In an era where enterprises are undergoing a significant re-evaluation of virtualization strategies, our episode dives into the new strategic partnership between Pure Storage and Nutanix. Join industry experts Don Poorman and Erin Stevens as we unpack the latest trends in virtualization strategies and why the timing is perfect for a new approach, and how Nutanix, with its AHV hypervisor, is well positioned with Pure to deliver a solution designed from the ground up for high-performance and enterprise scale.
This episode explores the "what" and "how" of the jointly engineered Pure and Nutanix solution, detailing how Nutanix AHV hosts can leverage Pure FlashArray for shared storage, offering an apples-to-apples replacement for traditional setups. We'll cover the details around joint integrations, including the NVMe/TCP connection between Nutanix and Pure FlashArray, and how VMs are managed through Nutanix Prism for a granular vVols-like experience. Learn about the specific workloads and use cases this solution targets, particularly environments needing a balance of computing and networking, and those with high transactional database demands.
Gain insights into the current state of the project, including its early access phase with customer feedback, and what to expect regarding general availability coming soon. Finally, get their "Hot Takes" on industry trends, memorable customer screw-ups, and their predictions for the future of data management.

Pure Fusion: Unified and Automated Data Management enabling the Enterprise Data Cloud
Join Pure Storage Technical Evangelists Don Poorman and Mike Nelson as we dive into Pure Fusion and how Pure Storage is enabling users to focus less on managing storage and more on managing their data. We start by examining the complexities of managing storage and application workloads in today's rapidly evolving IT landscape. We expose the challenges posed by legacy vendor "portfolios" which often consist of disparate products lacking unified GUIs and APIs. Learn why a fundamental shift is necessary to eliminate silos in enterprise storage, moving beyond mere federation to true integration – a unified management plane with common APIs that seamlessly operate across the entire storage ecosystem. Poorman and Nelson underscore how this integration and automation are not just valuable for traditional workloads but will be absolutely critical for the future of AI implementation, especially for inference.
Our discussion pivots to Pure Storage's groundbreaking solution: Fusion. Learn what Fusion is – a powerful capability included in the latest versions of the Purity operating environment that provides an intelligent control plane for a centralized, unified management experience across an entire fleet of arrays. Our experts explain how Fusion inherently adopts Pure's API-First strategy, offering robust automation capabilities through PowerShell SDK, Ansible, and Python. They highlight how Fusion drives management, compliance, and workload configuration consistency from a single pane of glass, and how it's a vital foundation of Pure's Enterprise Data Cloud (EDC) vision.
Listeners and viewers will gain invaluable insights into the tangible benefits of Fusion, including the ability to provision storage on any array from any array within the same UI, search and manage storage resources globally, and reconfigure resources without needing to access a specific array. Poorman and Nelson also explore how Fusion simplifies and standardizes workload deployments with pre-configured definitions, enabling end-to-end workload orchestration. They touch upon future enhancements like seamless interoperability across file, object, and block storage in on-site, hybrid, and cloud environments, and the exciting prospect of workload mobility.
