Foundations matter: Their flexibility enables or constrains what you can do years down the road with your applications and business initiatives.
For February 2026, host Andrew Miller explores the idea of data center foundations and how Pure Storage works with Cisco around FlashStack® to enable both current and future business initiatives. He’ll be joined by Eugene McGrath, Principal Field Solutions Architect for FlashStack—and previously a partner and customer—who will do a deep dive on this topic.
We’ll wander through:
- Data center architecture history - from Reference Architecture to Converged Infrastructure, to Hyperconverged Infrastructure, the benefits we hoped for from each architectural phase, and how well we achieved them at an industry level.
- FlashStack - the core design principles behind the Cisco and Pure Storage partnership and the benefits, including statelessness, innovation without disruption, benefits during Day 0/1/2, and Cisco Validated Designs.
- What matters today - new announcements and capabilities with Nutanix, hypervisor optionality, AI designs, AI Pods, and more!
In short, FlashStack reduces risk with prevalidated solutions for AI and analytics, cyber resilience, business-critical applications, and modern virtualization.
