NextGen Connected Cloud Datacenter with programmable and flexible infrastructure
Many businesses like ours are challenged with on-demand infrastructure provisioning at the speed of software while the datacenter footprint is diminishing. Pure Storage as a company is getting out of the datacenter center business and are adopting more of a OpEx cost model with strict legal and data compliance guidelines for many of our business application pipelines. We chose to go with a programmable Infrastructure and Connected Cloud architecture with open APIs. Integrated model with Kubernetes on bare metal hosts that can burst to cloud with native storage layer providing a flexible infrastructure with predictable performance for core and edge applications. The storage layer in the infrastructure stack provides data management capabilities using Stork. Stork provides built-in high availability, data protection, data security and compliance with multi-cloud mobility. Automating the entire stack with k8s manifest helped us to provision and modify quickly on-demand the entire infrastructure stack.
