What is Pure Protect?

Pure Protect is an on-demand, disaster recovery service for VMware VMs, enabling recovery to either native AWS EC2 instances or a secondary vSphere site. By provisioning recovery VMs only when needed, you significantly lower both costs and complexity compared to traditional disaster recovery solutions.

Pure Protect

Automated cyber recovery with dynamic provisioning

Pure Protect® provides automated, layered resilience to support rapid and reliable, cyber and disaster recovery.

Automated layered resilience without the compromises

Pure Protect removes the roadblocks to cyber and disaster recovery, automating data replication, secure isolated recovery environments (SIRE) provisioning, and disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS).

Fully orchestrated Data Recovery

Unlike other disaster recovery solutions, Pure Protect fully orchestrates virtual machine recovery. With predefined workflows, automatic target provisioning, and regular testing, Pure Protect lets you minimize downtime and ensure business continuity.

Effortless, Non-Disruptive Testing

A cyber or disaster recovery plan is only useful if it works. Pure Protect allows you to easily create an isolated copy of your environment in the cloud for testing at any time, without impacting your live production systems.

Recovery Zones

Pure Protect drastically reduces recovery time by offering complete isolated recovery environments (IREs) on demand. IRE setup includes compute, networking and storage resources.

Additionally, automated provisioning through scripted workflows ensures accurate setup of IREs, speeding deployment, and reducing manual errors.

Be ready for when disaster strikes

Pure Protect enhances your incident response strategy and complements your backups, snapshots, and replication, giving you an extra recovery site for unmatched resilience.

Protect your business from cyberattacks

Be prepared when ransomware strikes with multiple recovery time points to bring up a clean copy of your VMs, while your data centre is locked down for investigation.

Business continuity with cloud-based disaster recovery

Take advantage of flexible deployment options, including on-premises, hybrid, and public cloud models, to meet your unique business needs and ensure seamless continuity.

Disaster recovery testing that’s non-disruptive

Perform testing in an isolated environment, enabling you to identify blind spots without risk to your production systems. Pure Protect also allows you to scale down your VMs for testing, saving you even more.

Recover faster with FlashArray integration

Pure Protect offers integration with FlashArray, allowing you to quickly recover from disasters and minimize downtime.

1. How does Pure Protect keep my data safe?

We store only VM metadata in the Pure1® cloud. All customer data remains fully under the customer’s control, residing either on their on-premises VMware environment or within their own AWS account.

2. My VMware VMs are stored on another vendor’s storage. Can I still use Pure Protect?

Yes. Pure Protect is designed to work with VMware VMs regardless of the underlying storage vendor. While it is optimised for the Pure Storage FlashArray, Pure Protect also leverages VMware’s vStorage APIs for Data Protection (VADP) for VMs on other hardware, making it fully storage-agnostic.

3. Is Pure Protect a fully managed service?

Pure Protect orchestrates disaster recovery by utilizing either a secondary VMware site or your AWS organisation for failover and storage. To enable this, you will need to deploy a VM appliance on-premises, which is centrally managed through Pure Protect. While Pure Protect streamlines management and orchestration, you are still responsible for managing your AWS account, secondary VMware site, and any associated costs incurred throughout your use of the Pure Protect service.

4. Can Pure Protect benefit from FlashArray?

While Pure Protect is storage agnostic, our integration with Pure Storage FlashArray provides lower SLA for those critical VM applications.
