Pure Storage Cloud Data Services

2019: Announcement of set of cloud services

On April 24, 2019 the Pure Storage company announced Pure Storage Cloud Data Services - a set of the cloud services optimized for the Amazon Web Services (AWS) platform. Using these products, clients can invest in uniform architecture of storage which integrates deployment of applications in the local environment in a cloud so that data everywhere became a valuable company asset.

According to the company, Pure Storage Cloud Data Services is the updated set of opportunities developed and optimized for start of the software of Pure Storage in a cloud of AWS. It includes the following:

• Cloud Block Store for AWS. The storage system with block access for commercial operation optimized for work in a cloud of AWS. Designed for ensuring smooth operation of crucial applications in a cloud, Cloud Block Store provides hybrid mobility and introduces the updated services of storage for applications which work with huge amounts of data.
• CloudSnap for AWS. Cloud data protection is built in directly Pure FlashArray. CloudSnap allows to send snapshots with FlashArray to the data warehouse of S3 of the AWS platform that provides economic protection in a cloud and also flexible data recovery as in a cloud, and locally.
• StorReduce. The cloud technology of deduplication developed for ensuring speed, simple, economic cloud backup in the data warehouse of AWS S3 together with local a flash array for fast recovery.

Pure Storage Cloud Data Services allows clients to pass to architecture of a hybrid cloud. Clients can with the smallest efforts transfer applications to a cloud, construct and start hybrid architecture in a local and cloud environment, use a cloud for backup and data recovery and also to develop the applications working with huge amounts of data which use enhanced capabilities of storage, such as data reduction, snapshots and polyzonal replication. Besides, recent acquisition by Pure Storage company of StorReduce technology, the mechanism of deduplication of object storage, allows the organizations to replace the specialized backup devices (SBD) with a flash arrays and to use object storage Amazon S3 for data storage outside the platform. This architecture from a flash-to-flash-to-cloud upgrades processes of backup and recovery with use a flash DWH of a public cloud and provides flexible reuse of data of backup with different services AWS.

Pure relies on reliable services of storage of AWS for creation of additional functions and helps corporate applications to work with the local environment and AWS. Pure Storage provides the unified hybrid cloud environment, offering stable and universal API, automation for developers and also the unique differentiated solutions for backup and data protection in AWS through StorReduce and CloudSna.

The Pure Storage company helps clients to implement the vision of the cloud storage of data by the following methods:

• Help to clients in creation of cloud storages. The organizations can create private clouds in a local system or on a hosting for providing SaaS service (Storage as a service) with such high-speed performance, availability and usability what clients also expect from Pure Storage company.
• Ensuring work of hybrid infrastructure anywhere. Clients can start applications not only locally or on a hosting, but also to continuously store data on Pure in AWS. Now the single platform of data storage guarantees the unified services of storage, fault tolerance and program interfaces of applications as locally, and in a cloud that allows to create applications once and to work with them from any point of the earth.
• Universal data protection. Clients can select reliable options of backup, recovery and data storage under specific objectives, having replaced outdated tape and disk storage modules highly productive a flash arrays and economic cloud storages.
