Like his whole approach has been, if you can connect to us, you can use us. It doesn't matter what you're doing, we're going to support you, right? Yeah, yeah. And we actually made a change to our compatibility in Interop KB about a year ago, two years ago, probably almost now, where we kind of outlined it in much more official language. If you can connect to us for external storage, whether that's for block or for file, we're going to support you. Now, what support it is, it is going to be more array focused, right? You know, it is going to be very like, hey, let's make sure everything's operating correctly at the array level. The FlashBlade and FlashArray, they're working correctly. Everything's good with it. Or is there something wrong? Or is there something that we need to fix on our end? Or is it something between these two that we need to fix?

TL;DR

  • Everpure supports any hypervisor that can connect to its storage platform, eliminating concerns about hypervisor lock-in for customers.
  • This open support policy was formally documented in the Everpure Interop KB approximately two years ago using official compatibility language.
  • Support is array-focused, meaning the team ensures FlashBlade and FlashArray are operating correctly rather than troubleshooting the hypervisor itself.

Summary

This short clip addresses a common concern among storage administrators: whether Everpure (Pure Storage's storage platform) supports their specific hypervisor environment. The answer is straightforward — if you can connect to Everpure for external storage, whether via block or file protocols, the company commits to supporting you. This policy was formally codified in an update to their Interop KB (compatibility documentation) approximately two years ago, moving from informal practice to official language. The scope of that support is important to understand: it is array-focused rather than hypervisor-specific. That means Everpure's support team will concentrate on ensuring the FlashBlade and FlashArray hardware and software are operating correctly, diagnosing whether issues originate at the array level or somewhere in the connection between the hypervisor and the storage system. This approach is designed to eliminate hypervisor lock-in concerns and give customers flexibility in their virtualization choices without sacrificing vendor support coverage.

FAQ

Does Everpure support my specific hypervisor?

Yes, as long as you can connect to Everpure for external storage — whether block or file — Everpure commits to supporting you. The policy is connection-based, not hypervisor-specific.

What does Everpure's hypervisor support actually cover?

Support is array-focused. Everpure will ensure FlashBlade and FlashArray are operating correctly and help determine whether any issue originates at the array level or in the connection between the array and your environment.
