Solutions designed to accelerate hybrid cloud deployments and optimize customersโ VMware investments include:
vSphere Virtual Volumes as principal storage for VMware Cloud Foundation.ย VMware and Pure enable vSphere Virtual Volumes as Principal storage for VMware Cloud Foundation. Customers can now realize the value of Pure Storage and vSphere Virtual Volumes natively within VMware Cloud Foundation. FlashStackโข delivers the performance, availability, and economics required for a VMware Cloud Foundation hybrid cloud in a single architecture, with the simplicity of integrated application to infrastructure management.
Support for vSphere Virtual Volumes storage with Site Recovery Manager.ย Modern data protection is a critical component for any VMware deployment including those leveraging vSphere Virtual Volumes on Pure. For VMware infrastructure, VMware Site Recovery Manager provides an enterprise solution for automated disaster recovery. As the leader in vSphere Virtual Volumes storage, Pure co-engineered the integration of vSphere Virtual Volumes with SRM. This allows enterprises to consume vSphere Virtual Volumes on Pure while protecting their mission critical applications from disaster.
VMware Tanzu and container integration.ย Pure is a VMware Design Partner for the Cloud Native Storage and vSphere Virtual Volumes programs, providing persistent storage that enables true hybrid cloud mobility for containers running on VMware. Cloud Native Storage and vSphere Virtual Volumes enable workloads in Kubernetes environments to utilize Pure FlashArrayโข as CSI-compliant persistent storage, bringing world-class all-flash performance and data services to containerized applications in addition to VMware vSphere environments.
NVMe-oF with vSphere 7.ย Pure is VMwareโs Design Partner for modern data fabric support on vSphere. With vSphere 7, VMware and Pure have worked to provide native end-to-end support for NVMe over Fabrics (NVME-oF) using Pureโs DirectFlashยฎ Fabric. NVMe is a revolution in the storage world, providing lower latency and higher throughput than legacy SCSI devices. This capability unleashes the raw performance of the Pure FlashArray and maximizes performance density in the data center. Mutual customers can enjoy a modern data experience that maximizes the performance and consolidation of critical applications, VMs, and containers.
โPure and VMware deliver well-executed technologies, have strong partnerships with each other and their customers, and continue to focus on improving and providing more value to technical teams,โ said Joe Palmer, Infrastructure Manager, Farm Bureau Insurance of Michigan. โThese benefits have allowed us to move forward with a multitude of projects without the worries a lot of other organizations have with questions like: 'is it big enough or is it fast enough or will it even work?' Our technical teams can focus on providing the solutions to the problems, and VMware and Pure technologies allow our teams to do that easily, effectively, and without an army of people.โ
Atย VMworld 2020, Pure will virtually present its solutions and integrations with VMware Cloud Foundation, Kubernetes including VMware Tanzu, NVMe-oF, and more. Learn more about these new capabilities and integrations by visiting:ย
