ure Storage, a data solutions leader
delivering a modern data experience,
has announced major additions to
its Cloud Data Services portfolio that helps
customers more impactfully deploy hybrid
clouds. These solutions enable portability
of applications to and from Amazon Web
Services (AWS) with minimal re-architecture
and allow customers to leverage public cloud
economics for any use case.
“Private and public cloud storage too often
operate in separate worlds,” said Rob Lee,
Chief Architect, Pure Storage.
“As more and more customers adopt hybrid
cloud, it’s critical that their infrastructure is
optimised for data mobility. Pure’s Cloud
Data Services exist to bridge the divide for
customers and deliver the full value of data
across any project or initiative.”
Cloud Block Store for Amazon
Web Services
Cloud Block Store (CBS) for AWS delivers true
hybrid operations for customers by providing
consistent data services, resiliency and bi-
directional mobility.
Now generally available, CBS is enterprise-
grade block storage delivered natively in
the public cloud and provides a unified
management and consumption experience.
Cloud Block Store enables mission-critical
applications to run in the cloud seamlessly
and makes cloud storage more powerful for
web scale applications.

CloudSnap for Azure
Purity CloudSnap maximises the cloud’s
potential for backup storage with intelligent,
efficient data transfer to the cloud.
CloudSnap, a cloud backup technology
enabled with AWS, is now available as a
multi-cloud solution and can be leveraged in
Microsoft Azure.
Additionally, CloudSnap offers rapid
recovery on-premises, or in the cloud to
Cloud Block Store, to help customers meet
demanding service level agreements (SLAs)
and compliance policies with array and
volume-level recovery that is both easy
and cost-effective. With these significant
additions to its portfolio, Pure aims to
match its customers’ vision as the
majority of enterprises embrace a hybrid
cloud model with data that lives both
on-and-off-premises.
“Pure has made a number of key product
launches and acquisitions to fill out its vision
around cloud, and create solutions that
maximise the strategic impact of customer
data across a diverse ecosystem of tools
which makes today’s environments difficult-
to-navigate,” said Henry Baltazar, Research
Vice President. 451 Research. “Consistent
data insight and data movement continue
to be major challenges for organisations
today especially as they try to navigate
between multiple public and private clouds
to put their data to work. Pure’s latest cloud
services are designed to improve the resiliency
and accessibility of this data in these
modern multi-cloud environments which are
becoming increasingly complex.” n
