What is Pure Cloud Block Store
Pure Cloud Block Store is a cloud-delivered block storage service that provides enterprise block volumes in public cloud environments. It targets infrastructure and storage teams that need persistent block storage for databases, virtual machines, and other stateful workloads running in the cloud. The service is designed to extend Pure Storage’s block storage capabilities into cloud deployments and is typically managed through Pure’s management tooling and cloud provider integrations.
Enterprise block storage in cloud
Provides block volumes intended for stateful workloads that require consistent performance and data services beyond basic cloud disks. It fits use cases such as database storage, VM datastores, and application volumes where teams want storage features aligned with on-prem block storage operations. This positions it as an infrastructure storage layer rather than a file-by-file migration utility.
Operational consistency across environments
Supports a common operational model for teams using Pure Storage in data centers and in public cloud. This can reduce rework in monitoring, provisioning, and day-2 operations compared with adopting entirely different cloud-native storage constructs. It is most relevant for organizations standardizing storage processes across hybrid deployments.
Integrates with cloud ecosystems
Runs in public cloud environments and is designed to integrate with cloud networking, identity, and compute services. This enables deployment near cloud workloads without building and operating storage hardware. It can support cloud adoption patterns where storage is provisioned as part of infrastructure-as-code and cloud operations workflows.
Not a migration-first tool
It is primarily a block storage service, not a dedicated SaaS migration platform for moving collaboration content or tenant data. Organizations focused on mailbox, SharePoint, or SaaS-to-SaaS migrations typically need separate migration tooling and workflows. As a result, it may not replace specialized migration products in the reference set.
Cloud and vendor dependency
Adoption ties block storage operations to both the chosen cloud provider environment and the Pure Storage service model. This can introduce constraints around portability, supported regions, and service availability compared with purely self-managed storage stacks. Teams with strict multi-cloud portability requirements may need additional abstraction or replication strategies.
Integration scope varies by workload
Compatibility and feature depth depend on the specific cloud platform, instance types, and the applications consuming the block volumes. Some advanced storage workflows may require careful design (for example, snapshot/backup integration, DR patterns, or Kubernetes CSI behavior) to match organizational requirements. Implementation often needs storage expertise rather than being a turnkey data integration tool.
Plan & Pricing
Pricing model: Pay-as-you-go (Evergreen//One consumption subscription) Free tier/trial: 45-day trial available on certain public cloud providers (trial license; customer pays cloud provider infrastructure costs). See vendor terms for details. **Example costs (MSRP, starting rates; all MSRP shown are "starting" rates and are based on host-written effective capacity for a 12-month term with reserve commitment; see notes below):
- Ultra (Tier 0): $0.145 per GiB/month — minimum commitment: 50 TiB (example: ultra/highest performance workloads)
- Premium (higher-performance tier): $0.100 per GiB/month — minimum commitment: 50 TiB
- Performance (Tier 1): $0.077 per GiB/month — minimum commitment: 50 TiB
- Adaptive (performance reserve + data): $2,267 per GB/s per month (performance reserve) and $0.014 per GiB/month (data) — minimum commitment: 100 TiB and 1 GB/s (sample MSRP shown)
- Capacity (capacity-optimized): $0.042 per GiB/month — minimum commitment: 200 TiB Add-ons / other catalog items:
- AI catalog: $400 per GB/s/month (minimum reserve: 30 GB/s) with $0.03 per GiB/month additional data consumed (sample MSRP)
- Unified Data Repository tiers: $0.016–$0.018 per GiB/month for very large (multi-year) archive terms (36-month minimums, large TiB minimums) **Notes & billing:
- MSRP values are "starting MSRP" on Pure Storage’s Evergreen//One catalog and are conditioned on a 12‑month term with specified reserve commitments (50 or 200 TiB typical). Greater discounts apply for longer terms and larger capacity commitments; contact Pure Storage for custom/volume pricing and marketplace-specific offers.
- Pricing is presented in Pure’s Evergreen//One catalog (Unified Block & File and other catalogs). Actual purchase may be via Pure, or via public cloud marketplaces (AWS, Azure) where Cloud Block Store is offered as a subscription and infrastructure charges from the cloud provider may apply.
