Application Migration
When migrating data to the public cloud, the requirement to redesign existing applications deployed on-premises is a common challenge. The enterprise data storage services of Everpure Cloud Dedicated allow customers to easily migrate and run their existing mission critical data in the public cloud without redesigning their applications. Everpure Cloud Dedicated shares a common abstraction layer as the FlashArray for both management and data access which allows customers to preserve the same operational workflows, scripts, and orchestration tools. Everpure Cloud Dedicated's built-in resiliency allows for the most mission critical data to run without requiring the application layer to manage data availability.
Existing developers who have standardized on the rich APIs provided by the FlashArray can continue to use them for Everpure Cloud Dedicated. The identical scripts and automation tools built on the APIs can be directly applied to Everpure Cloud Dedicated with little or no change. Once again, this workflow reduces the friction for customers who want to migrate their application data between their private and public cloud environments.
Reduce Storage Costs
Once customers successfully make the transition to Everpure Cloud Dedicated for Azure, they can realize the benefits of Everpure Cloud Dedicated enterprise features. Customers can consolidate data onto Everpure Cloud Dedicated to take advantage of Purity's data reduction capabilities. Existing FlashArray customers can expect the same data reduction ratio already observed on their physical FlashArray. Thin Provisioning with Everpure Cloud Dedicated further improves a customer's total efficiency. Developers can confidently provision volumes as large as needed without the cost concern or the need to constantly resize their disks.
Increase Availability
In production environments, data availability and protection is the number one priority. Customers can rely on the highly efficient snapshot capabilities of Pure Cloud Storage Dedicated to provide periodic point-in-time volume snapshots to protect from unintentional data changes. Additionally, customers who require the highest form of data availability can replicate their data between availability zones or regions. ActiveCluster allows data to be synchronously replicated between Everpure Cloud Dedicated instances in different availability zones. This feature allows for automatic and transparent application failovers in the event of a complete outage of an availability zone. For larger-scale regional outage protection, data can also be replicated asynchronously between multiple Everpure Cloud Dedicated instances residing in different regions. Lastly, customers can also leverage Purity's CloudSnap feature to send volume snapshots directly to Azure blob store for backup purposes. Customers can restore CloudSnap snapshots to any FlashArray or to other Everpure Cloud Dedicated managed applications.
