Stop Working for your (Unified) Storage: Let It Work for You

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 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.
