Convergence with choice: Cisco, Pure Storage, and Nutanix introduce FlashStack with Nutanix

In his recent blog, Redefining infrastructure strategy for a fragmented, hybrid future, Cisco Senior Vice President and General Manager Jeremy Foster outlined how organizations are moving toward intelligent distribution—balancing performance, governance, and agility across data center, cloud, and edge environments.

As customers plan for this shift, they’re looking for infrastructure that supports both mission-critical applications and the rapid expansion of modern, data-intensive workloads. They consistently ask for flexibility, operational simplicity, and the ability to extend existing investments without disruption.

Today, we’re announcing the general availability of FlashStack with Nutanix, a jointly validated solution from Cisco, Pure Storage, and Nutanix that brings together compute, storage, and software innovation in a modular converged architecture.

What FlashStack really is (and why it matters)

For more than a decade, FlashStack has represented a tightly engineered partnership between Cisco and Pure Storage, combining the following into a single, pre-validated system:

• Cisco UCS compute and Cisco networking
• Pure Storage FlashArray

Every FlashStack architecture is built from rigorously tested and jointly documented Cisco Validated Designs (CVDs).

FlashStack eliminates the guesswork of building infrastructure from standalone components, offering:

• Predictable, high-performance architecture
• Guaranteed interoperability
• Reduced deployment risk
• Faster time to…
