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 gain a full-stack virtual infrastructure that is modern, scalable and ready to handle the most mission-critical, data-intensive workloads, including AI.
Dan Kogan, VP of Product Management at Pure Storage, said: “The virtualisation 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 is 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 is 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 organisations streamline operations, strengthen security and reduce reliance on legacy virtualisation.
The Pure Storage platform delivers a unified, cloud-like storage-as-a-service foundation that consolidates block, file and object storage with simple, centralised management, reducing complexity and accelerating outcomes. Built on Evergreen architecture for non-disruptive upgrades and zero-downtime operations, it future-proofs IT estates while lowering cost, space and energy requirements, enabling teams to focus on innovation rather than migrations.
Pure Storage FlashArray, a core component of the platform, is engineered for high-performance workloads at enterprise scale. Its always-on global compression and deduplication deliver industry-leading data efficiency, often requiring significantly less hardware than alternative solutions. The platform’s modular NVMe architecture enables true disaggregated simplicity, separating compute and storage to deliver sub-millisecond latency across all workloads.
With full integration into Nutanix Prism, customers benefit from VM-level snapshots and seamless Day 1 and Day 2 operations, all managed from a single interface. FlashArray delivers six-nines availability, even during in-place upgrades, and scales with DirectFlash Modules to multiple petabytes of effective capacity, providing 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.
The 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 to Day 2 operations, with intelligent automation and integrated monitoring.
Nutanix AHV, the platform’s built-in hypervisor, reduces complexity and cost compared with third-party virtualisation 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 organisations meet compliance requirements.
Together, Pure Storage and Nutanix offer a full-stack solution that enables IT teams to modernise infrastructure. Customers can move away from legacy virtualisation dependencies towards a platform designed for better business outcomes. With Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure and Pure Storage FlashArray as the storage foundation, organisations gain a scalable, secure and high-performance solution that supports demanding workloads and aligns with evolving priorities.
Anthony Jackman, Chief Innovation Officer at Expedient, said: “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. This solution will allow Expedient to deliver guaranteed outcomes to our clients, with maximum flexibility, including the ability to leverage existing investments while modernising their infrastructure.”
