Plans? Useless. Planning? Indispensable. Storage as a Service & 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 May, host Andrew Miller invites John Brett, Subscription Director at Pure and previous long time customer executive, to the Coffee Break to explore the increasingly unpredictable nature of business and customer demands and how he’s navigated this landscape for 20+ years. As Dwight Eisenhower said, “plans are useless, but planning is indispensable.” This month we’ll explore: Storage as a Service - It’s evolution over time focusing on claims made in the past, what’s actually real, and how the market is progressing. Market Comprehension Principles - Principles to help understand and evaluate the storage as a service market. Focus on the Outcomes - Pure’s perspective on & offerings in the Storage as a Service market New Offerings & Updates - How Evergreen//One and Evergreen//Flex keep evolving based on your feedback. As always, we’ll keep it educational while exploring how Pure is offering capabilities and products that benefit you.
