Unpacking the VMware Acquisition: How Pure Storage Can Help

For the June Coffee Break, we’re in double-bonus territory with both Cody Hosterman, Senior Director of Product Management for Cloud and David Stamen, Enterprise Technology Strategy Director who will walk through a topic that is top of mind for almost every customer we meet—the impact of the VMware acquisition and the shifting virtualization landscape. We realize this is a challenging topic for many, so we’ll do our best to provide candid analysis. We’ll also highlight how Pure Storage can help as we walk through: - Virtualization Landscape: Five years ago, no one would have predicted the news of the last 24 months. We’ll discuss recent shifts both on-prem and in the public cloud—being candid without being negative. - VMware and Pure Storage: Whether on-prem with many integrations or in the cloud with a leading partnership with Azure VMware Solution or other areas, Pure Storage has maintained a leading position for VMware shops and a strong partnership with VMware and now Broadcom. We’ll explore the classic value plus new developments. - Alternate Options and Pure Storage: Looking to preserve (or add) Pure Storage simplicity + Evergreen® approach while thinking about OpenStack? Kubevirt? Hyper-V? Other options? This section is for you. As always, we’ll keep it educational while exploring how Pure Storage offers capabilities and products that benefit you. The team will stay on after the webinar to answer any questions. About the Pure Storage Coffee Break Series: Each month, we invite experts in technology and business to chat about the themes driving today’s IT agenda. This is no webinar or training session—it’s a freewheeling conversation that’s as fun as it is informative and the perfect way to break up your day. While we’ll wander into Pure Storage technology, our goal is to educate and entertain, rather than sell.
