70% of IT organizations will be unifying their storage and data protection infrastructure to make it more cost effective and add new capabilities. Historically, consolidation has always represented trade-offs and compromise… until now. Hear from Don Poorman, FlashArray Technical PMM about Pure's first truly unified block and storage platform built from the ground up with unified as its goal. Don discusses the history of separate protocols and how legacy platforms struggle to provide the efficiencies and consolidation that users need today. We also dive into the host of use cases that FlashArray unified block and file addresses - solving customer challenges in user shares, repositories, VMware NFS datastores, PACS, general file, and many more. All of this comes with our future proof Evergreen architecture, Purity storage services built natively for file (data reduction and multi-protocol for example) and the simplicity in operation that's always been a hallmark for Pure.
