Kyndryl and Pure Storage have established a global alliance that combines Kyndryl’s knowledge and operational experience with Pure’s best-in-class storage technology to offer mission-critical capabilities to companies, according to a Pure Storage press release.

As part of the new alliance, Kyndryl will become Pure’s major delivery partner, expanding on previously integrated solutions and enhancing its current Pure expertise and capabilities, says Pure Storage.

Pure and Kyndryl will collaborate to deliver jointly optimised solutions to address the complex challenges that enterprises face in application and infrastructure modernization, automation, multi-cloud management, containerization, and other areas – providing cyber resiliency elements natively at the storage layer to enable cloud-based applications and data portability in the cloud or on-premises.

“Our alliance with Pure Storage can help customers identify and take advantage of new ways to manage, secure, and analyze their mission-critical multi-cloud business data,” said Stephen Leonard, Global Alliances & Partnerships Leader, Kyndryl. 

“We look forward to working with Pure to deliver advanced capabilities that customers can use to modernize and transform their businesses,” Leonard added.

“We’ve fostered a true collaboration with Kyndryl that will address our shared customers’ business challenges and drive the transformation and modernization they are undertaking. Our strategic relationship will provide market leading solutions that enable customers to maximize their data assets across their organizations with confidence,” said Wendy Stusrud, VP, Global Partner Sales, Pure Storage.

Kyndryl is pursuing a strategy that combines strong technical experience, worldwide industry knowledge, and best-in-class technology from partners in order to provide clients with complete and distinctive services. Pure’s partnership augments and supports Kyndryl’s approach by delivering sophisticated storage and data management solutions based on Pure’s ethos of simplicity, dependability, agility, and innovation, which distinguishes the firm from other infrastructure suppliers.

All new and enhanced joint offerings can be delivered as-a-service and charged on a consumption basis.
