Pure Storage announced Pure Storage Cloud for Microsoft Azure VMware Solution (AVS), a new fully managed block storage-as-a-service (STaaS) offering available for AVS. This new solution, soon to be in preview, will be offered as an Azure Native integration.

With this new service, businesses will have access to seamless cloud migration in a way that’s cost effective and eliminates the overhead of managing that cloud storage. 

"Enterprises have struggled for years with the inefficiencies and high costs tied to migrating VMware workloads to the cloud. Pure Storage Cloud for Microsoft Azure VMware Solution eliminates these obstacles by providing seamless, scalable storage as-a-service that scales efficiently and independently with business needs. With Microsoft, we're committed to helping customers unlock the full potential of their Azure cloud journey, while optimizing costs and maintaining the enterprise-grade resilience they expect," said Shawn Hansen, GM, Core Platform at Pure Storage.

For credit unions, this is one more thing that will allow them worry less about the operational intricacies and allow their teams to focus more on providing better service for their members.

"We're excited about the transformative potential of the new Pure Storage Cloud on Microsoft Azure VMware Solution that we recently previewed with Pure Storage. By leveraging Pure's advanced deduplication and compression capabilities compared to our current process, we anticipate significant savings in our Azure storage costs. This efficiency will allow us to allocate our resources more wisely and invest in other strategic areas of the credit union. The fully-managed service provides us the opportunity to concentrate more on innovation and less on operational complexities," so said Joe Ervolino, IT Infrastructure Manager at Dupaco Community Credit Union.
