Vaughn Stewart, VP of Technology Alliances, presents the flexible storage fabric options available to Pure Storage FlashStack customers. FlashStack supports Fibre Channel, iSCSI, VMFS, and vVol, and is prepared for next-generation protocols like NVMe over Fabric.
Next, Vaughn discusses management of VMware infrastructure enhanced by Pure Storage. FlashArray was originally designed to support VMware workloads and includes many features to reduce complexities and trade-offs. When FlashStack is used to support VMware Cloud Foundation, customers benefit from SmartConfig, vSphere Lifecycle Manager without loss of data protection, Pure 1 updates, integrated compute, storage, and networking, and in-place hardware upgrades.
Next, Kyle Grossmiller, Sr. Solutions Architect, demonstrates a vVols-based workload domain deployment in VCF. Kyle and Vaughn also take questions from the Tech Field Day delegates.
