Nutanix and Pure Storage are teaming up to give enterprise IT a smarter, more powerful choice for virtualization. This new integrated solution brings together the simplicity and flexibility of Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure with the blazing speed and rock-solid reliability of Pure Storage^® FlashArray. Translation? You get a full-stack virtual infrastructure that’s modern, scalable, and ready to handle your most mission-critical, data-intensive workloads—AI included.

Why now? Because the virtualization market is shifting fast. Licensing costs are climbing, vendor lock-in is real, and IT leaders are rethinking their entire stack. Nutanix and Pure Storage are stepping in with a fresh alternative—one that’s built for change and tuned for performance.

Whether you’re dealing with sprawling VMs or planning your next AI deployment, this partnership is all about freedom, resilience, and future-ready infrastructure. And the best part? It’s simple to deploy, easy to manage, and coming soon.

Pure Storage FlashArray is designed from the ground up for high-performance and enterprise scale. The Pure Storage platform delivers key capabilities enterprises need, including:

• Industry-leading data efficiency: FlashArray offers always-on, global compression and deduplication, while other options support only basic compression with no dedupe, often requiring significantly more hardware to match capacity​.
• True disaggregated simplicity: Pure Storage FlashArray is a modular, independently scalable NVMe platform that cleanly separates compute and storage, delivering sub-millisecond latency across all workloads​.
• Integrated VM-centric management: Full integration with Nutanix Prism supports Day 1 and Day 2 workflows, enabling true VM-level snapshots, SafeMode™ ransomware protection, and simplified operations from a single interface​.
• Proven six-nines availability: FlashArray delivers 99.9999% uptime even during non-disruptive, in-place generational upgrades, unlike other options, which rely on N+1 redundancy with only two data copies​.
• Higher performance, lower footprint: FlashArray DirectFlash^® Modules scale up to 150TB per drive (300TB announced), offering more usable capacity with far fewer devices than others​.
• Advanced replication: Pure Storage supports asynchronous replication at GA with a roadmap toward ActiveDR™ and ActiveCluster™, enabling near-zero RPO/RTO recovery for Nutanix deployments​.

The Pure Storage platform architecture is simpler, faster, and more efficient—delivering a superior experience for Nutanix environments without the scale burden or complexity of traditional scale-out architectures.
