Who knew that the best coffee break conversations would end up happening online? Each month, Pure’s Coffee Break series invites experts in technology and business to chat about the themes driving today’s IT agenda - much more ‘podcast’ than ‘webinar’. 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 technology, our goal is to educate and entertain rather than sell.

For March, host Andrew Miller invites Sandeep Phadke, Director of Product Management, to the Coffee Break. While Sandeep has a storage background, for years now he’s been focused on Predictive Analytics, Deep Neural Network Compression, and more.

During this webinar, we’ll explore:

- Stories with Sandeep - how he has worked on AI, ML, Predictive Analytics, and more in various industries before joining Pure.
- Industry Perspective - sometimes AI/ML projects are nothing more than a FOMO exercise….so what’s the reality?
- Pure1 - helping drive a more consistent, proactive, AI-driven customer experience via So. Much. Data.

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

For January, let’s embrace the Merriam-Webster 2022 Word of the Year - gaslighting - but with a positive spin. This month host Andrew Miller invites back a return guest - Brian Gold (both a literal rocket scientist and also the professor you enjoyed listening to) - to explore how Pure’s Better Science enables up to 1) 80% energy savings, 2) 96% less space required, and 3) dramatically higher storage density - all with 4) much longer equipment lifetime (3x lower DirectFlash module failure rates than SSD’s). Yes, we realize it’s almost hard to believe.
As always, we’ll keep it educational and start by exploring the industry landscape, how flash / NAND works at a low level, and then move into Pure’s engineering advantage and application at scale.

Tired of Energy Savings & Efficiency “Gas”lighting? Better Science is the Answer

The data center is not going away. Organizations are looking to have, on average, more data centers in the future than they do today. But few businesses want to manage them anymore.

The most agile infrastructure, combined with the most flexible consumption choices, will equal the best option for most organizations.

IT decision-makers should look at the bigger picture in regard to where they’re trying to take their IT function in general—. not just in terms of infrastructure, but in terms of the overall evolution of their operation to make it less reactive, more proactive, and better built to support a digital business.

Join the conversation with Scott Sinclair from ESG to learn how to select the best consumption model to meet your current needs, which will also grow with you to accommodate your future goals.

Resilience plans are designed to help organizations adapt quickly to risks and disruptions, while maintaining key business workflows and safeguarding data, assets, and brand reputation. They ensure that businesses remain working regardless of external factors. While these plans are an essential part of protecting your business, sometimes knowing where to start is the hardest part.

Join Recovery Point and Pure Storage, as our experts outline the essential steps and considerations for building a business resilience plan. The session will answer the following questions:
— What are the basic building blocks of a business resilience and disaster recovery plan?
— How should DR testing be performed? And how often?
— How do DR plans prepare organizations for a ransomware attack?
— What problems are solved with a DR plan?
— What roles can Recovery Point and Pure Storage play in a successful DR plan?

We’ll also highlight client successes around:
—Building a plan from scratch
—Testing repeatedly and making continuous improvements
—Avoiding a crisis through a successful DR plan execution when it mattered most

Steps and Considerations to Build a Successful Business Resilience Plan

Ransomware attacks have become such a common occurrence that it’s no longer if your business will be hit, it’s a matter of when. Cyber attacks are so pervasive that an attack happens every 11 seconds. By 2031, it’s expected that an attack will occur every 3 seconds, ballooning the total damages caused by malware, including downtime costs, recovery time, and lost revenues, to grow by 15% per year over the next five years.

Join Andrew Miller, Principal Technologist at Pure Storage, as he shares how your organization can protect itself before, during and after a Ransomware attack. Andrew will walk through the Anatomy of a Ransomware Attack, Defense in Depth measures, and then how Pure can help. Whether or not you’re a Pure Storage customer, we believe you’ll find this session educational both around the ransomware landscape and defense principles.

Before, During and After a Ransomware Attack: A Resilience Strategy

This month, host Andrew Miller welcomes Andy Stone, Pure’s Field CTO and previously a CTO/CISO/white hat hacker, to discuss how to protect yourself Before, During and After a ransomware attack.

We’ll spend more than half the time exploring the evolving ransomware threat landscape + general Defense in Depth principles before moving into Pure’s unique Trifecta of ransomware attack mitigation. Whether a Pure customer or not, we hope to provide information you’ll find useful in combating this evolving threat.

Escaping Ransomware Jail: Protection Before, During, and After an Attack

We’re all human…meaning we all care about healthcare. Pure does too - it’s one of our most developed solution areas with many customers. That’s why Josh Gluck joined Pure 4+ years ago - he’s both Pure’s VP of Global Healthcare Technology Strategy and a previous Pure customer both as a CIO and Technology Director for years. As well, he’s spent some of his career living in the Financials space (something else we all care about).
We’ll explore Josh’s background (and stories!) as a healthcare CIO and Technology Director and then wander into all the ways that Pure helps both healthcare and financial organizations. As always, we’ll make sure to make broader applications - some trends are more prevalent in healthcare and finance but they apply to the industry at large as well.

Ransomware is by no means a new topic, but is relevant nonetheless, due to the continued prevalence with which bad actors engage in ransomware campaigns. As we enter the new year, the threat of ransomware attacks is certainly evolving, and new trends emerge. But what are these ransomware trends and how can you safeguard data against new attack vectors?

In this upcoming fireside chat during BrightTALK’s Ransomware Summit, Pure Storage Principal Technologist, Andrew Miller, and Towerwall CEO, Michelle Drolet, will sit down to discuss ransomware’s latest, looking into current attack trends, and providing insight into the importance of ransomware resiliency.

Tune in live for the full webcast and see what industry experts have to say about the state of ransomware, why building a resilient architecture is important, and how Pure Storage is helping customers respond and recover from attacks.

As more operations are digitized and organizations embrace the cloud, it is no surprise that data growth is rampant. To address this, many companies have been scaling up their processing bandwidth — but they haven’t established an efficient process for organizing this proliferation of data. Without a comprehensive management system, excess data can drain resources and productivity as employees struggle to track and organize information.

It’s not only a storage issue, but a quality problem. On top of the volume of newly produced data, companies are amassing duplicates of the data for use in backups, analytics, testing and development. While these copies can be valuable, poor handling can lead to silos and communication gaps. Organizations cannot expect to streamline operations and maximize their data insights until they have committed to a clear process for data re-use, that tackles data compression, thin provisioning, and deduplication.

In this webinar from Pure Storage and ESG, industry experts will break down the different hurdles of data management and illuminate a path forward. 

Tune in to learn more about:
The dangers of data floods and where your company may be vulnerable
How to leverage snapshots and clones without consuming additional storage
Why strong data management is also a boost to your cybersecurity
And much more
