The intrepid Unplugged crew returns for an exciting Volume 14 where Andrew Miller, JD Wallace and I take on another of Pure's architectural decisions - this time we dig deep into the use of Metadata in the software stack. The extensive use of Metadata enables FlashArray to deliver efficiency across data reduction, compacting, and snapshot capabilities. We also riff on experience at the latest activities - VMware Explore and a fun disk retirement webinar roast. Plus, get a preview of upcoming industry events where you can engage with Pure.
