We made it to Episode 6 - the final in our 15 Architectural Decisions series and saved some of the best for last - Predictive and Proactive support (Pure1) combined with our Evergreen architecture and non-disruptive everything. In this episode, JD, Andrew and I dive into Pure Storage's foundational principles that ensure continuous operation and future-proof your storage. We explore the concept of "Non-Disruptive Everything," a core tenet that allows for seamless upgrades and expansions without any downtime. This ties directly into the innovative Evergreen Storage Model, which redefines the ownership experience by eliminating forklift upgrades and enabling independent evolution of performance, capacity, and features over a decade-long array lifecycle.

We also discuss how Pure's proactive and predictive support, powered by Pure1, plays a critical role in maintaining this non-disruptive environment. Pure1's advanced analytics, anomaly detection, and data protection assessments provide unparalleled visibility and ensure that potential issues are identified and addressed before they impact operations. This integrated approach, from architecture to support, highlights how Pure Storage consistently delivers a cloud-like experience on-premises, setting a new standard for reliability and longevity in the storage industry. Thanks for watching our series.
