Earlier this month, Pure Storage and Nutanix announced a partnership to deliver a deeply integrated solution that delivers operational efficiency for storage-intensive workloads, including AI applications. This combined solution brings together Nutanix hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) integrated with Pure’s high-performance FlashArray.
Daymark has longstanding, strategic channel partnerships with both Pure and Nutanix. We’re excited about how this integrated solution can help our customers maximize their investments by providing a modern and simplified IT infrastructure. Here are highlights of the newly announced features and benefits:
Simplified Infrastructure with Maximum Performance
Pure Storage provides high-performance, all-flash storage with consistent low latency in a very dense and power efficient footprint. Nutanix delivers scalable, easy-to-manage HCI that simplifies operations across compute, storage, and virtualization. Both offer industry leading operational efficiencies, thereby reducing complexity and administrative overhead, making infrastructure invisible.
Scalability and Flexibility
Nutanix enables independent scaling of compute and storage. Pure’s disaggregated storage architecture allows you to scale capacity and performance non-disruptively and independently of compute. This flexibility enables customers to be strategic with their investments allowing them to avoid overprovisioning and optimize their investment.
Resilience and Availability
Pure Storage offers 99.9999% availability, industry-leading data reduction, and consistent performance. Nutanix adds integrated backup, disaster recovery, and native data protection features. Combined, the solution enhances business continuity and resilience.
Unified Management and Automation
Nutanix Prism provides a single-pane-of-glass for managing your entire environment. Integration with Pure Storage’s Purity OS and Pure1® enables AI-driven insights such as modeling the impact of new workloads on capacity and performance or identifying risks using natural language queries to Pure’s AI Copilot. Automation tools and APIs reduce manual effort and human error by enabling seamless automation of common management tasks.
Cloud-like Experience and Hybrid Cloud Readiness
Seamless integration with public clouds through Nutanix Clusters and Pure Cloud Block Store enable a hybrid cloud or multi-cloud model with simplified mobility of apps and data. Built-in support for containers and Kubernetes (via Nutanix Karbon and Pure’s Portworx) facilitates modern app development regardless of where workloads are hosted.
Improved TCO and ROI
Industry leading data reduction (compression, deduplication) on Pure Storage helps reduce storage footprint and costs. Nutanix reduces CapEx and OpEx by consolidating infrastructure and simplifying IT operations. Subscription models and Evergreen Storage from Pure Storage eliminate forklift upgrades and align with OpEx budgeting.
Enhanced Security and Compliance
Pure Storage offers comprehensive data security by offering OS hardening, support for MFA, end-to-end encryption, and SafeMode Snapshots, which are both immutable and indelible, ensuring your data is secured from the modern threat landscape. Nutanix supports secure multi-tenancy, microsegmentation, and regulatory compliance. Both platforms offer compliance certifications (FIPS 140-2, SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, FedRAMP-ready configurations).
Take the Next Step
This integrated solution is targeted for early access this summer, with general availability by the end of 2025. Now is an ideal time to evaluate how these new capabilities can benefit your organization. With years of experience working with both Pure and Nutanix, we are here to help you take advantage of this combined solution to ensure a secure, scalable foundation for both traditional and modern workloads.
