The Future of Infrastructure Design: Data-Centric ArchitectureSAN FRANCISCO, May 23, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- At Pure//Accelerate 2018, Pure Storage (NYSE: PSTG), the all-flash storage platform that helps innovators build a better world with data, unveiled its vision for the future of infrastructure – a Data-Centric Architecture. With best-in-class storage purpose-built for modern workloads and challenges, Pure Storage helps "New meet Now" by continuing to deliver next-generation technology and collaborative partnerships that empower organizations to innovate. With the rise of machine learning and artificial intelligence technologies, data has shifted from informational asset to the core of innovation. It's no longer enough to just be data-driven – organizations must be data-centric. Modern organizations operate in a world of rapidly evolving applications, where future success is predicated on deriving intelligence from data to achieve competitive advantage and growth. This requires a modern foundation purpose-built to optimally store, share, and ultimately analyze data in a multi-cloud world. According to a survey conducted by MIT Technology Review and commissioned by Pure Storage, an overwhelming 86 percent of leaders say data is the foundation for making business decisions, while 87 percent say it's key to delivering results for customers. Data-centric architecture keeps data and applications in place while technology is built around it, and fundamentally transforms data center design with the data as its core element. "Our customers aggressively seek to use data to improve their customer experience and outdistance their competition," said Charles Giancarlo, CEO, Pure Storage. "The unprecedented explosion of data coupled with new data center technologies enables Pure customers to build a data-centric architecture that enhances and simplifies their ability to use data for intelligence and advantage."
