Canonical LXD native integration with Pure Storage FlashArray
Accelerating open source virtualization with Pure Storage FlashArray and Canonical LXD
Canonical and Pure Storage have collaborated to create a unified virtualization and storage platform that combines the lightweight, secure, and scalable open source virtualization of Canonical LXD with the high-performance, always-on storage of Pure Storage FlashArray.
This solution is designed to meet the growing enterprise demand for cost-efficient and agile infrastructure operations, offering an alternative to traditional hypervisors, reduced complexity, and seamless scaling. It also provides enterprise-grade data services like snapshots, deduplication, and always-on encryption, ensuring high availability and exceptional performance for modern workloads.
The integrated solution eliminates unnecessary abstractions between compute and storage, thereby improving performance and reducing latency for container and VM workloads. It simplifies management by allowing storage interactions directly from the virtualization layer and supports scaling without downtime.
This powerful combination is suitable for a wide range of use cases, including
- lightweight virtualization for enterprise applications
- edge computing and remote deployments
- hybrid and private cloud infrastructure
- secure multi-tenant hosting
- and accelerated Dev/Test and CI pipelines
