Issue/Introduction
This article provides information about using Pure Storage on VMware SDDC 4.1 including target use cases, solution architecture, hardware and software components (including name and version), and solution capabilities.
Environment
VMware Validated Designed for Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC)
Resolution
Disclaimer: The Pure Storage on VMware SDDC 4.1 is available through VMware’s certified delivery partners. Please email [email protected] to obtain the solution and support by designated partners.
Use cases
The Pure Storage on VMware SDDC 4.1 solution provides a completely configured VMware Software Defined Data Center (SDDC) built to a standardized format and architecture, pre-tested, and validated with Pure Storage all-flash platform. This provides the foundation for a private cloud which can be quickly scaled up (or down) and allows existing VMware virtualized data center clients to leverage a highly performant and simple to management storage platform from Pure Storage for their virtualized mission critical applications.
This also enables companies to address such issues as rapid capacity expansion, migration of workloads to the cloud, establishing cloud based backup and disaster scenarios, and the ability to set up development and test environments. with a high performance and simple to manage storage infrastructure.
Solution Architecture

Solution Capabilities
The Pure Storage on VMware SDDC 4.1 offering provides the basic building blocks for a highly scalable and automated SDDC that can be easily integrated with on-premises and public clouds based on the VMware platform.
Preconfigured Cloud building blocks that include several bare metal servers and associated VMware stack provide a starting point for scalability, automation and seamless integration to hybrid cloud. This provides short time to value and cost effective implementation using best practices.
The addition of the Pure Storage FlashArray Data Platform as part of the VMware Certified Partner Architecture ensures a storage infrastructure that is highly performant and simple to management while fully integrated with VMware vRealize solutions for the SDDC.
Support Information
The VMware Ready Certified Partner Architecture program certifies partner solution architecture based on its compliance to VMware Validated Design IT Automation Cloud 4.1.0. For more information on the VMware Validated Designs, please see https://www.vmware.com/software-defined-datacenter/validated-designs. This certification agreement is between VMware and the certified partner for a specific solution architecture only. The partner solution architecture referenced in this article is developed and supported by a approved VMware delivery partner. It is partner’s responsibility to ensure that the solution architecture is deployed on VMware supported hardware and align hardware with VMware Compatibility Guide (VCG) or custom VMware support agreement (RPQ).
