Pure Storage acquisition
extends file capabilities,
accelerates hybrid cloud vision
ure Storage, a data solutions
leader that helps innovators
build a better world with
data, has announced that it has entered
into a definitive agreement to acquire
Compuverde, a leading developer of file
software solutions for enterprises and
cloud providers based in Sweden.
Compuverde will expand Pure Storage’s
file capabilities, enabling enterprises to
take advantage of advanced file offerings.
The additional functionality reinforces
Pure’s strategy to empower customers
to implement true hybrid architectures
— whether they choose to leverage data
on-prem, in the cloud or increasingly a
mix of both.
Within enterprises, there is a growing
demand for file-based shared storage in
the public cloud. According to IDC, 79% of
end-users leverage file-based storage for
unstructured data associated with mission-
critical workloads. As more enterprise
applications are deployed in a hybrid cloud
architecture, file-based storage that offers
the same advanced functionality as the
on-prem environment can help reduce
challenges to movement.
Compuverde brings a robust ecosystem of
technology partnerships and the company’s
highly scalable software solution is deployed
across global organisations in telecom,
financial services and media industries.

“We’re excited about the opportunities
that the Compuverde team and technology
bring to Pure’s existing portfolio,” said
Charles Giancarlo, Chairman and CEO. “As
IT strategies evolve, enterprises look to
leverage the innovations of the public cloud
in conjunction with their on-prem solutions.
Through our expanding suite of hybrid data
solutions such as Cloud Data Services, we
continue to help our customers make the
most of their data assets.”
The financial terms of the acquisition are
not being disclosed.
