Telcos Becoming Tech-cos: From Connectivity to Services

Leading healthcare payers and providers are moving forward on a digital agenda that spans from omnichannel consumer services to improved patient care, and back-office analytics with AI-enhanced operations. These initiatives rely on ever-increasing amounts of data that must be protected. At the same time, digital service offerings can increase the attack surface for hackers and ransomware. What to do? 

While storage may not be the first thing you think of when considering data security, it’s both the last line of defense and a critical piece of infrastructure you’ll need to restore services. Join this webinar to learn about the three-phase approach to protection from Pure Storage.   

Before an attack: a range of built-in data protection services plus backup vendor integrations protect data. AI helps detect anomalies and assess protection levels.
During an attack: immutable data snapshots keep recovery copies secure during an attack or other data loss event. 
After an attack: rapid recovery capabilities restore services quickly. The Pure Ransomware Recovery SLA guarantees delivery of clean arrays, accelerating recovery while preserving affected systems for internal or external analysis.

Healthcare payers and providers can’t afford to have anything less than the best possible data protection. Learn how to achieve your security goals with Pure Storage.

BE THE CHANGE: Sustainable Data Centers and The Future of Storage

This month, host Andrew Miller welcomes back Justin Emerson, Principal Technical Product Specialist AND also “Flash Man” (according to his internal Slack profile). You may remember Justin from last year’s discussion around the launch of FlashBlade //E and the Better Science that allowed its creation.

We’ll continue that conversation and leverage Justin & Andrew’s customer and partner background to broaden the discussion to some larger industry “armchair analyst” perspective covering:

From Niche to Mass Adoption - how great technologies and platforms start, germinate, and then seemingly suddenly hit mass adoption. We’ll explore Crossing the Chasm, the Hype Cycle, and other concepts we wish we’d understood better when we were customers when deciding technology strategy.

When Flash Goes Everywhere! - building on the FlashBlade //E discussion from Justin’s last appearance, we’ll cover what these concepts mean for flash, the FlashArray //E introduction, and how the //E family only exists because of Pure’s unique flash optimization capabilities. Yes, this might be a bit more Better Science depth.

A Different Company - how the //E family (FlashArray & FlashBlade) has morphed Pure into a different company than even just several years ago…and how that benefits you more than you might expect.

Clue: it’s similar to the “network effect” - the same capabilities we’ve discussed for 40 Coffee Breaks but across your whole data center and cloud can provide outsize benefits.

As always, we’ll keep it educational while exploring how Pure is offering capabilities and products that benefit you. The team will stay on after the webinar answering any questions for those that want to stay longer!
