as well as a strong solution for those needing soverign clouds, as Microsoft has a lot of support for regulatory frameworks and in-country data centers. You can learn more about it in the blog and feel free to post any questions here. We also have a webinar coming up on May 21, 9:00am PT, 12:00pm ET, so you can learn more about it.
Proxmox VE
Hi all Hope you're all having a great day. We have several customers going down the Proxmox VE road. One of my colleagues was put onto https://github.com/kolesa-team/pve-purestorage-plugin as a possible solution (as using Pure behind Proxmox (using the native Proxmox release) is not a particularly Pure-like experience. Could someone from Pure comment on the plugin's validity/supportability?

If you have additional burning questions and comments, leave them in the comments below for the team!NVMe-TCP + VMware Design Questions
Q1: In a medium - large datacenter (ie anticipated growth to 500 hosts), would it be a problem to use large subnets (ie 2 x /23 or /22's) to place the initiators + target IPs? All our existing nvme-tcp deployments (which we're having great success with btw) use 2 x /24's, which provides more than enough capacity for the array + a decent sized cluster. But now we're entering into the realms of multiple flasharrays (ie 3 or 4 in a single site) and hundreds of hosts - we'll quickly exhaust a /24 range. Q2: In this site, where we have say 2 x FA-X's an 2 x FA-C's, is it valid to present datastores from all of these arrays over nvme-tcp to a single cluster? With each array / datastore cluster being accessed using the same initiators on the same layer 2's? At what point does it get silly and I need to draw a line and segregate environments? Q3: Is there a capacity limit to the number of client hosts I can have on an array / mapping storage to? (nvm - I think I found the answer to that - looks like it's 1000 nqn's on pretty much all X and C arrays)Pure Report Podcast: Nutanix and Pure Storage: Propelling Enterprise Virtualization Forward
Check out the latest edition of the Pure Report podcast where we unpack the GA announcement for the Nutanix and Pure Storage partnership. Hear from Cody_Hosterman and Nutanix VP Product Ketan Shah on the technical details of the integration and how this partnership came together.
Nutanix and Pure Storage are Changing Virtualization
Big news, virtualization fans! The combined Nutanix + Pure Storage solution is now available. You can read all about it in the blog and get further details on our Nutanix partner page. We’ve been talking to lots of folks about this offering, both Pure users and not, and the consensus is that people are glad to see some new stability being brought to the virtualization world, with a solution from two customer-centric organizations. To give you a sense of the value of using external storage with FlashArray, an early adopter (I’m not at liberty to name them) running a nearly 2 PB database workload will save about 50% on rack space with significant savings on power, cooling and operational costs. Please contact your Pure sales team if you want to learn more about this solution.
