Azure Native Pure Storage Cloud is a jointly developed and managed enterprise-class cloud block storage service offered as an Azure Native Integration. [!INCLUDE what-is]
Pure Storage Cloud is designed for organizations that require scalable, flexible, and high-performance block storage in the cloud.
Typical use cases include:
- Running large-scale databases and analytics platforms that demand consistent performance and low latency
- Providing persistent storage for virtual machines and containerized applications in enterprise and cloud-native environments via Azure VMware Solution (AVS)
- Ensuring business continuity and rapid data recovery
- Reducing cloud costs by decoupling compute and storage resources for independent scaling and efficient resource utilization
The following key features are available for Pure Storage Cloud:
- Elastic capacity: Dynamically scale storage up or down to match workload requirements and pay only for what you use.
- Flexible performance: Independently scale performance and capacity to optimize for specific application needs.
- Thin provisioning: Allocate storage space efficiently to reduce wasted capacity and improve utilization.
- Instant resizing: Adjust storage volumes without downtime or disruption to applications.
- Snapshots: Create point-in-time copies of data for rapid recovery from data loss or corruption.
- Compute and storage decoupling: Decouple compute and storage resources for independent scaling and efficient resource utilization.
