2024 public cloud adoption continues to trend in a strong fashion, as recent Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) research shows that only 12% of mid-large enterprises are not using any form of public cloud. With a digital infrastructure operating model and cost elasticity, public cloud offers consistent benefits.

Nonetheless, organizations often face cost and performance challenges as they look to scale their public cloud deployments. In response, the industry is developing new and innovative solutions that aim to bring enterprise-class capabilities to the public cloud – one such example is Pure Storage’s Cloud Block Store for the Azure VMware Solution (AVS).

In this custom ESG webinar, Principal Analyst of Storage and HCI Simon Robinson joins Cody Hosterman from Pure Storage, Microsoft’s Husam Hilal, and Jason Massae from VMware to evaluate the current state of cloud adoption and offer guidance on navigating common challenges. 

Register today or join the discussion on March 28th at 1pm EST as the experts also spotlight the impact of the distributed hybrid cloud, the need for external hybrid storage solutions, and customer successes with Pure Cloud Block Storage.

Enterprise Strategy Group Talk: Experts Address Cloud Adoption Challenges

When your data and applications are offline, your organization faces significant losses – in time, money, even reputation. Legacy storage is often the culprit, but newer technologies like Pure Storage were designed to stay online, even during upgrades. Learn how you can overcome downtime and increase agility with the right infrastructure.

In this webinar, you will learn:

- How to keep your data available and performing at its peak, no matter what changes come
- Tips to cut downtime
- Why IT agility is essential – and achievable

What Can Non-Disruptive Storage Do For You?

This month, host Andrew Miller welcomes Jason Walker, Global Practice Lead for Modern Data Protection, back as a guest (he’s also a great guest host). While we'll doubtless have some 80’s movie references, we’ll dive into the expansive landscape that is all things Modern Data Protection - it’s far more than just backups.

We’ll cover:

- Tracking Trends through History - how trends in application and IT overall drove constant changes in the backup and recovery landscape. This would also be known as “how did we get here?“.
- Change Velocity - recent Twists & Turns - shifts toward simplicity, cloud protection and enablement, ransomware mitigation, and more. The velocity of change around protecting your data only keeps increasing.
- Choose Your Own Adventure (with Pure) - we’ll wander through scenario driven approaches (RPO, RTO, security, ransomware, and more) to illustrate how the Pure portfolio can address more of your data protection and resiliency needs than you might think.
Need fast restore? Need low cost? Need protection from compromised administrative credentials? Need to deal with rapid data growth? Too much data to backup?
All these themes and more!
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!

Choose your Own (Restore) Adventure: Pure’s Modern Cyber Resiliency Portfolio

This is a follow up discussion of the Boldly Go Engage event. The three speakers, Erin, Eric & Dave continued their discussion on Cloud Operating model.

We hope you enjoyed our first discussion from our event, Boldly Go: The Next Generation of Data Storage. And if we left you wanting more, here’s your chance! With so much to cover on the topic of the benefits and challenges of the cloud, our panelists, Erin, Eric, and Dave, continue their engaging discussion around cloud strategies, and share their insights on:

Trends around the merging of file and object
Controlling costs in the cloud
Advantages to operating like the cloud
The future of cloud and what will come next

Boldly Go - the Discussion Continues

Developers have upgraded to infrastructure in the cloud, but cloud can be costly. And IT is footing the bill.

That’s why Pure Storage is “boldly going” where no one has gone before—bringing the cloud operating model anywhere, with software-defined storage and storage-as-a-service.

Join us for our event, Boldly Go: The Next Generation of Data Storage to see the next frontier where IT has all the benefits of the cloud on-premises—and developers have the freedom to seamlessly deploy applications. You’ll discover how to:
Gain the benefits of the cloud on-premises, with easier management, flexibility, and fast provisioning.
Create a seamless experience for your developers, no matter where they deploy their applications.
Manage all your infrastructure from a single platform, and pay as you go with subscription pricing that meets your needs.

With ransomware attacks on the rise, your organization must be prepared. To defend against ransomware, it’s important to understand how hackers operate. Then, use your knowledge to develop a strategy that details the actions to take before, during, and after an attack.
Hector Monsegur—a former black hat and member of the LulzSec and Anonymous hacking collectives—shares his insights and tips to help you safeguard your data. 
Learn:
● What steps to take to prevent an attack or minimize data loss should one occur
● How to recognize attacks and what to do if you detect one in progress
● How to quickly recover and restore your data after an attack

The Hacker’s Guide to Ransomware Mitigation

For IT and security leaders, Tiered Resiliency is the order of the day. As data explodes and sprawls across silos, users work in more places, and containerization reshapes the environment, successful cyberattacks become more likely than ever—perhaps even inevitable. That makes it essential to look beyond cyberdefense and focus on how you’ll keep your data protected no matter what happens.
Join Pure Storage CTO of Americas Andy Stone and Commvault CTO of Security Alex Janas for this session to learn how Tiered Resiliency is redefining modern data protection. Designed for an environment of escalating risk, a tiered resiliency architecture can help you recover data quickly and effectively in the event of a cyberattack, disaster, or administrative accident—so you can get back to business fast.

In the world of alpha generating trading strategies, data has and will continue to be gold, but how one transforms data in its seemingly limitless sources is what sets things apart.  Join us as we speak to the value Time Series Databases (TSDBs) + Pure brings to the Financial Sector and enabling firms to remain creative and competitive as the trading landscape continuously evolves.

During our webinar we’ll discuss:
- How this unique data can enhance or hinder a firm’s ability to generate alpha
- How TSDBs + Pure enables scientists and traders to be agile in the development, testing and launching of trading strategies / models.
- How to cost effectively utilize previously inaccessible historical TSDB data. 
- How this space will evolve in the next 3-5 years

The Alchemy of Transforming Data to Alpha with Time Series Databases

Data is the new oil, but raw data is not valuable. It needs to be cleaned and augmented to be useful. 
While everyone wants to get the most out of their data with AI, it can be slow and painful to prepare the data, train your models, and create checkpoints at scale. 

This requires new technologies and collaboration between teams to go from raw data to business outcomes. 

Join Markus Grau, JB Thomas, and Michael Kaspers to hear about their first-hand experience tackling these challenges.
