What you’ll learn:
- Why you should consider FlashArray for backup storage, even if you still run spinning disk in production
- How Pure & Veeam’s focus on ease-of-use will reduce administrator overhead and reduce TCO
- What “end-to-end” immutability means in practice
- How Pure & Veeam provide industry leading cyber resiliency

End to End Immutability

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.

Unpacking the VMware Acquisition: How Pure Storage Can Help

Many firms historically have viewed regulatory compliance as both a seemingly endless burden and a hindrance to innovation. What if a byproduct of simultaneously satisfying regulations and increasing operational resilience could be creating a significant competitive advantage? What if, indeed! 

Join our experts on June 25 for an information-packed session to explore how organizations like yours can turn compliance efforts into a major competitive advantage. We’ll cover: 

Regulatory compliance, while extremely challenging, can become a formidable forcing function to foster, not stifle, innovation—both on the technical and business side.

Why improving operational resilience is not only a critical component for addressing regulatory challenges, but can simultaneously evolve how data is used and accessed across the enterprise.

Compliance as a Catalyst: Transforming Regulatory Challenges into Opportunities

Telecom networks are the glue of modern life, connecting nearly the entire world. They provide the backbone for ride sharing, social media, gaming, and much more.

Join us for a discussion on what’s happening at VMware and what it means for you and your organization.

In this webinar, we'll cover:


How to navigate the changes at VMware
Various pathways to optimize your VMware, virtualization, and architecture deployments
The future of virtualization and how you can modernize on your terms

The Future of Virtualization: Help Navigating Changes at VMware

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.

Resisting Healthcare Ransomware: Strategies for Payers and Providers

The benefits and ROI of Generative AI for enterprises are clear with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). RAG provides company-specific responses by enhancing generic large language models (LLMs) with proprietary data.

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!

When 1 + 1 = 3: The Outsized Impact of Taking Flash from Niche to Mainstream

Deploying artificial intelligence (AI) within your existing infrastructure poses numerous challenges. From developing the capability to manage vast amounts of AI data to ensuring heightened security for sensitive information, the demands are manifold.
