Chaos Engineering to Build Resilient Database Systems

In this webinar, Andy Gower, Director of Product and Solutions Marketing for Portworx by Pure Storage, discusses how to accelerate cloud migration with modern virtualization. Traditional virtualization is at a tipping point, with many customers looking to migrate or modernize their Virtual Machines (VMs) to Kubernetes due to rising costs and a desire for new application stacks.

Gower identifies three main challenges on the storage side when moving to VMs on Kubernetes:
1. Mature and scalable storage:** Portworx provides self-service access to high-performance storage for mission-critical VM workloads.
2. Data management:** Portworx offers an HCI-like experience for managing data from a single control panel, providing consistent day-zero, day-one, and day-two data services.
3. One workflow for containers and VMs:** Portworx helps customers manage applications across on-premises and public cloud environments with a single workflow.

Watch this session to get great insight and learn how Portworx by Pure Storage is delivering a single, modern, app platform for all workloads running anywhere.

Accelerate Cloud Migration with Modern Virtualization Anywhere

Infrastructure owners are constantly pushed to do more with less, but legacy storage eats time and budget like it’s a competitive sport. The Enterprise Data Cloud brings everything under one control plane, automating provisioning, protection, and scaling so operations stop feeling like a ticket factory. Policies handle the grunt work, cutting costs, reducing risk, and keeping governance in check without the clipboard brigade. The result: an agile, resilient foundation that keeps pace with business demands and data growth.

Key Takeaways:

- Kill the sprawl before it drains your budget: Unify silos, redundant copies, and vendors under one control plane that actually scales.
- Stop babysitting your infrastructure: Let policies handle provisioning, scaling, and recovery so your team can get back to work that matters.
- Make resilience part of the solution: Protection, recovery, and compliance stay on by default, no bolt-ons or panic drills required.
- Stay ready without constantly ripping and replacing your infrastructure: Add workloads, meet new demands, and roll in fresh tech without starting from scratch.

Is Your Data Infrastructure Ready for What’s Next in AI?

If the virtualization landscape has you feeling like you’re stuck in a meeting about TPS reports with eight different bosses, you’re not alone. With uncertainty around VMware’s future, many IT leaders are being asked what they’re doing with their virtualization strategy.

Join this satirical but serious TechTalk as we dust off the old “jump to conclusions” mat to explore the four most common “conclusions” enterprises are being asked to evaluate. We’ll cover:
- Staying on VMware - Sticking with the familiar, despite the licensing and support changes.
- Choosing a new hypervisor - Considering alternatives like Proxmox or AHV and their tradeoffs.
- Moving to the cloud - Running your VMs on hyperscale infrastructure like AWS or Azure.
- Modernizing with KubeVirt - Embracing a Kubernetes-native model that supports both VMs and containers.

What would you say your virtualization does here?

Ransomware attacks and large-scale IT disruptions are becoming more frequent, more complex, and more costly. Traditional backup alone can’t keep up. To maintain business continuity in the face of unpredictable threats, organizations need a layered data resilience strategy that leverages secure and resilient storage as a foundation.

Join Jason Walker, Technical Strategy Director at Pure Storage as he shares practical insights on how to prepare for and respond to today’s evolving cyber and disaster scenarios. The session will be hosted by Jason Langer, Senior Technical Evangelist, Pure Storage.

Key takeaways:
- Why traditional data protection often falls short against modern ransomware and disaster scenarios
- What layered data resilience looks like—and how to start building it today
- Best practices to ensure ransomware and disaster readiness.

Preparing for the Next Attack: Building a Stronger Data Resilience Strategy

The cloud offers multiple paths for virtualization. But, which one is right for your organization? Whether you’re leveraging a managed service like Azure VMware Solution or using cloud native VMs, each approach has its trade-offs in cost, control, and complexity.

Discover how to modernize virtual environments in the cloud—in a way that works for you. Join Principal Technologist Valerie Harrison and Principal Technical Product Specialist Kyle Grossmiller as they break down the key differences between managed and DIY cloud virtualization and share how Pure Storage cloud solutions support both strategies.

Together, they’ll cover:

- Architectural trade-offs between managed services (e.g., Azure VMware Solution, AWS Elastic VMware Service) and native VMs in the cloud.
- How to optimize for costs and control with Pure Storage solutions with any cloud strategy.
- How Pure Storage enables flexible, scalable virtualization—no matter how you build in the cloud.

Virtualization in the Cloud: Managed, DIY, or Both?
