Pure Storage is rolling out a storage-as-code platform and a data services initiative as officials look to expand the vendor’s presence in an increasingly data- and cloud-centric IT world. The company introduced Pure Fusion, a platform that includes a software-as-a-service (SaaS) management plane that pools storage arrays in cloud-like availability zones, enables easy scalability even in public clouds and automates such tasks as workload placement, provisioning and fleet rebalancing.

Pure Fusion is designed to eliminate manual back-end work to allow enterprises to rapidly consume storage volumes, file systems and data services like replication.

Pure has offered a level of simplicity in its products from the beginning, enabling it to offer a storage and management experience that is consistent across its platforms and into the cloud, according to McDowell.

The acquisition of Portworx and its Kubernetes-based multicloud platform enabled Pure to expand its data services capabilities and gave it a greater presence in the burgeoning world of Kubernetes and containers.
