Pete Kirkpatrick, VP Engineering, Chief Hardware Architect, gives a deep dive into the Pure Storage FlashArray//C with all-QLC flash. Pure Storage announced an all-QLC version of the FlashArray//C previously, but this array is now shipping, bringing a new price point for the all-flash storage array market with availability, reliability, and enormous capacity. Kirkpatrick gives some background into the use of QLC NAND flash, including the problems that arise with lower performance and endurance of this medium. In a discussion with the Storage Field Day delegates, he presents the unique technical capabilities Pure Storage brings to this type of flash.

Hybrid Cloud Kubernetes with vSphere and Pure Storage

Cody Hosterman, Director VMware Solutions Engineering, and Jon Owings, Principal Solution Architect, discuss Pure Storage’s Hybrid Cloud Kubernetes offering with vSphere. Although Pure Storage supports Kubernetes without VMware, many of their customers are looking for a supported, integrated offering with vSphere through Tanzu and a cloud-native storage (CSI) driver. Pure Storage offers two options: VMFS with tag-based placement and vVols with feature-based placement, and policy-based storage provisioning. Pure Storage Orchestrator determines storage placement regardless of the physical storage configuration with automatic failover as containers are stopped and restarted. Pure Storage also offers an integrated Cloud Block Store in Amazon AWS, enabling seamless data access from VMware Tanzu to Amazon EKS or other Kubernetes offerings in the cloud. Owings and Hosterman take questions from the Storage Field Day delegates during their demonstration of this functionality.
