Trying something new out, join us?
Hi all! Briana from the community team here. adhill and nfritsch came to me over the summer with the idea to host a virtual PUG meetup. So we put our heads together and came up with the idea of hosting a virtual PUG all about the landscape of virtualization options and figuring out how to make a choice or make the most of the choice you've already made. We'll meet on zoom & use breakout rooms to have small group discussions on 7 different virtualization topics. Info & registration link can be found by clicking on this image ⬇️ We're hosting it in 2 week and will be sending you a DoorDash gift card to cover your lunch during it. If you're part of a local chapter an SE in your area will be hosting a happy hour later in the day. (So far, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and Columbus, OH have committed to this. Oh and you have to be at meetup to learn about the HH location & get swag.) We've brought in the Everpure experts on each of these options, and in some case they'll be interviewing customers who have already made the move. You'll have the chance to ask both of them your questions and get to know other Everpure customers that are making the same decision as you. What I'm asking is two things of you: 1) If you're interested, please register. This will help me know if it was a good idea to try out and will make it so I can get you that GC for lunch. Bonus points for commenting here & letting everyone know which room you're joining or thinking of joining. 2) If you think this is a terrible idea, tell us! Even better if you have an idea of what you'd like to see from the community team.Our First Virtual Pure User Group Meeting
I hope you’re enjoying the fall weather. Baseball fans have already seen two roof balls this postseason, while Bengals fans know the drill. We tried to gather this summer, but the July 4th holiday and vacations made scheduling tough. We’re planning one last community get-together before 2027, and details are coming soon. In the meantime, join us for our first virtual Pure User Group, focused on modern virtualization. Subject matter experts and customers will share their experience and answer questions. We’re bringing together Pure User Group communities from across the Midwest, including Pittsburgh, but don’t let the Steelers fans scare you off even though they got the best of our Bengals a few weeks ago. Event Date/Time: Thursday, October 29, 2026, 1:00–2:20 p.m. Eastern Register: https://experience.everpuredata.com/virtualizationlunchlearn I’ve loved the community we’ve built in 2025 and 2026. We have a great foundation, and I’m looking forward to building on it in 2027.
FlashArray Meets Nutanix, Independently Scale Compute and Storage
September 24 | Register Now Traditional hyperconverged infrastructure ties compute and storage together, forcing you to add nodes you don't need just to gain capacity. This webinar shows infrastructure and storage admins how pairing Everpure FlashArray with the Nutanix Cloud Platform over NVMe/TCP breaks that dependency, delivering external, high-performance block storage to Acropolis Hypervisor (AHV) clusters. You'll walk through the reference architecture in detail, including how the two platforms connect and how data services like VM-level snapshots, replication, and SafeMode ransomware protection layer beneath your Nutanix workloads. The result is an architecture you can scale on your terms, expanding compute and storage independently while maintaining the enterprise data services and non-disruptive operations your workloads depend on. Key takeaways: How FlashArray connects to Nutanix AHV over NVMe/TCP, and what the end-to-end reference architecture looks like in practice Why disaggregating compute and storage eliminates node overprovisioning and lowers TCO without sacrificing performance How to extend enterprise data services — snapshots, replication, and ransomware-resistant immutable snapshots — beneath your Nutanix workloads What non-disruptive upgrades and independent scaling mean for day-2 operations and long-term capacity planning Register Now

Nutanix and Pure Storage are Changing Virtualization
Big news, virtualization fans! The combined Nutanix + Pure Storage solution is now available. You can read all about it in the blog and get further details on our Nutanix partner page. We’ve been talking to lots of folks about this offering, both Pure users and not, and the consensus is that people are glad to see some new stability being brought to the virtualization world, with a solution from two customer-centric organizations. To give you a sense of the value of using external storage with FlashArray, an early adopter (I’m not at liberty to name them) running a nearly 2 PB database workload will save about 50% on rack space with significant savings on power, cooling and operational costs. Please contact your Pure sales team if you want to learn more about this solution.
