Latest platform enhancements empower customers with more
control over their data storage environment via a single management
layer, simplifying end-to-end operations
SANTA
CLARA, Calif., March 5,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Pure Storage®
(NYSE: PSTG), the IT pioneer that delivers the world's most
advanced data storage technologies and services, today announced
new self-service capabilities across its Pure1® storage
management platform and Evergreen® portfolio as it
delivers on its commitment to provide comprehensive, valuable
software-based solutions, all via a single platform experience, to
global customers.
Industry Significance:
Pure Storage has been at the forefront of revolutionizing
enterprise data storage since its inception in 2009. What began as
a commitment to high-performance storage hardware has evolved into
a comprehensive platform that delivers outcomes, with an emphasis
on Storage as-a-Service (STaaS) and automated software service
delivery.
This strategic shift to further embrace as-a-Service outcomes
delivers on Pure Storage's vision to meet the evolving demands of
modern businesses that seek efficient, cost-effective, and scalable
storage solutions.
Today's announcement is a testament to Pure Storage's unwavering
efforts to provide a meaningful Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)
experience to enterprises everywhere, eliminating time-intensive IT
operations with expanded software capabilities that automate
upgrades for the Purity flash storage operating environment ,
streamline data protection, simplify invoice management and ESG
reporting, and enhance partner intelligence - all at no cost and
available immediately with an Evergreen subscription.
News Highlights:
- Enhanced Self Service
- Self-Service Autonomous Upgrades: More than 30% of
Pure Storage's customer base uses ActiveCluster™. Upgrades to the
Purity operating environment for ActiveCluster required
time-consuming manual effort, as customers jumped from one upgrade
to another in an effort to keep servers in sync. With new
Autonomous Upgrades, customers can simply invoke a Purity upgrade,
leaving the heavy lifting to Pure Storage via its Pure1 platform,
and freeing up the time previously spent managing the process
themselves.
- Simplified Data Resilience
- Streamlined Ransomware Anomaly Detection: In Pure1,
organizations can leverage AIOps for ransomware anomaly detection
in their data estate. In the event of an anomaly, Pure1 now
recommends snapshots from which customers can restore their
affected data (both locally and remote), eliminating cumbersome,
manual snapshot catalog reviews, which can take anywhere from hours
to days.
- Automated Disaster Recovery as-a-Service: On the
heels of launching its first DRaaS offering, Pure Storage has now
released DRaaS 1.1 within Pure1, enabling customers to deploy
disaster recovery in their data center in just 15 minutes or less.
Organizations running virtual machines (VMs) in a VMware
environment can now leverage Pure1 to deploy a self-service
environment for disaster recovery in the AWS cloud. Additionally,
Pure Storage launched a new Auto-Enroll feature, where
organizations can tag (auto-enroll) VMs in their data center for
added protection.
- Empowered Partner Experience
- Partner Intelligence/Performance Tracking: Now in
Beta, Pure Storage Partners gain an extra layer of granularity in
performance as well as an improved user experience.
- Simplified Invoice Management: With new simplified
invoice management, Pure Storage offers transparency across its
Evergreen subscriptions - all in a single pane of glass view - for
customers. The latest capability boosts traceability and the
ability for partners to reconcile what customers are being charged
for, which can often create strains in the partner-customer
relationship.
- Transparent Sustainability Compliance
- Customized C-Suite ESG Reports: In support of Pure
Storage's previously announced Sustainability Assessment,
Pure Storage now provides a customizable executive-level ESG
report, including a summarized view of a customer's data center and
overall fleet, while outlining areas of improvement. This helps IT
teams better communicate the sustainability impact of their IT
infrastructure to management and align better to organizational
sustainability goals.
