Pure Storage, the advanced storage technologies and services company, has announced new capabilities on its platform for business and IT leaders to improve their ability to deploy AI, modernise their applications, and improve cyber resilience.
The platform’s innovations include Pure Fusion, the first-of-its-kind storage automation that unifies arrays and optimises storage pools on the fly for structured and unstructured data, on-premises and in the cloud. Embedded into the Purity operating environment, designed to improve over time via non-disruptive upgrades, Pure Fusion will be available across the entire Pure Storage platform to all global customers.
The other innovation is a generative AI (genAI) copilot for storage. The team added this is AI copilot for storage represents a radically new way to manage and protect data using natural language.
“As more businesses rely on automation and AI to make near-real-time decisions, we are committed to meeting their needs at ServiceNow. That starts with 24/7 performance and reliability. We couldn’t have chosen a better partner than Pure Storage to scale with our rapid growth. Projects that take other companies three years take only three months using Pure’s enterprise data storage platform. With Pure, we can do it faster and make the enhancements needed to fuel our customers’ success,” said Keith Martin, Vice President of Global Cloud Engineering at ServiceNow.
The co-pilot leverages data insights from thousands of Pure Storage customers to guide storage teams through investigating complex performance and management issues and staying ahead of security incidents.
“Pure is redefining enterprise storage with a single, unified data storage platform that can address virtually all enterprise storage needs, including the most pressing challenges and opportunities IT leaders face today, like AI and cyber resilience. The Pure Storage platform delivers unparalleled consistency, resilience, and SLA-guaranteed data storage services, reducing costs and uncertainty in an increasingly complex business landscape,” commented Charles Giancarlo, Chairman and CEO of Pure Storage.
Apart from these Pure Storage is also introducing innovations on its platform that help businesses accelerate successful AI deployments. These include:
New Evergreen/One: One of the first purpose-built AI storage-as-a-service platforms, New Evergreen/One provides a guaranteed storage performance for GPUs to support training, HPC workloads, and inference. This introduces the ability to purchase based on dynamic performance and throughput needs. The new SLA uniquely delivers the performance needed and eliminates the need for planning or overbuying by paying for throughput performance.
Secure application workspaces with fine-grained access controls: This combines Kubernetes container management, policy governance tools, and secure multi-tenancy to enable advanced data integrations between enterprise mission-critical data and AI clusters. It makes storage infrastructure transparent to application owners, who gain fully automated access to AI innovation without sacrificing security, independence, or control.
“At Paylocity, data flexibility, precision, and automation are critical to empowering our customers to make strategic human capital decisions swiftly and accurately. We see incredible value in Pure Fusion to unlock both flexibility and self-service for our developers. Pure Fusion promises the true cloud operating model we need to innovate faster and more efficiently, and ultimately deliver valuable outcomes to our customers in the future,” said Dave Pinkawa, Engineering Manager – Virtualization, Paylocity.
