Pure Storage and Nutanix have announced the general availability of a new integrated solution that combines the operational simplicity of Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure with the high-performance architecture of Pure Storage FlashArray, delivering improved application responsiveness and greater agility for business-critical workloads. Customers get a full-stack virtual infrastructure that’s modern, scalable, and ready to handle the most mission-critical, data-intensive workloads—AI included.
Commenting on the partnership, Dan Kogan, VP Product Management at Pure Storage, said, “The virtualization market is shifting fast. Licensing costs are climbing, vendor lock-in is real, and IT leaders are rethinking their entire stack. Nutanix and Pure Storage are stepping in with a fresh alternative—one that’s built for change and tuned for performance. Whether enterprises are dealing with sprawling VMs, managing high-performance databases, or planning their next AI deployment, this partnership is all about freedom, resilience, and future-ready infrastructure. It’s simple to deploy, easy to manage, and available now.”
A Modern Infrastructure Alliance
The Pure Storage platform and the Nutanix Cloud Platform together deliver a powerful, integrated solution for modern enterprise IT. Built for performance, simplicity, and resilience, this joint offering helps organizations streamline operations, strengthen security, and reduce reliance on legacy virtualization.
The Pure Storage platform delivers a unified, cloud-like storage-as-a-service foundation that consolidates block, file, and object with simple, centralized management, cutting complexity and accelerating outcomes. Built on Evergreen architecture for non‑disruptive upgrades and zero‑downtime operations, it future-proofs your estate while lowering cost, space, and energy so teams can focus on innovation instead of migrations.
Pure Storage FlashArray, a component of the storage platform, is engineered for high-performance workloads and enterprise scale. Its always-on global compression and deduplication deliver industry-leading data efficiency, often requiring significantly less hardware than alternatives. The platform’s modular NVMe architecture enables true disaggregated simplicity, separating compute and storage for sub-millisecond latency across all workloads.
With full integration into Nutanix Prism, customers gain VM-level snapshots and seamless Day 1 and Day 2 operations, all from a single interface.
FlashArray delivers six-nines availability, even during in-place upgrades, and scales with DirectFlash Modules up to multiple petabytes of effective capacity, offering more capacity with fewer devices. Advanced replication capabilities, including asynchronous replication and a roadmap to ActiveDR and ActiveCluster, further enhance business continuity for Nutanix environments.
Nutanix Cloud Platform simplifies and secures enterprise IT across hybrid environments. Nutanix Prism provides a unified, VM-centric interface that streamlines operations from Day 0 planning through Day 2 operations, offering intelligent automation and integrated monitoring.
Nutanix AHV, the platform’s built-in hypervisor, reduces complexity and cost compared to third-party virtualization while delivering enterprise-grade performance and scalability. Designed around virtual machines, it enables faster provisioning, easier scaling, responsive performance, and built-in resilience for business-critical applications. Nutanix Flow adds policy-driven microsegmentation and virtual networking, ensuring granular control over east-west traffic and helping meet compliance requirements.
Together, Pure Storage and Nutanix offer a full-stack solution that empowers IT teams to modernize infrastructure. Customers can step away from legacy virtualization dependency and toward a solution built for better business outcomes. With Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure and Pure Storage FlashArray as the storage foundation, organizations gain a scalable, secure, and high-performance solution that supports demanding workloads and aligns with evolving priorities.
“This is the partnership the industry has been waiting for—two companies with an unwavering commitment to performance, availability, and user experience from day one,” said Anthony Jackman, Chief Innovation Officer at Expedient. “This solution will allow Expedient to deliver a guaranteed outcome to our clients along with maximum flexibility, including the ability to leverage their existing investments while modernizing their infrastructure.”
