Pure Storage CEO Charles Giancarlo rocks on, along with his company
A visit to the Pure Accelerate gathering in San Francisco this past week was a chance to walk amid the ghosts of history. Held at the century-old Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, the conference offered attendees an experience of listening to keynotes from the same stage where the Democratic National Convention was held in 1920, Martin Luther King delivered a speech and legendary rock artists such as the Grateful Dead and Bob Dylan once played.
Mindful of where he stood, Charles Giancarlo (pictured), chief executive officer of Pure Storage Inc., used the keynote opportunity to recall his own days as a youth attending concerts in the heyday of rock and roll. “I always thought if I found myself on the stage, there would be a couple of security guys dragging me off,” Gaincarlo quipped.
These days, Pure’s CEO can stay onstage as long as he wants. The company is riding a wave of momentum for its all-flash storage solutions, with a quarterly year-over-year revenue increase of 40 percent and the addition of 300 new customers, including the U.S. Department of Energy. Whatever tune Giancarlo is playing on the enterprise technology stage, storage customers are clapping along.
“It’s a recognition that Pure is playing a very important role in the data processing and high-tech landscape,” Giancarlo said.
Giancarlo spoke with Dave Vellante (@dvellante) and Lisa Martin (@LuccaZara), co-hosts of theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s mobile livestreaming studio, during the Pure Storage Accelerate event in San Francisco. Among the topics they discussed: the importance of hot storage for data access, recent announcements surrounding its data-centric solutions, investment in research and development and his belief that growth will likely keep the company independent. (* Disclosure below.)
This week theCUBE features Charles Giancarlo as its Guest of the Week.
‘Always available’ storage
Pure’s solutions are playing to the growing need for businesses to provide access to customer data on an “always-available” basis. In the online banking world, for example, customers might need access to their checks from five years ago for a tax audit and they don’t want to wait weeks to get that information.
The all-flash data solutions provided by Pure Storage are directly engineered to facilitate “hot” access and availability so that information can be analyzed on the spot. “Right now, only 1 percent of the data that companies have can really be analyzed because it’s being kept in cold storage,” Giancarlo said. “At Pure, we believe in no cold storage. It’s all got to be hot; it’s all got to be available.”
One important use case for always-accessible data can be found in Paige.AI, a startup company seeking to transform manual processes for cancer diagnosis. Equipped with more than 25 million pathology slides and images, Paige.AI is using the Pure Storage FlashBlade to speed up pathology evaluation for cancer patients.
“Pure is the one company that actually believes there is real innovation to be had in storage,” Giancarlo said. “You want your cancer pathology to be analyzed really quickly. That’s what this engine can do.”
Pure used the Accelerate gathering to announce its “Data-Centric Architecture,” a set of technologies designed to let customers derive more value from data. The announcements included a new FlashArray//X product line built for shared accelerated storage; the AIRI Mini, which expanded Pure’s AI-ready infrastructure offerings; and the Evergreen Storage Service, which provides a cloud-like model for on-premises storage needs.
Pure’s software is designed to enable storage flexibility for any flash environment, creating one tier that meets many needs at the same time. “We’re able to take low-quality flash and make it look like high-quality flash because our software adapts to whatever the specific characteristics of the flash are,” Giancarlo said. “We believe this is an architecture that really sets our customers’ data free.”
High R&D investment
Part of Pure’s innovation strategy involves bringing nonvolatile memory connected commodity flash into widespread adoption. That takes considerable investment in research and development.
