Pure Storage's Fusion for Fleet Management

Pure Fusion™ is a fundamentally different way to manage data storage, revolutionizing multi-array fleet management forever. Unlike legacy clusters, which are rigid and require new empty arrays, Pure Fusion will create a global pool of storage for existing arrays, fully backward compatible without the need for external servers or licenses.

In this lab, you will explore the promises that Fusion brings to storage management as you walk through the simple steps  to:
- create a Fleet
- add members
- view and manage resources at the Fleet-level
- create Presets
- deploy Workloads

This lab is backed by an environment with the following components (of which not all will be used for this specific lab):

• 2 x Pure Storage FlashArrays
• 2 x ESXi Servers (Site 1 and Site 2)
• 1 x vCenter Server
• 1 x Pure on-premises mediator VM
• 1 x Jumphost/AD/DNS Windows Server
• 1 x Linux Jumpbox Server
• 1 x Gitlab Server
• 1 x Tower Server
• multiple Windows and Linux VMs running on each ESXi server
