Welcome back to Accelerate day 2. Yesterday was an incredible day. We talked about the enterprise data cloud platform. We talked about the intelligent control plane. We talked about enhancements in Evergreen one.
00:19
Today I want to take things to the next level. I want to help us all think beyond the box. Because what I would propose to you is You know, clients and prospects always say, you know, what's the silver bullet of pure? What's the one thing you're gonna do in my environment that's going to change everything?
00:41
And what I want to help you all understand today is There is no silver bullet Every one of you in this room who has dealt with traditional legacy vendors. Is actually suffering from death by 1000 cuts. And it's actually the combination of those processes, the people, the time, the risk that are actually sabotaging your environment.
01:08
So let's talk about that. Let's spend about 10 minutes talking about where those workflows are and how pure helps you overcome them and actually drive the maximum level of efficiency. So think with me if you will. Let's imagine a scenario.
01:26
It's 9:42 p.m. It's Friday. It's a holiday weekend. A routine upgrade freezes one of your critical business workflows. Payments queue, debt scramble. Helpdesk lights up.
01:42
Penalties start and the clock ticks. Adding more risks to this, let's not forget the data doubles every 2 years. So the complexity of issues continue to go up. And then we had clouds, we go to hybrid cloud, we had Amazon, we had Google, we had Azure, and every cloud and every copy is adding cracks to the hole.
02:07
Many of you in this room have lived this before. I would tell you the iceberg isn't the head. You're already scraping it. And with data doubling every 2 years. The answer is no longer I need more people.
02:24
We have to find a way to drive efficiency across time, money, all while minimizing risk. The fact is, let's be clear, your infrastructure isn't broken. It's silently bleeding. And each workflow, as you'll see up here, is adding hidden cost and risk.
02:46
Now let me be clear, this isn't every customer's cost. This isn't every organization's risk, but this is a high level view of what other customers have told us is involved. And by the way, back to my death by 1000 cuts point, realize. This is for every single storage array.
03:04
So this is on an each. Multiplier provisioning taking 10 days, $13,000. Sharing capacity data with a whole bunch of people that may or may not need that. Performance management and monitoring, every new application that comes on board, taking 6 days, costing $6500 just to set up.
03:26
And then upgrades and refreshes. $20,000 per cycle. Remember, none of this includes the hardware. This is your time, your people. And your organization that is going through this painful and painful process on an ongoing basis.
03:42
Then we have data life cycle management because you know what, compliance and governance are only becoming more and more of a burden. And lastly, climate integration and mobility. Because we're being asked to let applications live where they're best suited, and data gravity is a real thing.
04:04
Folks, I'll propose to you that this isn't about boxes. It's operational sprawl, too many tools, too many copies, too many hands. We go through this copy, convert, clerical, repeat over and over and over again, and although some of it's hidden to our highest level executives,
04:22
it's painful for all of you. And it's operational debt that's accumulating like compound interest. Across all of this, the data keeps growing. We're asked to put on new workloads, implement new tools. We have new demands.
04:40
AI is obviously a big piece of that. We look to the cloud to give us extensibility, but the fact is your team's already stretched thin, so you on board new people to deal with the burden, but more people equals more coordination equals more process. With every step forward, feeling like a step back.
05:00
See, the problem is an effort. All of you work as hard as you possibly can. It's complexity, because the more you add, the heavier it gets. And even with more people, you keep sliding back. This is a Sisyphean battle.
05:15
We push the rock forward, the rock falls back. We push another rock a little bit more forward with another person, the rock falls back, because it's not scale, it's struggle. And it's not a storage problem. It's a data management problem.
05:30
And this problem needs a platform to automate and consolidate. Enter Pure's Enterprise Data Cloud. Charlie unveiled this in a remarkable way yesterday. It was very clear that EDC is not a product. It's an operating model.
05:47
And it's rooted in pure's commitment to intuitive operations, converting fragmented workflows to efficiency. With services delivered by policy, not tickets. So all of you in this room can start managing your data. And not worrying about your infrastructure.
06:07
So what does this look like? Well, provisioning now becomes consistent and automated and delivered in minutes, not days. Performance management becomes proactive with no escalations. Upgrades become self-service on your time with no downtime. And guaranteed headroom to help support your
06:30
growth, even when it's unexpected. Data protection becomes covered by policy with instant recovery. And cloud mobility becomes seamless with full cost clarity, policy-driven placement. Folks, this is a new paradigm for managing data.
06:49
And if I look at some of the customers out there who've taken advantage of this, ServiceNow is a very strategic customer for Pure, and they've scaled to support 5 times their workload growth with only 2 times the infrastructure. And in doing so, they managed all that growth 100% non-disruptively with Pure EDC being a major driver of their overall efficiency.
07:11
And all of this delivered with 6 9s of availability over many, many years. How about Health edge? 70% smaller data center footprint by moving to pure. But most importantly, 99% of their time savings related to database updates. They're able to recover 71% faster.
07:35
Folks, this isn't a roadmap. This is a reality and much of it available today. So here's my challenge to you. Get out your phones. Scan this QR code.
07:47
Pick your toughest workflow. Lay it on us. Let's look at where these death by 1000 cuts are happening today and book a 90 minute process to platform workshop. We'll take the action today and you'll go home knowing that you left Accelerate with a very clear and definable next step.
08:06
We'll map the workflow, we'll simplify it, and we'll prove it on your site within 60 days. Does that sound exciting? So folks, keep in mind, today we talked about 5 workflows, 5 saboteurs, and 1 platform. We talked about how the enterprise data cloud takes you beyond the box with not just faster storage, but a better way to manage your data state.
08:36
We talked about how the enterprise data cloud gives you radar, autopilot, and a brand new hull, allowing you to sail confidently into the seas ahead. Thank you and enjoy the rest of the show.
