Pure Storage Arms Data Storage Platform with Generative AI and Cyber Tools

Pure Storage has announced major new capabilities in its data storage platform aimed at helping organizations harness AI more effectively while bolstering defenses against cyber threats like ransomware.

The company says its platform delivers agility and risk reduction through a simple, consistent storage offering with an as-a-service experience across on-premises, public cloud, and hosted environments.

"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," said Charles Giancarlo, Chairman and CEO of Pure Storage.

Among the key new innovations, Pure Storage unveiled Pure Fusion, described as a first-of-its-kind storage automation that unifies arrays and optimizes storage pools across structured and unstructured data, whether on-premises or in the cloud. Another industry first is the AI Copilot for Storage - a generative AI assistant for storage management and protection that leverages insights from tens of thousands of Pure's customers. Pure also highlighted survey findings showing 98% of 1,500 global IT leaders believe their data infrastructure requires improvement to properly support AI initiatives. To address this, the new Evergreen//One for AI provides guaranteed storage performance for GPU workloads like training and inference.
