Pure Storage and Equinix Collaborate to Deliver Physical Infrastructure at Software Speed

Mountain View, Calif. – March 3, 2021 —  Pure Storage (NYSE: PSTG), the IT pioneer that delivers storage as a service in a multi-cloud world, and Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX), the world’s digital infrastructure company™, announced Pure Storage on Equinix Metal, a Bare Metal as a Service storage offering that delivers a unified, connected platform for any stage of an organization's cloud journey.

Enterprises are increasingly moving out of their own data centers to reduce management complexity and staff burden, and to increase the agility and efficiency of their IT environments. 57% of enterprises today have a strategic vision for hybrid IT with less of their data processed in their own data centers or the cloud. Regardless of where their data lives, enterprises still need control over their environment and the flexibility to react to business changes without having to manage everything on their own.

Pure Storage on Equinix Metal provides an environment in which physical, dedicated, single tenant servers and high-performance storage can be provisioned to customers with cloud-like ease and speed. The solution can eliminate upfront CAPEX investment for hardware and ongoing stack management by embedding storage and simple, on-demand procurement of network, storage and compute, with hosting, deployment, and support of all physical aspects via one vendor, under one contract. The solution can also lower operational costs and risks, and allows for more flexible, scalable, as a service delivery of IT infrastructure, empowering organizations to only pay for what they use, when they want to use it.
