Hello All, I am a Sr. Architect with the Pure Professional Services team
Hello All, I am a Sr. Architect with the Pure Professional Services team. In our PS Delivery team, we spend a large amount of my time automating against FlashArray for various tasks, such as database refreshes, automated volume provisioning, DR/BC, zero touch provisioning, etc Recently, we have had a thought that it would be mutually beneficial for us to share our successes with the customer base, as well as create an open forum for you all to share with each other where you have had success. I have made a slack channel topic-automation-user-group where you can join if interested. If we can spark enough interest, we will attempt to meet quarterly. We will have an agenda for demos, guest speakers (including from your peers), open Q&A etc.
Hello folks- I hope your day and week are wrapping up nicely
I wanted to make you aware of two FA File+VDI blogs i recently wrote: one for 6.3 that covers a use case with ActiveDR for FA File on VMware and one that goes into some detail on why i made certain decisions in my solution for the FA File+folder redirection for VDI. I hope you find them useful! Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. https://www.codyhosterman.com/2022/04/native-pure-storage-flasharray-file-replication-purity-6-3/|Native Pure Storage FlashArray™ File Replication – Purity 6.3 https://www.codyhosterman.com/2022/04/horizon-folder-redirection-hosted-on-flasharray-file/|Horizon Folder Redirection Hosted on FlashArray™ FileNVMe-over-Fabrics (NVMe-oF) with Windows Server Initiator and Everpure FlashArray
Are you actively using or considering to use NVMe-oF with Linux and FlashArray? Do you know that Microsoft recently announced a preview of Windows Server NVMe-oF initiator? For those who are interested in this topic, I tested the initial preview with FlashArray and posted the results into the Everpure blog page here
