MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., May 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Today at Pure//Accelerate™ Digital, Pure Storage^® (NYSE: PSTG), the IT pioneer that delivers storage as-a-service in a multi-cloud world, announced the new and improved Pure1^® Digital Experience. These enhancements give customers additional control by delivering new automated monitoring and AI-driven recommendation capabilities with self-service management and digital procurement.

IT teams are playing an increasingly central role in enabling the business, yet oftentimes remain saddled with burdensome IT management, troubleshooting, complex planning, and complicated purchasing processes. What they want is automation, self-service, and clear vendor SLAs to drive outcomes.

Similar to how Pure redefined the business models that underpin storage infrastructure with Evergreen^™ and Pure as-a-Service^™, the Pure1 Digital Experience is redefining the rest of the IT ownership experience, enabling IT teams to anticipate needs, acquire resources on their terms (and on their time frames) while eliminating risks to the business - around purchasing, data protection, and customer satisfaction.

"Pure has always innovated for a better customer experience - an experience that is simple and streamlined with unparalleled support. By giving our customers more control over their environments and active recommendations for solving problems before they happen, we're delivering on our Digital Experience vision and transforming the IT management experience yet again." -- Prakash Darji, VP and GM, Digital Experience, Pure Storage
