An Enterprise Data Cloud infrastructure streamlines the management of data coming from different applications

Pure Storage is a $3 billion organization. We have been in the leadership quadrant of Gartner for 12 consecutive years. Today, times are changing. There is a lot of uncertainty today, in terms of the geopolitical landscape, escalating cyber threat, and global tariff trade. Then there is a lot of spend happening on artificial intelligence and an unexpected spend on virtualization. But for partners, these uncertainties may also reveal new opportunities. IDC projects that by 2028, global spending on AI will reach nearly $600 billion. Cyber security will be the next largest area of investment, approaching roughly $400 billion. The other important thing predicted by IDC is that almost 95% of the total applications will be running on Kubernetes or cloud native based applications. And the other estimate is that almost 50% of the storage will come as services. Now is the time to support our customers in transforming and building new data platforms. If you look at the earlier storage, people used to buy storage based on utilization. If you have one application, you purchase one storage system. Then, for another application, you buy yet another storage solution. Over time, this results in multiple systems already in place. This highlights the need for a management system in order to manage data efficiently. Since the number of applications have risen over time, data management becomes a very imperative issue. The only option in this scenario is to build an enterprise data cloud architecture. We build our architecture on three major components. But one of the most important components is the Evergreen architecture that delivers the enterprise-grade features, IT agility, and sustainability your organization needs.
