Sustainability isn\u2019t just a critical component of environmental, social and governance goals \u2014 it\u2019s becoming something that shareholders and customers are demanding as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are benefits for organizations\u201d bottom lines regarding power, cooling and footprint costs. Given shareholder demands and <\/span>ongoing global trends<\/span><\/a>, getting a sustainable strategy in place is a crucial requirement.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAdd to that the energy challenges facing Europe, the effects of global inflation, and even more advanced technologies like machine intelligence, and you\u2019ve got a perfect storm where technology can provide some relief to organizations,\u201d said industry analyst<\/span> Dave Vellante<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On Dec. 6, theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media\u2019s livestreaming studio, will dive into the big questions surrounding IT sustainability during the <\/span>\u201cPure Storage: The Path to Sustainable IT\u201d event<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0 Vellante and co-host <\/span>Lisa Martin<\/span><\/a>, will speak with Pure Storage Inc.\u2019s <\/span>Nicole Johnson<\/span><\/a>, global head of social impact and sustainability, and <\/span>Ajay Singh<\/span><\/a>, chief product officer, as well as <\/span>Mattia Ballerio<\/span><\/a>, technology solutions manager with Elmec Informatica, <\/span>about the role they see technology playing on the road to sustainability and how Elmec evolved its business to use sustainability as a competitive advantage. <\/span>(* Disclosure below.)<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

On the path to sustainability<\/h3>\n

A little more than a month ago, Pure Storage launched a fully managed version of its Kubernetes-focused data management platform,<\/span> Portworx Enterprise<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>which the company says allows DevOps teams to move container-based apps into productions in seconds. Portworx-as-a-service removes the headache of maintaining multiple Kubernetes clusters with a hosted solution that allows teams to focus on their workloads instead of the management tools, Moor Insights & Strategy analyst Steve McDowell told SiliconANGLE.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a great approach that\u2019s more flexible than the managed Kubernetes offerings from the public cloud providers, which tend to only work on clusters hosted within a single cloud,\u201d he said. \u201cPortworx allows you to manage any Kubernetes cluster within reach of your network. That\u2019s a powerful capability.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

A month prior, Pure Storage said it was <\/span>adding new analytics tools<\/span><\/a> to its server hardware to help customers reach their sustainability goals.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cRunning our organization on Pure Storage FlashArray, FlashBlade, Pure1 and Evergreen\/\/One, has not only enabled us to significantly improve the storage performance and data accessibility needed to deliver on this mission, but it has also allowed us to save on space, power and cooling,\u201d said Cengage Chief Information Officer Jim Chilton, one of Pure Storage\u2019s customers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The tools enabled Cengage to reduce its overall storage footprint by 80% while doubling to tripling the performance of its previous storage systems, according to Chilton.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tapping into innovation<\/b><\/h3>\n

Pure Storage has also focused on other technology innovations that customers can utilize to address their energy consumption, <\/span>including AI<\/span><\/a>. The company also posted information tracking its <\/span>ESG goals on its website<\/span><\/a> and is one of the rare companies that allows users to access its <\/span>Gartner Magic Quadrant<\/span><\/a> online.<\/span><\/p>\n

While Pure still has room for improvement in areas such as gender and ethnic diversity, they should receive kudos for publishing their stats and goals so others can track that progress, according to Vellante. Vendor R&D is beginning to show \u201ctangible results\u201d in systems design, automation and machine intelligence today, he added.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>Pure\u2019s vision is to empower innovators to build a better world with data,\u201d wrote Charles Giancarlo, Pure Storage chairman and CEO, in the company\u2019s <\/span>2021 ESG report<\/span><\/a>. \u201cOur long-standing<\/span><\/p>\n

strategy for achieving that vision is through delivering a simple, evergreen data platform that<\/span><\/p>\n

enables everyone to turn data into intelligence and advantage.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
