Get Excited!
OK - maybe I made that special event Tuesday thing up, but you have to admit it's catchy in a way every terrible social media feed ad grabs your eye 😀. And with that, it does lead to a great question: Are you on the latest version of Purity? As you may or may not know, we had some recent Purity releases over the summer...we've been busy: Purity 6.9.1 for FlashArray: This is the latest Long Life Release (LLR) Purity 6.10 for FlashArray: This is the latest Feature Release (FR) Purity 4.5.12 for FlashBlade: This is the latest LLR Purity 4.6.2 for FlashBlade: This is the latest FR Click here for a quick reminder on what their difference is in a blog from my buddy Ben Casey, the wisest Puritan I know. 💪 And with that being said - how did your latest upgrade go? Did you use Pure1 or the support white glove service we offer? Give us your stories - good and bad...we are all in learning mode and listening!
