Microsoft Azure: Get All-flash Storage for Azure Local
May 21 | Register Now! Azure Local now supports on-premises storage, and Everpure is a certified solution. It offers a new alternative to legacy virtualization platforms, using familiar Windows and Hyper-V technology. Why add local storage to Azure? Delivers data sovereignty as all data remains on premises Ultra-low latency storage for your most demanding workloads, such as databases and AI Separate compute from storage, to allow granular scaling and avoid over-spending Join our webinar to learn how easy it is to deploy Everpure FlashArray™ with Azure Local and how it can completely transform your virtualization journey.

March 24 | Register Now! As database estates scale, DBAs spend an increasing amount of time re-validating the same storage constructs, compliance, and more—rather than improving database reliability and recoverability. This walkthrough demonstrates how workload-aware presets encapsulate these requirements into reusable, prescriptive configurations for well-defined database environments. By decoupling database intent from underlying storage mechanics, DBAs apply consistent protection, performance, and governance policies without per-database tuning or scripting. The result is deterministic behavior across the estate, faster deployment, and reduced operational risk as environments grow. Join us to learn about: Repeatable configuration at scale: Presets enforce consistent snapshots, QoS, naming, and retention across all databases. Policy-driven orchestration: Database workload intent is applied through templates, not scripts or manual configuration. Predictable recovery behavior: Consistent workload delivers reliable, high-performance restores with less risk.

February 19 | Register now! SQL Server estates are continually growing, and traditional backup targets often become the primary bottleneck in failing to meet aggressive recovery time objectives. Stop managing backups and start orchestrating them. Explore how Pure Storage FlashBlade®, as part of the Enterprise Data Cloud, overcomes constraints through a scale-out architecture for rapid backup and recovery throughput. We will share baseline performance data, including restore speeds exceeding 100 TB/hr, and provide practical guidance on integrating FlashBlade with native T-SQL backup using SMB and S3 protocols. Key Takeaways: Operational simplicity: Uses policy templates to eliminate manual configuration and human error. Flexible multi-protocol integration: Advantages of using both SMB and S3-compatible object storage as native backup targets, including the use of multiple Virtual Interfaces (VIFs) to maximize throughput. Optimized performance tuning: Gain insights from real-world validation data on how to balance host CPU usage and compression (using ZSTD) to achieve the most efficient backup and restore windows for your environment.
