Announcing the General Availability of Purity//FA 6.10.1
We are happy to announce the general availability of 6.10.1, the second release in the 6.10 Feature Release line, continuing to deliver on our Evergreen promise, offering customers new integrations with third-party solutions and expanded platform capabilities, allowing them to extract even more value from their enterprise data cloud.
Some of the Purity features contained in this release include:
- Rubrik Tag Visualization highlights compromised storage volumes and snapshots identified by Rubrik, directly in Fusion’s fleet-wide GUI, enabling customers to quickly gain actionable insights to protect data and minimize downtime—making cyber resilience simple and scalable.
- Unified Replication Support on X20R4/R5 aligns support for ActiveDR and Block Async replication use cases across the currently-available product line, expanding data protection capabilities for customers on entry-level platforms.
- Object Tagging Phase 4 adds REST and CLI support for adding metadata tags to remote pods, remote p-group snapshots and volume snapshots, giving users and processes more options for organizing and filtering storage objects.
See the release notes for all the details about these, and the many other features, bug fixes, and security updates included in the 6.10 release line.
UPGRADE RECOMMENDATIONS AND EOL SCHEDULE
Customers who are looking for continued delivery of all the newest capabilities should upgrade to 6.10.1.
