Love Software? Make Hardware. Behind the Curtain of Pure’s (Hardware) Labs

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!
