In the CloudSnap demo, Dirk demonstrates how simple it is to setup and manage CloudSnap. He will demonstrate how CloudSnap is simply an extension of the way Pure customers have been scheduling and managing local snapshots for their on-premises arrays. He will also show how Pure provides a single pane of glass to view and manage snapshots across a fleet of FlashArray’s (FlashArray and Cloud Block Store).

In this section, Dirk will discuss Pure’s Portable Snapshots which provide the ability to create snapshots off Pure FlashArrays that are efficient and “smart”, even with data transfer. Portable Snapshots are self-describing, they encapsulate metadata, preserve compression, and only send delta changes between snaps, where versions of snaps might be flowing frequently.

He will also talk about how Pure extends portable snapshots with AWS S3 as a target for effortless, efficient, and affordable cloud data protection.
