Tech Talk Recap: Everpure Fusion, Scalable Storage Management Without the Tax ποΈ
In our latest Tech Talk, Zane Allen, principal technology strategist at Everpure, and I walked through Everpure Fusion, what it does today, where it is going, and how you can point your own AI at it. Zane even ran a live demo. If you missed it, here is what you need to know. π
What you missed:
- π Fusion is built into every FlashArray and FlashBlade. There is no separate VM to maintain and no license key to install.
- π You get one view of your whole fleet, from a few arrays to hundreds across sites, managed through the UI, CLI, or API.
- π Presets let you define your provisioning choices once, like QoS, storage class, and data protection, then stamp out workloads from a catalog every time.
- π€ Fusion augments your existing automation instead of replacing it. Your scripts can call presets, and drift becomes visible instead of a surprise at audit time.
- π Policy-based workload definitions, built on SLAs and configuration policies, are on the way. You can start with presets today and upgrade later without starting over.
- πΊοΈ Topology groups let you organize a fleet the way you think about it, by region, data center, department, or application.
- π― Placement recommendations come with the reasons behind them. You can take the recommendation or choose your own array, so you stay in control.
- π¬ MCP servers let you ask your storage questions in plain language using the AI tool you already use. You control access with API tokens and can make them read-only.
- π₯οΈ The live demo showed fleet questions, a CVE dashboard, and a corrupted VM scenario with recovery options laid out in seconds.
