FAQs

What is software-defined hybrid cloud infrastructure?

Converged infrastructure (CI) and hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) are yesterday’s architectures. Modern data demands the flexibility and scalability of software-defined infrastructure—cloud-smart infrastructure that is AI-managed and delivered as a service. FlashStack is that infrastructure. It runs your data centre and your cloud. The integrated storage, compute, and network layers are managed holistically, but still scale discreetly. With FlashStack as a Service, you can now provision each layer independently to precisely align your operating expenses with your IT usage.

People also ask:

1. What are the benefits of software-defined hybrid-cloud  infrastructure?

Common benefits of software-defined hybrid cloud or “smart” cloud  infrastructure solutions include:

  • Consolidation of storage, network, and compute resources into a single AI-managed  software and hardware solution

  • Alignment of the capacity requirements and infrastructure costs precisely to the IT requirements of your business. 

  • Infrastructure that is easy to manage, deploy, maintain, and scale from on-premises to multicloud environments.

2. What is FlashStack?

FlashStack is a software-defined hybrid-cloud infrastructure solution and holistic alternative to status quo converged and hybrid-converged infrastructure offerings. 

Developed jointly by Pure Storage and Cisco, FlashStack provides best-of-breed components that have been pre-tested and validated for the most popular and demanding workloads.

FlashStack is AI-managed, discreetly provisioned, and can be consumed as a service with no up-front costs. It scales without disruption as your business grows and provides a powerful, reliable platform for your cloud, business-critical applications, DevOps, and modern analytics—right out of the box.

3. How does FlashStack bring software-defined storage to the stack?

Software-designed storage (SDS) architecture from Pure decouples storage software from its hardware, giving you greater scalability, flexibility, and control over your data storage infrastructure. FlashStack delivers a software-defined solution featuring these benefits:

  • A single interface that manages your storage, compute, and network layers
  • Consumption monitored and managed in real time
  • Industry-leading data reduction 
  • Tier 1 resiliency with zero performance loss 
  • Built-in disaster recovery and protection 
  • Global flash management
