#109 – An Overview of ObjectEngine with Brian Schwarz

19 July 2019 by Chris Evans

In this episode, Chris talks to Brian Schwarz, VP of Product Management for FlashBlade and ObjectEngine at Pure Storage.  ObjectEngine is a scale-out de-duplication engine that efficiently writes data to either FlashBlade or public cloud object stores.  The solution developed from the acquisition of StorReduce in 2018.

ObjectEngine was conceived when Pure Storage observed customers using FlashBlade for backup data.  The FlashBlade platform was originally developed for high-performance file-based applications like analytics.  De-duplication wasn’t integrated natively as an initial design decision.  Combining ObjectEngine with FlashBlade enables space saving ratios of around 8:1 or greater.

You can learn more about FlashBlade, ObjectEngine and other Pure technologies at Pure Accelerate.  The event will be held in Austin this year, between 15-18 September 2019.  You can follow Brian online at https://twitter.com/theschwarzbwthu (which we think is a Star Wars reference).
