Latest recognition marks eleventh consecutive year of Pure Storage being recognized as a Gartner Magic Quadrant Leader

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Pure Storage® (NYSE: PSTG), the IT pioneer that delivers the world’s most advanced data storage technology and services, today announced it has been recognized by Gartner as a Leader in the Magic Quadrant for Primary Storage Platforms, positioned highest on the Ability to Execute axis and furthest on the Completeness of Vision axis. The latest recognition by Gartner marks the fifth consecutive year that Pure Storage has been positioned highest and furthest in this report, as well as the eleventh consecutive year as a Gartner Magic Quadrant Leader.

Industry Significance:

Enterprises are grappling with a range of challenges: from scaling AI initiatives, to defending against evolving cyber threats, to managing energy consumption. Traditional IT infrastructure has proven to be inadequate, riddled with inflexible storage solutions that can’t keep up with rapid technological advancements and performance needs. This lack of agility hampers AI growth and heightens vulnerability to sophisticated cyberattacks, while increasing energy costs and power demands add further strain. To tackle these challenges, businesses require a modernized data infrastructure that provides the agility, reliability, and efficiency necessary for effective solutions.

Platform Momentum:

The Pure Storage Platform delivers unmatched agility and risk reduction with a simple, unified storage platform and flexible as-a-service experience for the broadest range of use cases – from on-premises to the public cloud to hosted environments. Central to the platform, the often imitated but never duplicated Evergreen® architecture ensures continuous, non-disruptive upgrades, enabling enterprises to quickly adapt in today’s dynamic business landscape. With the industry’s most comprehensive set of concurrent SLAs, customers get the reliability, performance, and energy efficiency required to modernize their businesses.

The Pure Storage Platform has introduced several innovations and industry-first milestones over the past year to help organizations accelerate their AI initiatives, improve cyber resiliency and address today’s pressing power challenges, including:

First Purpose-Built AI Storage-as-a-Service: Evergreen//One™ for AI guarantees storage performance for GPUs to support training, inference, and HPC workloads, extending Pure’s position for capacity subscriptions, and introduces the ability to purchase based on dynamic performance and throughput needs. This unique SLA eliminates the need for planning or overbuying.First-of-its-Kind Storage Automation: Pure Fusion™ seamlessly integrates and optimizes storage pools for both structured and unstructured data, across on-premises and cloud environments. Embedded in the Purity operating system, Fusion will soon be available across the entire Pure Storage Platform to all global customers.First Generative AI Copilot for Storage: Raising the bar again for simplicity, the industry’s first generative AI copilot for storage represents a radically new way to manage and protect data using natural language. This leverages data insights from tens of thousands of customers to guide storage teams through every step of complex and unforeseen performance and management issues and staying ahead of security incidents.Intelligence-Driven Security Assessment: The assessment provides deep visibility into fleet-level security risks and offers actionable insights to maximize cyber resilience. Based on aggregated intelligence across 10k+ environments, it delivers numerical scores to benchmark an entire storage fleet’s security posture, while also offering best practices to align with NIST 2.0 standards, advance regulatory compliance, remediate potential security anomalies, and rapidly restore operations. Pure’s AI copilot leverages the assessment to provide CISOs the ability to benchmark security posture against other Pure customers.Industry-First Paid Power and Rack Commitment: Pure Storage pays for its customers’ power and rack space through Evergreen//One, taking responsibility for the associated costs of power and rack unit to run our offerings. As AI workloads become increasingly power-hungry and data center demands surge, Pure’s paid power and rack solution—combined with 10x lower power consumption—helps IT manage rising electricity costs and space constraints more efficiently.

Docking Drawer to Revolutionize Appliance Garage Safety at KBIS 2025

Published

on

By

Docking Drawer, the leader in in-drawer outlet solutions, is set to showcase its newly configured Safety Interlock Outlets for appliance garages at the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) in Las Vegas this February 2025.

SAN RAMON, Calif., Jan. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Docking Drawer’s Unwavering Dedication to Safety

“At Docking Drawer, we’re not just creating products; we’re setting new standards for safety and functionality.”

When it comes to safety, no one in the industry matches the focus and innovation of Docking Drawer. Their Safety Interlock Outlets for appliance garages bring a unique, forward-thinking solution to an often-overlooked area in kitchen design. These safety outlets automatically de-energize an appliance garage power source when the cabinet door is closed, ensuring that appliances are safely powered off when contained inside the cabinet.

Docking Drawer is also the only company dedicated to creating in-cabinet electrical solutions that meet the strict code requirements of the Canadian marketplace. Their Safety Interlock Outlets are designed to make in-cabinet electricity compliant in Canada while offering consumers in all regions an additional layer of safety for in-cabinet power.

Advanced Limit Switch Technology

Docking Drawer’s Safety Interlock Outlets for appliance garages utilize an advanced Limit Switch system, designed to work seamlessly with power outlets concealed by a cabinet door. This intuitive feature detects when the cabinet door is closed, instantly cutting power to the connected outlet and all powered appliances.

Now Compatible with Any Appliance Garage Door

An updated Limit Switch feature now offers different switch options to accommodate all appliance garage door types, including traditional cabinet doors, pocket door setups, and more. The newly designed Limit Switch now offers two functions to choose from:

Power Off When Limit Switch is Depressed: This state is ideal for traditional cabinet doors, where closing the door depresses the switch to cut power safely.Power On When Limit Switch is Depressed: This state is perfect for pocket doors, where the door being pushed back upon opening activates the switch, turning the power on.

Customizable Connectivity

The flexibility of Docking Drawer’s solutions also allows for connecting multiple limit switches to a single safety outlet or vice versa, offering customization options to adapt to the unique demands of any project.

“At Docking Drawer, we’re not just creating products; we’re setting new standards for safety and functionality,” states Scott Dickey, founder of Docking Drawer. “Our Safety Interlock Outlets represent the culmination of our dedication to innovation and empowering homeowners and professionals with safer, more organized spaces—even beyond the kitchen and bathroom.”

Join Us at KBIS 2025

Don’t miss the opportunity to experience the future of kitchen safety. Visit Docking Drawer at KBIS 2025 in Las Vegas this February to see firsthand how their Safety Interlock Outlets are revolutionizing appliance garage safety.

About Docking Drawer:

Founded in 2014, Docking Drawer offers a full array of ETL Listed electrical solutions.

We want to support the pressing need for sustainable mining practices, resilient supply chains, and value-driven partnerships in the minerals industry.”

Importantly, the outcomes of the Ministerial Roundtable are not confined to the event itself but form an ongoing, year-round program. Regional Coordination Groups will continue to drive the implementation of key initiatives.

“FMF is emerging as the largest global hub for minerals collaboration and action – no other platform brings together government ministers and senior industry leaders at this scale.” Al-Mudaifer concluded.
