Extends STaaS leadership, now with 10 concurrent SLAs, the
industry's most comprehensive set of service level
agreements
LAS
VEGAS, June 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Pure
Storage//Accelerate -- Pure Storage® (NYSE:
PSTG), the IT pioneer that delivers the world's most advanced data
storage technology and services, today announced three new advanced
Storage as-a-Service (STaaS) service-level agreements (SLAs) for
the Pure Storage platform - cyber recovery and resilience and site
rebalance - further empowering organizations to guarantee outcomes
and reduce risk in their critical data infrastructure.
AI is revolutionizing business, and not always for the better.
Cyber criminals are increasingly using AI to increase the frequency
and impact of cyber attacks, especially ransomware. However,
existing IT infrastructure generally lacks flexibility to react to
the rapid pace of change required to protect data, and rapidly
recover if needed.
The Pure Storage platform delivers agility and risk reduction to
organizations with a simple, consistent storage platform and an
as-a-service experience for the broadest set of use cases across
on-premises, public cloud, and hosted environments. At the heart of
the platform, the often imitated but never duplicated
Evergreen® architecture brings continuous and
non-disruptive upgrades helping enterprises adapt to dynamic
business environments. With the industry's record number of
concurrent SLAs, customers get the reliability, performance, and
sustainability their business requires.
Further advancing Pure's existing cyber resiliency offerings,
including SafeMode for ransomware recovery, today, Pure announced
new innovations enabled by the platform including:
- Enhanced Cyber Recovery and Resilience SLA:
Building on the first-of-its-kind ransomware recovery SLA,
Evergreen//One™ is expanding its coverage to include disaster
recovery scenarios as well. This new and improved Cyber Recovery
and Resilience SLA delivers a customized recovery plan, ships clean
service infrastructure within a defined SLA, provides onsite
installation, and supplies additional professional services for
data transfer. In addition, Pure will collaborate with
organizations to build and maintain a comprehensive cybersecurity
strategy. Ongoing quarterly reviews are included to ensure best
practices adherence, ongoing risk assessments, and operational
security remediation. Organizations can rest assured knowing if an
unforeseen disruptive event occurs, Pure will help rapidly restore
normal operations, guaranteed.
- New Security Assessment: The new assessment
provides deep visibility into fleet-level security risks and offers
actionable recommendations to maximize cyber resilience. Based on
aggregated intelligence across 10,000+ environments, the Security
Assessment presents numerical scores from 0 to 5 to benchmark the
security posture of the entire storage fleet. It also delivers best
practices to align with NIST 2.0 standards, advance regulatory
compliance, remediate potential security anomalies, and rapidly
restore operations if a security-related event occurs.
Additionally, the new AI copilot leverages the security assessment
to provide Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) with the
visibility into benchmarking their security posture against other
Pure Storage customers.
- New AI-Powered Anomaly Detection Enhancement: Discover
threats such as ransomware attacks, unusual activity, malicious
behavior, and Denial of Service attacks via performance anomalies.
This expands on previously available ransomware detection based on
data reduction anomalies. The expanded detection is built on
multiple machine learning models running to identify unusual
anomalous behavior. The models analyze customer environments with
historical data for anomalous patterns based on heuristics of
performance as well as user context on how storage is used.
Leveraging this capability, customers can identify the last known
good snapshot copy to mitigate operational impact by quickly
identifying recovery point targets to restore data, reducing risk
and guesswork.
In today's dynamic market and competitive landscape, it is
imperative for IT to be able to rapidly adapt. As the only STaaS
solution that allows both scaling up and down the service, today
Pure Storage further distanced itself by providing even more
flexibility:
- New Site Rebalance SLA: The Evergreen//One Site
Rebalance SLA delivers service flexibility for organizations
looking to adjust existing reserve commitments as their storage
requirements evolve. If there are no longer capacity needs at a
specific site, if a data center is being consolidated, or if
performance at one site was oversized and excess capacity exists
that can be used elsewhere, the Site Rebalance SLA empowers
organizations to rebalance reserve commitments once every 12 months
for each Evergreen//One subscription.
"As Pure Storage continues to revolutionize enterprise data
storage, our mission remains: to provide a simple, flexible, and
resilient as-a-service storage platform that not only addresses
current data and storage management needs, but mitigates future
risk and uncertainty. Through continuously improving services and
the broadest set of outcome-driven SLAs, Pure is the only data
storage platform future-proofed for innovation." —
Prakash Darji, GM, Digital
Experience, Pure Storage

flexibility and simplicity while delivering high performance and
resilience - all in support of customer growth in today's dynamic
