Pure Cloud Block Store™ is enterprise-grade block storage for Azure. It’s the Purity Operating Environment, built to run on Azure infrastructure, bringing all of the enterprise-grade data services of FlashArray to the public cloud. Not only is it feature-rich, Pure’s industry leading data reduction features optimize the cost of storage in deployments as small as 30TB. And it’s available for Azure VMware Solution.

Pure’s Evergreen Architecture means that deployments deliver the best performance and experience possible. We evaluate all of Azure’s offerings as they are updated and introduced to make sure we’re using the best combination of services to deliver value to our customers, like our support of Premium SSD v2. All of our customers were able to realize the performance and cost benefits without having to re-architect.

This listing is for purchasing licenses for one or more Pure Cloud Block Store deployments. One license can be shared by as many deployments as needed and is only limited by the specific capacity consumption. For deployment, please refer CBS deployment listing here.
