Beyond the Protocols: Pure’s File & Object Vision

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.

This month, host Andrew Miller welcomes his peer Principal Technologist Sean Kennedy to the Coffee Break. We’ll first explore Sean’s background as he’s been wandering around the datacenter for 25+ years - exploring a few career tips such as how you too can win an Olympic medal. After that, we’ll chat through Pure’s File & Object Vision including:

• A Brief Industry History of SMB, NFS, and how that lead into Object (S3 & others)
• Pure’s Innovation in this space with FlashBlade & FlashArray - building on Pure’s core architectural simplicity
  
• Do you Buy or Build a file protocol stack? The answer is yes!
  
• Why Pure Continues to Make Significant Investments in this space
  

For joining us, we’ll send you a $10 Starbucks egift card after the event. Also, one lucky attendee will win a Copper Edition Ember 10oz. Mug (valued at $130)! See Terms and Conditions.

The team will stay on after the webinar answering any questions for those that want to stay longer!
