Smarter VMware Cloud: Enterprise Performance & Security with Disaggregated Storage - July 24th, 2025

Modernizing VMware workloads in the cloud doesn't have to mean sacrificing control or overspending. In this session, learn how to run enterprise VMware environments more efficiently in the cloud of your choice whether it's Azure VMware Solution (AVS) or Elastic VMware Service (EVS) by leveraging the Pure Storage cloud portfolio of products.

We'll demonstrate how separating storage from compute enables greater agility, cost savings, and resilience across Azure and AWS-based VMware deployments. Technical demo videos will focus on data migration and disaster recovery scenarios, helping you build a more scalable and future-proof cloud foundation using proven enterprise storage capabilities.

What you'll learn:
- Skip the Refactor: Move VMware workloads to Azure without rewriting or re-architecting.
- Cut the Waste: Slash costs by scaling storage and compute separately - only pay for what you use.
- Keep It Simple: Deploy enterprise-grade storage from the Azure Portal - no custom work required.
- Stay Protected: Get built-in resilience, encryption, and data protection.
- Run VMware Your Way: Leverage Pure Storage's deep VMware integrations for a seamless hybrid experience.

If you're weighing your options or planning your next move, this session will show you how to simplify your cloud journey without compromising performance, control, or cost.

Hosted by Pure Storage:
Kyle Grossmiller, Principal Cloud Technical Specialist
