Editor's note

Pure Storage returned to Las Vegas with its Accelerate user conference June 17 to 19, 2025. Focus areas included the future of storage, how to solve demanding IT challenges, architecture for AI and intelligent data storage for healthcare.

Breakout sessions covered "everything from AI to zettabytes," according to the Pure//Accelerate website. Speakers included Pure Storage executives, such as CEO Charles Giancarlo, founder John Colgrove and CTO Rob Lee, as well as mentalist Oz Pearlman.

At last year’s conference, Pure Storage spotlighted AI as well, launching features such as a copilot for data management and data protection. In recent months, the storage vendor has expanded its QLC NAND partnership with Micron and provided a migration service from VMware to Microsoft Azure.

Catch up on news and analysis from just before this year's show and what happened at Pure//Accelerate 2025.
