It’s a really interesting insight into the company.

Don’t Build Big Data With Bad Data
Big data, machine learning, AI. If you were playing buzzword bingo, you just need to throw in IoT to win. But Tom Hollingsworth makes some great points about some of the blind spots that become apparent in these technologies that otherwise engender hagiography. For Tom, it’s an issue of where data comes in for these systems. If the starting point is flawed, either in how it was collected or in a cultural sense, the end result cannot help but be impacted.
Pure Storage Charts A Course To The Future Of Big Data
Justin Warren runs down the announcements from the 2nd annual Pure Accelerate conference. He focuses on the ActiveCluster synchronous replication being brought in as a software upgrade for the Purity FA 5 release. Justin sees this as key for Pure Storage to grow in the European market.
