Hey everyone, Just wondering if anyone else is using Pure Protect yet. We have gone through the quick start guide and have a VMWare to VMWare configuration setup. We have configured our first policy and group utilizing a test VM but it seems to be stuck in the protection phase. I would be very interested to hear what others have seen or experienced. -CharlesCincinnati PUG 3
Well, it's the start of the year and time to start planning our next Cincinnati User Group. In our last meeting we discussed Cyber Resiliency with Shawn Snider, Chief Information Security Officer at SEHP. This session we look to tackle topics around Enterprise File. We have targeted January 28th, again at Ace's Pickleball. I or Nick Fritsch will post the verified details soon. Looking forward to more great discussion and collaboration!Accelerating AI Delivery with Cloud Native Tooling
As AI evolves from simple model inference to agentic systems that act autonomously and interact across services, delivering these workloads efficiently has become increasingly complex. This session explores how cloud-native technologies enable scalable, secure, and observable deployment of modern AI agents. We’ll examine the core characteristics of agentic workloads, the orchestration and networking patterns they require, and how cloud-native tooling accelerates experimentation, delivery, and reliability.Cincinnati PUG Launch
Thank you to all who helped make the 1st Cincinnati PUG meeting a success. A special thank you to charles_sheppar, who presented how Pure Storage has transformed his data center over the past 10 years (for the positive). After Charles, dstevens shared his thoughts on the changing virtualization landscape. David made the most of his time in Cincinnati, from meeting with customers, attending the PUG, as well as partaking in some Cincinnati classics, Skyline and Graeters. In User Group fashion, Charles is taking the lead and already thinking of topics and ideas for the next meeting. Charles has a "scary" idea that I think is perfect for the next user event. Leave a comment if you want to get involved in helping plan and organize the next event.
