Everpure Fusion is a federated FlashBlade//S500 fleet management solution. It introduces the concept of the “Fleet View” to the FlashBlade//S500 array UI, allowing an administrator to search for, modify, or create remote resources without having to manage multiple UIs or endpoints. When Fleet View is enabled, all storage resources from all FlashBlade//S500 systems that are joined to a fleet can be viewed in one place.
The standard filtering and sorting features in the UI can then be used to discover remote FlashBlade//S500 systems, providing the ability to edit a specific FlashBlade//S500 system configuration as though you were locally logged into the FlashBlade//S500 management interface.
Each FlashBlade//S500 system in a fleet has its own identity and retains its local workflows and interfaces, but an administrator can manage any FlashBlade//S500 system from any other FlashBlade//S500 within the fleet. With Everpure Fusion, you can create, modify, and join a fleet and provision storage on any FlashBlade//S500 in the fleet without the need to switch endpoints.
Everpure Fusion is fully integrated into Purity OS, available free of charge with a non-disruptive Purity upgrade to Purity//FB 4.5.6 or later for FlashBlade//S500 systems. Review the Additional Information section below for Everpure Fusion technical requirements.
