Better Science Volume 2: Maps, Metadata, and the Pyramid

The Pure Report

Jump in on a second episode of the Better Science series with guest host and Technical Evangelist Justin Emerson interviewing FlashArray engineer Feng Wang about how Pure maps data at scale with a single, scalable data structure. Managing storage in modern times requires a strategy for storing quadrillions of bits: petabytes of data, all stored efficiently on dense flash, with the ability to scale even larger in the future. But, how do you find anything in this huge ocean of bits? In this episode, Justin and Feng explore how the industry at large has approached this problem historically, talk about the current state of the art, and how Pure’s approach to this mapping problem is uniquely suited to today’s modern data landscape. Get ready to dive deep into why Pure makes architectural decisions to approach problems in new, innovative ways that have game-changing and long-lasting impacts.
