Community Meetups at 2026 Pure//Accelerate
Excited to announce that we are growing our community meetups at Accelerate in June. Building on the successful Modern Virtualization and Cyber gatherings last year, we have added new topics so you can engage with peers and fellow attendees to share and learn in the topics you care most about. Check out the community meetup sessions at this link and plan to add to your session builder once it goes live in the Event app. All meetups will run at 5:30PM local time and feature customers and Everpure discussion leaders across Pure1, Database solutions, Modern Virtualization, Cyber, Cloud and a special Women in Tech meetup led by our own Flashmaven Valerie Harrison. https://www.purestorage.com/accelerate/learning-tracks.html?filter5=tag%3Ainline%2Faccelerate%2Fsession-type%2Fcommunity-meetupNo, we're not becoming EUGs...
Let's get the elephant in the room cleared up first. PUGS are staying PUGS. Now with that out of the way, let's move onto what this post really is for. With the rebrand to Everpure, we have the opportunity to create distinct visual identities for PUG chapters. To ensure this is a truly community-driven process, we are requesting community members (YOU & your peers) create a mood board for your chapter. Here's the steps for doing this: Request Input: Each chapter leader will be creating a post on your chapter's group discussion board requesting mood board inputs. These inputs must be received by April 30th, 2026 to be considered. If your chapter has not provided any inputs by the deadline, you will not receive a custom logo. Research & Discussion within the chapter: Post in the discussion thread any inspiration you think should be included in the mood board. Conversation on the inclusion or exclusion of any elements is encouraged! Group consensus will govern what goes on the moodboards. Mood board creation: I will add all elements agreed on by each chapter to the mood board the first week of May. Approval: Mood boards will be sent back to each chapter for approval. (May 11-15) Design: Moodboard will be submitted to the Brand team for design work. Reveal: New logos will be released this summer! Please review the attached PDF for further details and examples. I hope you all are as excited about this as I am! Let me know if you have any questions. -BriHelp Shape the Future of the Everpure Customer Community! 🧡

New Toys!
Hey folks, today we announced some really cool new stuff. Apps are everywhere - Edge, Core, Cloud - and are changing the way we do business. A unified way to manage it all - one ring to rule them all - is what is needed. Scale, function, supporting AI while being simultaneously sustainable for the planet - really important stuff. Improvements to the Enterprise Data Cloud, better support for containers and automation, and protecting yourself from cyber criminality is what's in a brand new toolbox for you. Check out this blog for more info.New stuff!!!
Hey everyone, joining the community. I'm JP, the launch lead for Pure. This week at our NYC event we're announcing some cool new stuff. If you don't have the opportunity to attend, we'll be posting lots of info in communities and links to where you can find more info. Stay tuned, and watch for posts on Thursday!Thanks for Joining the INAUGURAL Ask Us Everything for Fusion
Hello Pure Community! Thanks a TON to everybody who tuned in for the Fusion Ask Us Everything session this morning. We had a blast hosting it, and were stoked to see all the questions that were sent in...it was great to see everybody is looking at Fusion's capabilities and how it can add value to their array fleet management. MUCHO thanks to jd and RichBarlow for navigating through all the questions and talking about it all. Also, BIG SHOUTOUT to gcarl for parachuting in and answering some Federal questions! Be sure to join us next month for the next one, which will cover Purity upgrades - we are looking forward to a spirited discussion that will convince even the biggest skeptic that upgrading your Pure array is not like the scary old days of upgrading legacy storage. Until then, enjoy this awesome meme of a skateboarding possum. See you in September! DP
