Pure Storage has announced an expanded, multi-year product and go-to-market partnership with Microsoft to deliver Pure’s storage capabilities to native Microsoft Azure services.
The new product will use Azure’s new Premium SSD v2 and introduce customers to Azure VMware Solution (AVS) in Preview.
Pure Cloud Block Store for Azure VMware Solutions is in Preview in 16 Azure regions globally.
The company claims that with the joint solution, customers can access enhanced features and functions. Topping the list is Optimising AVS costs. Pure Storage compression and deduplication technology means organisations can achieve a high data reduction ratio on VM workloads in Azure, the company claims.
