About the Pure Storage Coffee Break Series: Each month, we invite experts in technology and business to chat about the themes driving today’s IT agenda. This is no webinar or training session. It’s a freewheeling conversation that’s as fun as it is informative—and the perfect way to break up your day. While we’ll wander into Pure Storage technology, our goal is to educate and entertain rather than sell.
