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 November, host Andrew Miller has invited Lou Chiorazzi (Senior Director, Global Professional Services) and Dmitri Filenko (Director for Pure’s Migration Center of Excellence) to the Coffee Break.
For better or worse (you decide), even the simplest products often need business consulting and professional services wrapped around them to move from “product to solution”...if only because today’s datacenters, clouds, and org charts aren’t simple either. Success requires People, Process, AND Technology and after all.
As well, even if migrating to Pure is your last migration, you still have to navigate through said migration - something you may not have done in years. A solid migration, well-executed migration plan is critical to delivering on the ROI/TCO promised to the business after all.
Thanks to Lou and Dmitri’s background, this month we’ll explore:
- Navigating from Customer to Partner/Vendor in the Professional Services space - some of Lou and Dmitri’s background and career lessons.
- Migration Center of Excellence Principles - whether working with Pure or not, there are key principles when it comes to successful migrations especially at scale. Real world stories here albeit wholly anonymized.
- Pure’s Professional Services Philosophy and Overview - if Pure is so simple, are professional services needed? Let’s answer that question theoretically AND practically.
- Your Last Migration - how Pure specifically approaches migrations along with our partners.

When Evergreen Dreams Meet Migration Realities: Professional Services and You

As businesses operationalize Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives, an increased focus on the importance of sustainability and energy efficiency is transforming IT purchase decisions.

Whether you’re trying to increase efficiency in IT or security operations, improve customer experience through real-time insights, or drive competitive success via sales and marketing performance metrics, the need for modern analytics environments is clear. What's less clear, however, is the impact data infrastructure choices can have on the effectiveness of these tasks and processes. The existence of massive amounts of critical data is a given; the availability, access, and usefulness of the data is not. 

In this webinar, learn how problems crop up while trying to scale analytics environments as your needs grow in volume and variety. Find out why your storage platform is foundational to how quickly you can mine data for insights and how easily you can provision for growing petabytes. Discover how Pure Storage can help your organization gain value from all your data housed across the enterprise, to simplify data pipelines and speed up time to insights with cloud-like agility.

It's been (unscientifically) observed that over 90% of today's SQL Servers are virtualized on VMware.  As such, DBAs and virtualization admins interact regularly to deal with a variety of challenges. Enter VMware Virtual Volumes (vVols), which changes the game for virtualized storage, not only for the virtualization admin but for the DBA as well!

Join Pure Storage VMware and SQL experts for an exploration of VMware vVols, MS SQL Server, and Pure Storage FlashArray. The webinar walks through real-world scenarios, demoing the granularity advantages of vVols, near-instantaneous copy data management with vVols + Pure Storage snapshots, and the ease of disaster recovery with vVols.

When you leave, you'll have gained a new appreciation for the benefits of vVols + Pure Storage's vSphere integration, and hopefully enjoyed a few laughs along the way.
