I think we can say we've all been there. You're looking at a latency spike on a specific volume, or maybe you're trying to reclaim capacity for a new project. You see a ten TiB volume named PROD-TEMP-04. What is it? Is it a mission-critical database, or is it
00:16
just some old dev environment somebody forgot to delete? Now, historically, finding that answer meant sinking hours of your life into the investigation phase. You're trying to correlate host data with an outdated CMDB, scouring through old tickets to find who requested the volume in the first place, or heaven forbid, just mass emailing
00:35
every app owner of the company asking, "Does anybody know what this is?" That visibility gap. We know everything about the storage, but almost nothing about the data inside it. But today, we're beginning to close that gap with Pure1's Data Intelligence. In the world of IT, and really life for that matter, Kontxtual is everything.
01:00
It's like when somebody gets really excited telling you about their new high-powered binoculars. You're thinking, "Great, an avid bird watcher." But then they tell you they mainly use them while sitting in their parked car in the middle of town. Suddenly, the context changed, and you're looking for some new friends.
01:18
Now, without context, managing storage is a lot like bird watching when you don't know anything about birds like me. You see something fly by, you know it's there, but you have no clue what it is. Now, Pure1 Data Intelligence is the digital field guide that can help you identify the species of your data.
01:36
For example, say we're troubleshooting a volume in Pure1, zracku04. Now, rack could be Oracle Database, but it could mean something entirely different. That's the fun thing about acronyms. Again, context matters. Now, jumping into Data Intelligence, we can simply enter the name of the volume into our
01:54
filters and quickly confirm that this is in fact housing an Oracle Database running on an EXT4 file system. So let's talk about the magic bringing us this information. Starting in Purity 6.10 for FlashArray, we've introduced a native Data Intelligence engine that collects metadata such as file type and size, along with aggregated file-level
02:16
statistics like total counts, directory structures, and size distribution. This scan runs natively on the array, so there aren't any additional plugins or agents that you need to install. But let's get one thing very clear. Everpure is not performing any file introspection for this. It's all based on metadata, kind of looking at the outside of a piece of mail.
02:38
There are clues we can use to guess such as the address, weight, and the type, but we are not looking at the contents inside. And this isn't just a dashboard. It's an automated global audit for your Everpure storage. Now, in the past, if you needed a report on your SQL Server or Oracle footprint for a
02:57
true-up or a migration plan, you'd have to assign an engineer to spend a week or more collecting this information. And even then, it was a static snapshot that was out of date the moment that it was printed. Now, with Data Intelligence, it's a live map. And we can drill down to precise details.
03:15
So when we click on a specific volume like this zsqlvol01, we get to see the anatomy of the data. We can see exactly how much space is being taken up by transaction logs versus the actual database. And having this in context with the volume details, if you see those T logs starting to swallow up your capacity, you know you've got a backup or a truncation issue before it even
03:39
triggers that 3:00 a.m. Wake-up call. Plus, having that protection status right there is how you verify you have an adequate safety net for this app. In this case, that caution status is a clear signal we could be doing better. And this is your direct invitation to launch into the Pure1 Protection Assessment, where
03:57
you'll get the exact blueprint on how to close those gaps and lock things down. With Pure1 Data Intelligence, we're giving you the Kontxtual to finally bridge that visibility gap so you can stop asking, "What is that?" and start knowing exactly what to do next. So log into Pure1 and check out Data Intelligence today. And if you want to dive deeper into what Everpure has to offer, check out Pure1.
