No proprietary agents or software is required to connect a Hyper-V host to FlashArray storage. Pure utilizes the Microsoft MPIO feature, Microsoft’s Device Specific Module (DSM), and either a Fibre Channel HBA, or a Network Adapter using Microsoft’s iSCSI Initiator.
-
Simplified management means no complicated storage configurations or caveats to utilize Everpure’s Purity features such as thin provisioning, data deduplication, replication, compression, and hardware snapshots. Manage with the preferred tool, Purity GUI or CLI, Pure1, PowerShell, Python, RestAPI, Windows Admin Center, and System Center Virtual Machine Manager.
-
Non-disruptive everything includes active/active controller high availability, mirrored NV-RAM, stateless controller architecture, hot-swappable components, and self-service non-disruptive Purity upgrades.
-
Easily replicate to another physical or Cloud Block Store FlashArray synchronously (ActiveCluster), asynchronously (Protection Group target), or continuously (ActiveDR). For high throughput recovery, replicate to S3 object storage on FlashBlade. For longer retention periods, CloudSnap to the cloud or NFS server.
-
Clone many copies of a VM or application in seconds to minutes without consuming additional full copies of the dataset on the FlashArray with space efficient snapshots and clones.
-
Enable SafeMode to protect against accidents and ransomware.
