Cloud Block Store (CBS) brings the Pure experience to take advantage of the public cloud. It leverages cloud-native resources to bring block storage to the cloud with the same Purity operating environment. The features for advanced array-based replication are now extended into the cloud with the same management interface and user experience.
The option to use FlashArray’s volume replication to migrate the workloads to CBS means migrating an on-premises virtual disk to iSCSI connectivity will allow the workload to be more easily migrated to the public cloud. Disaster recovery replication also becomes easier if the public cloud is the DR replication target and the architectural goals are to create a new VM in the cloud and attach the CBS-based disks via in-guest iSCSI.
