With a partnership built up over a decade, Pure has invested in
VMware solutions since its inception. Together, the two companies
deliver the platforms that customers need to virtualize their
environments, quickly consolidate workloads, host mission-critical
applications, and accelerate application modernization with
persistent storage for containers on-premises or in the cloud. This
partnership is expanding and enabling Pure to accelerate hybrid
cloud deployments as a leading VMware Design Partner on key
technologies including vSphere Virtual Volumes with VMware Cloud
Foundation and VMware Site Recovery Manager, Cloud Native Storage
for Kubernetes on VMware, and NVMe over Fabric.
New solution enhancements from Pure help enterprises maximize
their VMware investments, delivering agility and efficiency for
modern applications across on-premises and cloud environments.
Customers will have improved availability of their data services,
enabling them to meet demanding Service-level Agreements
(SLAs).
"More than ever, enterprises need to maximize their technology
investments to bring simplicity to their cloud operations and
infrastructure," said Vaughn
Stewart, Vice President, Technology Alliance Partners, Pure
Storage. "By providing automated data services to applications in
virtual machines and containers, Pure helps customers gain a Modern
Data Experience with their VMware hybrid clouds."
"Pure is an important design partner for VMware," said
Lee Caswell, Vice President,
Marketing, Cloud Platform Business Unit, VMware. "Our mutual
customers benefit from how we simplify the deployment of all-flash
storage in VMware Cloud Foundation, while Pure's role in VMware
Virtual Volumes (vVols) simplifies the management of modern
software-defined data centers. We look forward to delivering NVMoF
solutions to market that will reset the bar on performance for
modern applications."
Solutions designed to accelerate hybrid cloud deployments and
optimize customers' VMware investments include:
vSphere Virtual Volumes as principal storage for VMware Cloud
Foundation. VMware and Pure enable vSphere Virtual Volumes
as Principal storage for VMware Cloud Foundation. Customers can now
realize the value of Pure Storage and vSphere Virtual Volumes
natively within VMware Cloud Foundation. FlashStack™ delivers the
performance, availability, and economics required for a VMware
Cloud Foundation hybrid cloud in a single architecture, with the
simplicity of integrated application to infrastructure
management.
Support for vSphere Virtual Volumes storage with Site
Recovery Manager. Modern data protection is a critical
component for any VMware deployment including those leveraging
vSphere Virtual Volumes on Pure. For VMware infrastructure, VMware
Site Recovery Manager provides an enterprise solution for automated
disaster recovery. As the leader in vSphere Virtual Volumes
storage, Pure co-engineered the integration of vSphere Virtual
Volumes with SRM. This allows enterprises to consume vSphere
Virtual Volumes on Pure while protecting their mission critical
applications from disaster.
VMware Tanzu and container integration. Pure is a
VMware Design Partner for the Cloud Native Storage and vSphere
Virtual Volumes programs, providing persistent storage that enables
true hybrid cloud mobility for containers running on VMware. Cloud
Native Storage and vSphere Virtual Volumes enable workloads in
Kubernetes environments to utilize Pure FlashArray™ as
CSI-compliant persistent storage, bringing world-class all-flash
performance and data services to containerized applications in
addition to VMware vSphere environments.
NVMe-oF with vSphere 7. Pure is VMware's Design Partner
for modern data fabric support on vSphere. With vSphere 7, VMware
and Pure have worked to provide native end-to-end support for NVMe
over Fabrics (NVME-oF) using Pure's DirectFlash® Fabric.
NVMe is a revolution in the storage world, providing lower latency
and higher throughput than legacy SCSI devices. This capability
unleashes the raw performance of the Pure FlashArray and maximizes
performance density in the data center. Mutual customers can enjoy
a modern data experience that maximizes the performance and
consolidation of critical applications, VMs, and containers.
"Pure and VMware deliver well-executed technologies, have strong
partnerships with each other and their customers, and continue to
focus on improving and providing more value to technical teams,"
said Joe Palmer, Infrastructure
Manager, Farm Bureau Insurance of Michigan. "These benefits have allowed us to
move forward with a multitude of projects without the worries a lot
of other organizations have with questions like: 'is it big enough
or is it fast enough or will it even work?' Our technical teams can
focus on providing the solutions to the problems, and VMware and
Pure technologies allow our teams to do that easily, effectively,
and without an army of people."
At VMworld 2020, Pure will virtually present its solutions and
integrations with VMware Cloud Foundation, Kubernetes including
VMware Tanzu, NVMe-oF, and more. Learn more about these new
