As part of its focus on simplifying hybrid architecture mobility, Pure Storage announced two new offerings to make it easier than ever for enterprises to consume and deploy storage – the availability of Pure as-a-ServiceTM in AWS Marketplace and a new Cloud Block Store Efficiency Guarantee program backed by Pure’s promise to reduce cloud storage consumption with no feature trade-offs.
Pure Storage works with AWS to drive applications that run across AWS Regions and AWS Outposts and leverage the agility and innovation of private, edge, SaaS and clouds simultaneously. Today’s announcements are the latest innovations that reinforce how Pure and AWS work together to serve customers’ modern data needs.
Pure as-a-Service helps enterprises get the value of cloud economics, operational excellence and an outstanding customer experience in a “pay as you go” flexible model. This allows organizations to place capacity and performance in locations that make sense to the business, utilizing a single unified subscription whether on-premises, in a colocation facility, or in the cloud. With availability in AWS Marketplace, AWS customers can now deploy Pure as-a-Service capacity in locations that service cloud, on-premises and edge workloads.
“Customers are looking for flexibility and choice as they procure, store, and manage their data across the enterprise as part of a comprehensive digitization initiative,” said Garth Fort, Director of Product Management, AWS Marketplace, Amazon Web Services, Inc. “We are delighted to welcome Pure Storage to offer our shared customers enhanced flexibility, mobility and consistency between on-premises and edge applications to AWS storage.”
“Working with Pure Storage and AWS is an essential part of our business, and today’s announcements are a strong demonstration of their value together,” said Lance Broderick, Director of Technology Finance and Enterprise Architect, NuSkin. “We can see the power of Pure as-a-Service on the AWS marketplace for our on-prem and edge workloads.”
New Cloud Efficiency Guarantee
Also announced today, Pure’s Cloud Efficiency Guarantee program allows customers to take advantage of Cloud Block Store in a risk-free manner with guaranteed cloud operational cost savings. Customers can rely on Pure’s Cloud Block Store to achieve specific efficiency gains over and above what they had with cloud-native storage options, backed by Pure as-a-Service credit guarantees.
“Pure and AWS share a commitment to customer obsession – focused on the cloud principles of agility and flexibility to deliver best of breed technology for customers in our respective areas,” said Michael Sotnick, Vice President, Global Alliances, Pure Storage. “Having a hybrid architecture strategy and the right technology partners helps enterprises achieve more than ever in today’s environment.”
