Industry Significance:
Enterprises are grappling with a range of challenges: from
scaling AI initiatives, to defending against evolving cyber
threats, to managing energy consumption. Traditional IT
infrastructure has proven to be inadequate, riddled with inflexible
storage solutions that can't keep up with rapid technological
advancements and performance needs. This lack of agility hampers AI
growth and heightens vulnerability to sophisticated cyberattacks,
while increasing energy costs and power demands add further strain.
To tackle these challenges, businesses require a modernized data
infrastructure that provides the agility, reliability, and
efficiency necessary for effective solutions.
Platform Momentum:
The Pure Storage Platform delivers unmatched agility and risk
reduction with a simple, unified storage platform and flexible
as-a-service experience for the broadest range of use cases - from
on-premises to the public cloud to hosted environments. Central to
the platform, the often imitated but never duplicated Evergreen®
architecture ensures continuous, non-disruptive upgrades, enabling
enterprises to quickly adapt in today's dynamic business landscape.
With the industry's most comprehensive set of concurrent SLAs,
customers get the reliability, performance, and energy efficiency
required to modernize their businesses.
The Pure Storage Platform has introduced several innovations and
industry-first milestones over the past year to help organizations
accelerate their AI initiatives, improve cyber resiliency and
address today's pressing power challenges, including:
- First Purpose-Built AI
Storage-as-a-Service: Evergreen//One™ for AI guarantees
storage performance for GPUs to support training, inference, and
HPC workloads, extending Pure's position for capacity
subscriptions, and introduces the ability to purchase based on
dynamic performance and throughput needs. This unique SLA
eliminates the need for planning or overbuying.
- First-of-its-Kind Storage Automation: Pure Fusion™
seamlessly integrates and optimizes storage pools for both
structured and unstructured data, across on-premises and cloud
environments. Embedded in the Purity operating system, Fusion will
soon be available across the entire Pure Storage Platform to all
global customers.
- First Generative AI Copilot for Storage: Raising the bar
again for simplicity, the industry's first generative AI copilot
for storage represents a radically new way to manage and protect
data using natural language. This leverages data insights from tens
of thousands of customers to guide storage teams through every step
of complex and unforeseen performance and management issues and
staying ahead of security incidents.
- Intelligence-Driven Security Assessment: The
assessment provides deep visibility into fleet-level security risks
and offers actionable insights to maximize cyber resilience. Based
on aggregated intelligence across 10k+ environments, it delivers
numerical scores to benchmark an entire storage fleet's security
posture, while also offering best practices to align with NIST 2.0
standards, advance regulatory compliance, remediate potential
security anomalies, and rapidly restore operations. Pure's AI
copilot leverages the assessment to provide CISOs the ability to
benchmark security posture against other Pure customers.
- Industry-First Paid Power and Rack Commitment: Pure
Storage pays for its customers' power and rack space through
Evergreen//One, taking responsibility for the associated costs of
power and rack unit to run our offerings. As AI workloads become
increasingly power-hungry and data center demands surge, Pure's
paid power and rack solution—combined with 10x lower power
consumption—helps IT manage rising electricity costs and space
constraints more efficiently.
