Unleash The Power of Your Data

When your data and applications are offline, your organization faces significant losses – in time, money, even reputation. Legacy storage is often the culprit, but newer technologies like Pure Storage were designed to stay online, even during upgrades. Learn how you can overcome downtime and increase agility with the right infrastructure.

In this webinar, you will learn:

- How to keep your data available and performing at its peak, no matter what changes come
- Tips to cut downtime
- Why IT agility is essential – and achievable

Nobody can predict the future. Yet IT leaders are asked to predict their future infrastructure needs all the time. From keeping vital systems performing and secure, to adapting to changing organizational priorities and eliminating technical debt, you are expected to balance current priorities with future needs. Don’t let a traditional IT infrastructure mindset hold back your team from solving today’s and tomorrow’s problems. Learn how your peers are solving these issues and gaining real IT agility with Pure Storage.

Join our experts as they discuss the advantages of a data platform approach. You will gain valuable insights to help you:

Deliver real IT agility and flexibility to your organization
Free uptime and resources spent on storage management, so your team can tackle more value-add projects
Keep your data infrastructure modern for 10+ years

In this TechTalks session, we’ll cover how data storage infrastructure influences the performance of your Oracle databases. We’ll be giving practical advice on how to:

Manage your large-scale Oracle environment effectively to unlock superior performance
Simplify and reduce manual processes with AI-driven storage provisioning and streamline snapshot management with powerful API-driven techniques
Gain peace of mind with comprehensive cyber resilience and SLA guarantees

For this August Coffee Break, Andrew Miller invites Principal Technologist and VCDX (VMware Certified Design Expert) Rob Quast to explore Rob’s career and why a VCDX (VMware’s top design certification and a true challenge to obtain) is working for a storage company. Yes, this might relate to our conversation in February about why a DBA (Anthony Nocentino) is here at Pure Storage.

For the rest of the time, we’ll continue the great platform discussion with Justin Emerson from May exploring:

Products vs platforms: The many definitions of “platform,” how a platform perspective has helped throughout our careers, and how it may help you.
The Pure Storage platform perspective: Thanks to years of differentiated R&D and an expanding portfolio, the Pure Storage platform is built on four key pillars: storage as a service, effortless management at any scale, simple unified infrastructure, and Evergreen® architecture (also covered in July).
Pure Fusion™: How the current release and future vision of Pure Fusion is enabling the data and storage platform we’ve long dreamed of as an industry but never before been able to realize. First-of-its-kind storage automation? A bold claim we realize…but we’ll back it up.
About the Pure Storage Coffee Break Series: Each month, we invite experts in technology and business to chat about the themes driving today’s IT agenda. This is no webinar or training session—it’s a freewheeling conversation that’s as fun as it is informative and the perfect way to break up your day. While we’ll wander into Pure Storage technology, our goal is to educate and entertain, rather than sell.

For September’s Coffee Break, Andrew Miller invites industry veteran and 6+ year Puritan Don Kirouac. Don is currently the technical lead at Pure Storage for product sustainability. Along with his day job, he now dreams at night of kilowatts, supply chains, and full product life cycle analysis. Although in a previous life, he was the top ActiveCluster™ subject matter expert. In some ways, this will be a sequel to last year’s session: “Tired of Energy Savings & Efficiency Gas”-lighting? Better Science is the Answer.” That one was with Brian Gold (yes, that Brian Gold the former rocket scientist).

During this session, we’ll further into:

Don’s history across the industry and career lessons he has learned
How Pure Storage looks at sustainability and energy efficiency across our entire portfolio and why it matters to you (hint: there might be industry-wide energy shortages coming–you can thank AI)
We’ll also prove these bold claims:

Up to 85% less energy than other all flash solutions
Over 800 times improvement in data stored (terabytes) per unit of energy (Watts) consumed compared to our earliest product models
DirectFlash® modules that require 1000 times less DRAM than SSDs with industry leading performance.

When you pass in a query, how does SQL Server build the results? Let’s say Brent Ozar is an end user sending queries, and you'll act as the SQL Server engine. Using simple spreadsheets as your tables, you'll learn how SQL Server builds execution plans, uses indexes, reads data from storage, and caches it in memory.

This session is for DBAs and developers who are comfortable writing queries, but not as comfortable when it comes to explaining nonclustered indexes, PAGEIOLATCH waits, and physical reads. We’ill also cover the role of storage in optimizing SQL Server operations.

In this TechTalk, you’ll:
Learn how SQL Server builds execution plans, which are critical for understanding how a query will be executed.
Gain clarity on indexes and how SQL Server reads data from storage and caches it in memory.
Explore the importance of storage in optimizing SQL Server operations, highlighting the impact of storage on query performance
