Pure Storage (NYSE:  PSTG) accelerates possible, transforming businesses in ways previously unimagined. The company's disruptive, software-driven storage technology combined with a customer-friendly business model drives business and IT transformation for customers through dramatic increases in performance and efficiency at lower costs. Visit www.purestorage.com to learn more.

Today’s data centers are power-hungry. They consume up to 3% of the world’s total energy usage, and your storage can be up to 25% of the total energy costs of data centers today. Any ability to reduce energy consumption while keeping up with performance SLAs and data growth requirements is a significant balancing act. Learn how Pure Storage, with its recently announced new FlashArray R4 releases, targets this need for extreme efficiency while continuing to provide the performance and density to support your critical growth needs. In this webinar, you will learn:
• Pure Storage’s latest advances in flash storage systems to drive extreme efficiency.
• How Pure Storage is able to deliver an all-flash system at the acquisition cost of 7200 RPM HDD storage. 
• The simplicity and efficiency benefits that arise from an ultra-dense all-flash data center approach.
• Critical recent advancements from Pure Storage in the fight against ransomware.

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 July, host Andrew Miller invites Pete Kirkpatrick (VP of Engineering & Chief Platform Architect, Platform) to the Coffee Break to explore his 10 years at Pure and relentless pursuit of leveraging core industry standards and technologies in ways you might not expect.

This month we’ll explore:
- Pete’s History at Pure - how he came to Pure and why he’s stayed.
- TLC, QLC, NVMe, PCIe, Optane - say what? All the different trends and technologies Pete’s evaluated over the years, what worked, and what hasn’t.
- DirectFlash - why it isn’t crazy for Pure to make our own flash modules instead of buying SSD’s.
- Recent platform hardware releases and the story behind each - FlashArray //XL, FlashBlade //S, FlashBlade //E, 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!

Replication Manager for Virtual Volumes (vVols) is the newest feature added in the latest edition of the vSphere Plugin, 5.2.0, to simplify the management of vVols replication. During this talk we will demonstrate how you can put this new feature to; failover, failback, and re-sync replication groups through the plugin and a simple set of mouse clicks.

In this webinar, we will discuss:

Latest VMware Plugin from Pure introduces some amazing new vVols capabilities.
Policy based replication is easy to set up and manage.
Testing, migrations, and failovers are all easy to manage, using the plugin UI or via scripted methods.

It's May 2023, and believe it or not, some of the flagship features in Microsoft's latest version still aren't ready for prime time yet. Good news, though: there are a few things that genuinely make your life easier with minimal work required on your part.
Forget rewriting code, though - in this session, Brent Ozar will show what to turn on to determine:
- When to migrate to SQL Server 2022
- What metrics to watch
- Which dials to turn to make SQL Server faster

For June, host Andrew Miller invites Jonathan Carnes, Principal Product Manager at Pure and previous customer, to the Coffee Break to explore all things file, unified storage, and Pure’s approach in the unified block + file space.

This month we’ll explore:

- Jon’s History in the File Space - lessons learned and principles he’s brought with him into the current role. At times he’s felt like he’s living the IT version of “Planes, Trains, and Automobiles”.
- We might even have some “aged like fine wine” Netware jokes.
- Time Machine time - we’ll wander through the history of Unified Block & File Storage
- Pure’s Approach to Unified Storage - we’re taking a different approach. Let’s talk about the “why” respectfully (we all stand on the shoulders of giants after all) but highlight how our approach is different.
- As well, ever heard of that Evergreen reduces or removes data migrations forever? On block that’s nice…but for file incredibly more impactful. File migrations can be…painful. Avoiding them? Priceless.
- New Developments from Pure - we’re not standing still. Let’s explore recently announced features capabilities - most prominently NFS support for VMware environments and expanded use case support based on real engineering work.
As always, we’ll keep it educational while exploring how Pure is offering capabilities and products that benefit you.
