Deep Dive: Hybrid Made Easy with Cloud Data Services

We are headed to a world of hybrid applications that run seamlessly across private and public cloud environments but inconsistencies in the storage layer on-premises and in public cloud pose a major challenge to building such applications. With Pure Storage Cloud Block Store and Pure’s cloud data infrastructure, you can deliver fast, shared data, with consistent data services and APIs, everywhere your applications run. It is now possible to develop applications once and deploy them anywhere across your on-premises and third party clouds with ease. Purity CloudSnap™ delivers cloud backup and efficient array- and volume-level recovery that’s not only effortless, but cost-effective. It lowers bandwidth usage with portable snapshots and gives you the flexibility to extend Purity snapshots to a host of new off-FlashArray destinations – all managed seamlessly with Purity’s protection policies. Meet Kunal Kapoor, Product Manager for Pure Storage Cloud Data Services to learn about: - How Cloud Block Store makes cloud storage better - How consistencies in the storage layer can enable hybrid mobility - How CloudSnap makes backup and recovery simple, efficient and flexible - What new use cases you can unlock with unified hybrid operations About the speaker: Kunal Kapoor is Director Product Management responsible for Cloud integrations at Pure Storage. Besides cloud, he has been actively involved in bringing some key core features on the FlashArray to market (security, file services and replication innovations being some key areas he has contributed to in a significant fashion). Before coming to Pure, Kunal had various lead product management roles as well as Engineering roles focused on core storage, cloud and networking domains. Kunal holds a Masters in Computer Science from UMASS as well as a MBA focused on Global Strategy from Babson.
