Everpure Cloud Azure Native for Azure VMs

In this episode of the Pure Report, we welcome back Sr. Director of Product Management, Cody Hosterman for a deep dive into the latest cloud innovations. Cody recaps his recent travels to VMware Explore and customer roadshows in Singapore, where discussions centered around AI infrastructure, modern virtualization, and data sovereignty. Our initial conversation sets up a detailed look at how organizations are evolving their hybrid cloud strategies and managing data across diverse environments.

Our main focus is the expansion of Everpure Cloud Azure Native to support Azure virtual machines. Cody explains how this managed service delivers enterprise data storage directly inside the Azure portal through native Azure Resource Manager APIs. By extending beyond Azure VMware Solution to native Azure workloads, customers gain access to thin provisioning, deduplication, and compression. These features significantly reduce cloud storage costs and eliminate the need to over provision raw block storage.

Beyond storage efficiency, our discussion covers practical integration details and deployment advantages. Cody highlights how the Azure extension simplifies multi-pathing, while full availability in the Azure Marketplace allows purchases to count toward existing cloud spending commitments. Our chat also explores how teams can leverage Azure Red Hat OpenShift and KubeVirt for modern application delivery, proving that intelligent data management is key to unlocking agility and long term value in public cloud environments.
