Top 10 Reasons to Love Purity 6.9
(Because 6.7 is so 2024)
10. 🏋️♂️ Long-Life Release means it’s supported until June 2028 — which is about three years longer than that gym membership you swore you’d use.
9. 🌐 Works with all the latest FlashArray platforms, AWS, Azure… pretty much everything except your toaster (for now).
8. 🕵️♂️ Security updates so strong, even your data will feel like it’s in the witness protection program.
7. 🚀 Turn on File Services without downtime or approval from Pure product management — finally, a software update you don’t have to schedule for “that one weekend in Q4 when no one’s looking.”
6. 🙌 Encourages Self-Service Upgrades. Translation: fewer support tickets, more “Look, Mom, I did it myself!” moments.
5. 🔑 Default password warning. Yes, “pureuser” is adorable… until it becomes a resume-generating event.
4. 🍍 VMware improvements so good, your virtual machines just sent a fruit basket.
3. 🎛️ Fusion, Fusion, Fusion! Which is like having a universal remote for your data… without the panic of losing it between the couch cushions.
2. 📜 REST API 2.x release notes so thorough, they make War and Peace look like a sticky note.
- 🏆 You get to tell your boss you're on a "Long-Life Release," which sounds much more impressive than "I'm not doing an upgrade for a while."
