The 4 Tenets of Modern Data Protection
A Proactive Approach to Data Availability and Resiliency Old-school data protection is merely an expensive insurance policy that deals reactively with disruption. Because preserving a copy of the data is the focus, day-to-day availability gets less attention. But this approach is out of step with the reality of always-on workflows. Today’s data models are widely distributed. They increasingly consist of multi-instance, multipremises, multi-cloud footprints. Software, digital products, and services underpin nearly every modern customer experience. Downtime equals lost sales, lost insights, and damaged reputations.
Successful organizations are taking a more forward-looking approach. Pure Storage® offers what you need for modern data protection. Pure solutions proactively provide the data availability and resiliency that 24x7 environments demand. When you implement modern data protection as an alwayson strategy, you’re ensuring data resilience for day-to-day operations that extends to recovery scenarios. That’s why Pure Storage adheres to a set of simple, powerful tenets to prioritize data recovery and business continuity.
The 4 Tenets of Modern Data Protection
Check the Recovery Box Pure’s foundation for business resilience is based on a well-defined recovery strategy. Pure Rapid Restore with FlashBlade™ accelerates datarecovery velocity from backups, enabling IT to close the availability gap between workgroup expectations and IT’s ability to deliver for both priority data and normal data by ensuring availability across all data sets. Pure Storage with FlashBlade helps modernize IT operations by providing backup target storage that allows you to continue using your preferred backup software from leading vendors, including Veritas, Commvault, and Veeam. You can also share infrastructure across other teams and use cases.
Put the Cloud to Work A “one storage” approach that uses cloud resources to extend the footprint of primary storage can minimize separate data-mobility tasks that infrastructure teams need to manage. Pure’s solutions integrate with VMware to enable this for on-premises private cloud. Pure Cloud Block Store™ and Purity CloudSnap™ extend the protection plan to public cloud, enabling teams to manage data across hybrid environments.

By Design
on Agile Reusability
A key component of modern data protection is near-constant availability, which begins with the design of the core IT infrastructure. Pure FlashArray™ (with its demonstrated 99.9999% uptime) and Purity ActiveCluster™ offer data resiliency through highly available infrastructure and multipremises synchronized instances. Active-active synchronous replication provides transparent, non-disruptive failover between arrays and sites. Automatic resync and recovery ensures business continuity across data centers or metro regions. It’s a model that works to minimize downtime for small issues and widens to become the disaster recovery failover solution in case of a large-scale outage.
Pure is dedicated to making data portable, easy-to-manage, and continuously available. Pure solutions enable a protection infrastructure that serves dual duty as a data hub foundation, eliminating the inefficiencies and security threats from groups keeping multiple copies of data or standing up shadow IT instances in public cloud. A fast, efficient data hub removes the motivation to circumvent IT controls because it lets you more efficiently access and store information that users need. Pure Storage further supports modern data protection with non-disruptive upgrades, a variety of consumption models, visibility across the storage environment, and data-at-rest encryption built-in.
Moving Forward Legacy data protection systems and strategies can prevent you from advancing and leave your organization vulnerable to a major data loss. The time has come to evolve to address distributed data, cloud extensions, non-stop workflows, and businesscritical software that demands always-on availability. Pure Storage offers solutions to give you greater velocity, availability, and a competitive edge. Get more information about improving data recoverability, availability, and resilience.
