Summary
Pure1 now brings agentic AI to infrastructure operations with automation and fleet-wide storage intelligence to help teams troubleshoot faster, optimize resources, and manage infrastructure at scale.
AI is quickly becoming a foundational part of modern infrastructure operations. From copilots and intelligent agents to automated workflows, organizations are looking to AI to help teams move faster, operate more efficiently, and manage increasingly complex environments.
The missing piece has been access to infrastructure intelligence. While AI excels at reasoning and synthesis, it has traditionally lacked visibility into the operational data that drives infrastructure decisions around performance, capacity, protection, workload dependencies, and fleet-wide health. Without that context, AI can only see part of the operational picture.
Everpure is helping close that gap.
MCP: The protocol that connects AI to your infrastructure
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is the open standard that defines how AI models connect to external data sources and tools. Think of it as the USB-C of AI integrations: a universal connector. Any compatible AI system can talk to real-world data without a custom integration project every time.
There are two MCP servers available with the Everpure Platform today: the Pure1® Manage MCP Server and the Everpure Fusion™ MCP Server.
Together, they help in connecting AI systems with real-time storage and infrastructure intelligence. Whether it’s Claude Desktop, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, an enterprise copilot, or a custom agentic framework, organizations can securely connect AI tools to Pure1 telemetry and Everpure Fusion fleet context using an open standard. No additional licensing required.
Your fleet, queryable in plain language
The Pure1 Manage MCP Server is the agentic interface to Pure1. It exposes all read-only Pure1 Manage REST APIs through MCP, so any compatible AI can answer questions that previously required opening dashboards, running scripts, or pulling in a storage expert.
“Which arrays are nearing capacity risk this week?” becomes a simple natural language query rather than a manual investigation.
The Everpure Fusion MCP Server goes deeper. Open source and available from the Everpure Open Connect GitHub organization, it exposes storage telemetry, configuration, fleet topology, and planning data across Everpure Fusion, FlashArray™, and FlashBlade® environments. Where Pure1 MCP gives your AI a management plane view, Everpure Fusion MCP gives it visibility inside the fleet itself.
Think about what that combination does to a troubleshooting scenario. A database slows down. The DBA checks query plans. The storage admin pulls array performance metrics. The platform engineer tries to correlate the two across tools and tickets. It takes time and expertise at every step. With Pure1 MCP and Everpure Fusion MCP working together, AI systems can correlate storage telemetry, configuration data, and application context to rapidly identify likely causes, reduce investigation time, and help teams reach resolution faster.
Both servers are read-only by design. No write operations are exposed. Your existing Pure1 roles and permissions govern every request. Infrastructure leaders can open live fleet data to the AI tools their teams already use with confidence that nothing changes without a human decision.
This is the same protocol already powering Pure1 AI Copilot and workflow orchestration internally. The protocol driving our own automation is now available to you.

Copilot gets agentic: From monitoring to resolving
At Pure Accelerate 2026, Pure1 AI Copilot moves from a conversational assistant to an active operator.
When a performance anomaly surfaces, Pure1 AI Copilot does not just flag it. It analyzes the telemetry, walks through root cause step by step, and guides the team to resolution, all inside Pure1, without escalating to a specialist.
Today’s platform engineers and site reliability engineers (SREs) manage storage alongside compute, networking, Kubernetes, and cloud resources. Deep storage expertise is not always available when something breaks. Agentic triage in Pure1 AI Copilot closes that gap. Generalist operators get the guided analysis that previously required a storage expert on call.
Faster resolution. Lower escalation rates. Less time in war rooms.

Pure1 application intelligence: One accurate view across every team
Storage, application, and security teams each see a different slice of the same infrastructure. The storage team knows which volumes are near capacity. The application team knows which workloads are slow. The security team knows which arrays have protection gaps. Rarely does everyone share the same picture at the same time.
Pure1 application intelligence helps bridge those perspectives by bringing application and workload awareness directly into Pure1.
Running natively on the array as part of Purity 6.10.0, app intelligence brings application-level and file-level context directly into Pure1. It auto-discovers MS SQL, Oracle, SAP HANA, and more with no external collectors, no agents, and no additional infrastructure required. Storage, application, and security teams now share the same view of which critical workloads run where and how well they’re protected.
For capacity planning, protection assessment, and cross-team troubleshooting, the context is in Pure1—without anyone having to ask for it.

Everpure Fusion fleet: Managed as one, not many
Managing an Everpure Fusion fleet across dozens of arrays has meant tracking eligibility manually, checking topology in separate tools, and coordinating fleet joins through a support ticket. Now, that friction is gone.
Everpure Fusion fleet topology and administration are now directly available inside Pure1. See every array in the environment: which are joined, which are eligible, which need a Purity upgrade to qualify. Fleet joins and Purity upgrades can be initiated from the Fleet Administration page without a support ticket.
AI-driven Everpure Fusion rebalance moves workloads before bottlenecks develop, not after. Pure1 continuously analyzes placement across the fleet and rebalances without application disruption. Fleet management becomes more proactive, helping teams optimize placement, simplify operations, and reduce manual intervention across the environment.

Pure1 is not just where you manage storage anymore
AI has the potential to transform infrastructure operations, but only when it has access to the right information.
At Pure Accelerate 2026, we announced that Pure1 now extends storage intelligence beyond dashboards and management workflows. Through MCP servers, organizations can make real-time telemetry, fleet context, performance insights, capacity intelligence, and protection posture data available to the AI platforms and automation tools they already use. Pure1 AI Copilot helps teams investigate anomalies and accelerate resolution. App intelligence brings application and workload awareness directly into operational workflows. Everpure Fusion applies that intelligence across the environment to simplify fleet-wide management and optimization at scale.
Together, these innovations help close the gap between infrastructure data and operational action, making it easier for teams to move from insight to resolution.
Whether teams are troubleshooting performance issues, planning capacity, assessing protection posture, or managing fleets at scale, they can work from a shared foundation of real-time infrastructure intelligence.
Pure1 is evolving from a platform that helps teams manage storage to one that helps people, automation, and AI systems understand, optimize, and operate infrastructure more effectively.
