Everpure Cloud Azure Native takes advantage of Pure’s deep integration with VMware environments. As a result, most routine storage operations can be performed directly within the vSphere Client using the Everpure Plugin for VMware.

The Everpure Cloud Azure Native vSphere plugin is based on the same codebase as the FlashArray vSphere Plugin, but it is scoped and streamlined for the managed Everpure Cloud Azure Native service rather than general-purpose FlashArray management.

Scope and target systems:

  • Manages only PSC Azure Native storage pools connected to Azure VMware Solution (AVS).

  • Does not discover or manage on-premises FlashArray systems, and does not expose array-wide administration (hardware, upgrades, generic configuration) that is available in the FlashArray plugin home screen.

Datastore types and feature sets:

  • Supports VMFS datastores backed by PSC Azure Native.

  • Focuses on VMFS datastore lifecycle, e.g. datastore Create, Mount, Unmount, Destroy, Snapshot management etc..

These differences reflect that PSC Azure Native is a managed cloud service with a VMFS‑centric feature set.
