Everpure, Inc. (formerly known as Pure Storage, Inc.) is an American publicly traded technology company that develops and provides enterprise-grade, all-flash data storage hardware and software solutions. Headquartered in Santa Clara, California, the company focuses on block, file, and object storage with cloud-ready capabilities. It delivers a unified, evergreen platform designed to simplify data management across on-premises, public cloud, and hybrid cloud environments, particularly targeting data-intensive workloads such as analytics, containers, and artificial intelligence. The company was founded in October 2009 as Os76 Inc. by John "Coz" Colgrove (a veteran Veritas engineer) and John Hayes (from Yahoo!'s distributed systems team) under the auspices of Sutter Hill Ventures. Their core mission was to modernize data center storage by leveraging flash technology to deliver Tier-1 reliability with superior speed, efficiency, and sustainability, bypassing the mechanical bottlenecks of traditional hard disk drives. To make expensive solid-state media commercially viable, they engineered the Purity Operating Environment, utilizing inline deduplication and compression to increase effective capacity while reducing costs. In February 2026, the company officially rebranded from Pure Storage to Everpure to reflect its strategic evolution into broader data management, protection, and AI-enabled infrastructure solutions, continuing to trade on the New York Stock Exchange under its original ticker symbol, PSTG. Everpure’s core product portfolio spans several major brands and technologies. FlashArray serves primary block-storage workloads such as databases and virtual machines, while FlashBlade provides a scale-out platform for unstructured file and object data, heavily utilized in AI and modern analytics. Its cloud-based management platform, Pure1, offers unified fleet visibility and predictive analytics. Through its 2020 acquisition of Portworx, the company expanded into Kubernetes-native container storage and data management. Strategically, Everpure differentiates itself through its Evergreen subscription and upgrade programs, which pioneered a Storage-as-a-Service model that permits non-disruptive hardware and software controller upgrades without the need for traditional, disruptive forklift replacements. The company operates globally across the Americas, EMEA, and APAC regions, catering to over 13,500 customers, including enterprise businesses, public sector entities, and service providers. For the fiscal year ending January 31, 2025, Everpure reported annual revenue of $3.17 billion, marking a 12 percent year-over-year growth, alongside its first full-year GAAP net income of $106.7 million. This growth has been increasingly fueled by its subscription services, which account for roughly 40 percent of total revenue. Led by Chairman and CEO Charles Giancarlo since 2017, the company maintains a global workforce of approximately 6,500 employees, including a significant subsidiary footprint in India through Pure Storage India Private Limited, which was incorporated in 2018 and employs over 740 individuals.
