While enterprises increasingly desire cloud attributes including
simplicity of management, pay-as-you-go consumption, and
non-disruptive upgrades, they know the best way to achieve their
goals is to implement a hybrid approach to IT. According to
predictions from IDC, by the end of this year, more than 90% of
enterprises worldwide will meet their infrastructure needs with a
mix of on-premises/dedicated private clouds, several public clouds,
and legacy platforms.
"Pure has been delivering the cloud experience from day one.
With Pure Cloud Block Store on Azure, we are continuing to bridge
the cloud divide, helping customers achieve the reliability,
resilience, performance, and operational simplicity they expect
from Pure wherever their data lives." -- Dan Kogan, VP of Product, FlashArray, Pure
Storage

deserve a seamless experience whether their infrastructure is
on-premises, hybrid, multicloud, or at the edge. Pure Cloud Block
Store on Azure, which is built with unique Azure capabilities
including shared disks and Ultra Disk Storage, provides a

Pure Cloud Block Store provides seamless data mobility across
on-premises and cloud environments with a consistent experience,
regardless of where data lives - on premises, cloud, hybrid cloud,
or multicloud. Pure Storage works collaboratively with Microsoft to
support joint customers on their cloud journey by addressing their
diverse needs, including:
- A common dataplane across environments: Because Pure
Cloud Block Store runs the same operating system as Pure's
industry-leading FlashArray™ systems, customers are able
to get all of the benefits of an enterprise-grade storage platform
including data reduction, built-in snapshots, thin provisioning,
and high availability, natively in the cloud and with the added
benefit of seamless data mobility between clouds. It delivers
consistent APIs and automation between on-premises and cloud,
enabling developers to build once and deploy across their hybrid
cloud.
- Resilience and reliability: Pure Cloud Block Store
enhances cloud storage reliability by ensuring that applications
and data are resilient to single points of failure. Also announced
today, the Pure Validated Design for Microsoft SQL Server Business
Resilience delivers business continuity for mission critical SQL
Server databases running on premises and enables disaster recovery
in the cloud by leveraging the new Pure Cloud Block Store for
Microsoft Azure as a high availability target. With SQL Server and
the combination of FlashArray//X, FlashArray//C, and Pure Cloud
Block Store, customers can achieve the highest levels of
application availability, ensuring business continuity for their
most important SQL Server workloads.
- Cost efficiency: Cloud-native customers can see
meaningful cost savings through Pure's industry leading data
reduction capabilities and via reduced management overhead
typically associated with cloud-native block storage by eliminating
the need to manage IOPS, bandwidth and capacity of individual
volumes. Its industry-leading data efficiency means customers can
buy less capacity in the cloud without compromising on enterprise
storage features and flexibility.
Pure's Subscription Services include the Evergreen™

solutions and Pure's Cloud Block Store under a single consumption
