ure Storage, a data solutions leader
delivering a modern data experience,
has announced major additions to
its Cloud Data Services portfolio that helps
customers more impactfully deploy hybrid
clouds. These solutions enable portability
of applications to and from Amazon Web
Services (AWS) with minimal re-architecture
and allow customers to leverage public cloud
economics for any use case.
“Private and public cloud storage too often
operate in separate worlds,” said Rob Lee,
Chief Architect, Pure Storage. “As more and
more customers adopt hybrid cloud, it’s
critical that their infrastructure is optimised
for data mobility. Pure’s Cloud Data Services
exist to bridge the divide for customers and
deliver the full value of data across any
project or initiative.”
offers rapid recovery on-premises, or in the
cloud to Cloud Block Store, to help customers
meet demanding service level agreements
(SLAs) and compliance policies with array
and volume-level recovery that is both easy
and cost-effective.
With these significant additions to its
portfolio, Pure aims to match its customers’
vision as the majority of enterprises embrace
a hybrid cloud model with data that lives
both on-and-off-premises.
“Pure has made a number of key product
launches and acquisitions to fill out its vision
around cloud, and create solutions that
maximise the strategic impact of customer
data across a diverse ecosystem of tools
which makes today’s environments difficult-
to-navigate,” said Henry Baltazar, Research
Vice President. 451 Research.
“Consistent data insight and data
movement continue to be major challenges
for organisations today, especially as they
try to navigate between multiple public and
private clouds to put their data to work.
Pure’s latest cloud services are designed
to improve the resiliency and accessibility
of this data in these modern multi-cloud
environments which are becoming
increasingly complex.” n
