Pure Storage has announced a new integration that simplifies the migration of VMware enterprise environments to the cloud through Microsoft Azure, providing an advanced solution for storing and managing cloud data with the same level of efficiency and security as on-premises installations. This partnership aims to meet the needs of enterprise customers looking to modernize their IT infrastructures with more flexible and cost-effective cloud solutions.
A Collaboration Redefining Cloud Storage Management
The integration of Pure Storage into Microsoft Azure’s native services allows businesses to deploy, manage, and use Pure storage in the cloud with the same simplicity they access other Azure services. “With this integrated offering, Pure and Microsoft are helping customers quickly leverage Pure’s enterprise-grade storage with Azure services. This opens up a range of possibilities for those looking to securely move their enterprise-scale environments to the cloud,” said Scott Hunter, Vice President of Development at Microsoft.
Cost Reduction and Simplified Operations
For many companies, cloud storage represents a significant operational burden. However, with this integration, Pure and Azure customers will be able to optimize their VMware environments, eliminating the need for complex storage management. According to Joe Ervolino, IT Infrastructure Manager at Dupaco Community Credit Union, “Pure Storage’s advanced deduplication and compression capabilities in Azure will allow us to significantly reduce cloud storage costs, enabling us to allocate resources to strategic areas.”
In addition to cost reduction, the collaboration between Pure and Microsoft offers a unified management experience. Shana Meyers, IT Director at Insight, highlights that the system allows her teams to monitor both cloud and on-premises storage from a single platform, using familiar tools from Pure Storage, which translates into greater efficiency in infrastructure utilization.
A Solution for Transitioning from VMware to the Cloud
For many companies operating with VMware, moving to the cloud can be challenging. With the new Pure Storage Cloud solution in Microsoft Azure VMware Solution, Pure and Microsoft offer an option that enables the migration of workloads to the cloud without interrupting operations. Raphael Meyerowitz, Vice President of Market Strategy at Presidio, emphasized that this solution alleviates operational burdens and facilitates a smooth transition. “Our joint customers can enjoy the same robust cloud storage capabilities as in their physical facilities while reducing costs and focusing on the future of their businesses,” Meyerowitz remarked.
