Summary
Seamlessly integrated into the Pure Storage platform, AI Copilot combines the power of dashboards with the simplicity of conversation, enabling storage admins to get more done—with less effort and more insight.
Abraham Lincoln famously said, “Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the ax.” The takeaway? The right tool doesn’t just save time—it changes the game.
IT professionals, especially storage, security, and application admins, know this truth all too well. Navigating sprawling fleets, juggling performance issues, deciphering security risks, and chasing down documentation—all with manual tools or siloed dashboards—feels like swinging a dull ax.
That’s where the AI Copilot comes in—a simple, powerful way to get more done, with less effort and more insight.

Pure Storage is redefining simplicity in enterprise storage—eliminating complexity, accelerating operations, and delivering a cloud experience across on-prem and hybrid environments with its unified platform. AI Copilot is not just a new feature; it’s a paradigm shift in how modern storage is managed. Seamlessly integrated into the Pure Storage platform, AI Copilot amplifies the simplicity and power of the platform by helping technical leaders and admins work faster, smarter, and with more confidence.
At its core, AI Copilot acts as a force multiplier across three key dimensions:
1. Personalized Insights: Tailored to Your Fleet
No two storage environments are alike. Generic dashboards and templated reports miss the nuances that matter when troubleshooting performance or optimizing resources. AI Copilot changes this by deeply understanding your fleet’s specific characteristics—its architecture, workloads, and unique usage patterns.
Take, for example, Performance Management (Pure1® login required) in Pure1 Manage, which already gives admins rich visibility into array behavior and metrics. AI Copilot builds on this by enabling personalized queries like, “Which arrays had performance issues at 4AM this morning?” With a conversational interface, admins can get to the root cause faster—unlocking deeper insights with less effort and accelerating troubleshooting across the board.

Personalized insights mean faster diagnostics, quicker remediation, and better overall system health—all while reducing the time and expertise usually required for deep troubleshooting.
2. Self-serve and Support: Always On, Always There
Self-service is no longer a nice-to-have—it’s a necessity in today’s fast-paced environments. Storage admins are constantly under pressure to act quickly—whether diagnosing a system issue, upgrading infrastructure, responding to compliance audits, or ensuring service continuity during unexpected changes. Waiting for assistance or hunting through documentation simply isn’t viable.
AI Copilot eliminates these roadblocks by giving admins direct, on-demand access to answers—right inside Pure1 Manage (Pure1 login required). Take Knowledge Base Search, for example: Whether it’s a CLI command, API usage, or details from the latest Purity release, AI Copilot instantly surfaces the most relevant documentation using natural language queries. No need to leave the platform or dig through pages—it’s like having a 24×7 expert librarian built into your storage console.

It also enhances the support experience by accelerating Q&A and self-help. When users reach out for assistance, AI Copilot enables them to quickly find answers to common questions on their own, reducing case volume and helping support teams focus on the most complex issues.
3. Simplified Management: Ask, Don’t Click
Managing modern infrastructure often requires navigating rich dashboards, detailed graphs, and layered menus—tools that offer powerful insights but can sometimes slow down quick actions or ad hoc investigations. AI Copilot doesn’t replace these tools; it complements them. It provides a conversational layer that makes accessing the right data faster and more intuitive, especially when time is of the essence. AI Copilot simplifies all of that by turning management into a conversation.
Take the Subscriptions and Sustainability Assessment (Pure1 login required for both) capabilities in Pure1 Manage, which already provide centralized, detailed views for planning and reporting. AI Copilot enhances these workflows by enabling users to ask questions like, “Generate an executive subscription report” or “Show a pie chart of emissions breakdown by array.” With AI Copilot, admins can instantly turn insights into presentation-ready visuals—making reporting faster, easier, and more impactful without switching contexts.
AI Copilot adds a conversational layer that reduces operational overhead, minimizes manual searching, and empowers teams to move fluidly between visual exploration and quick, targeted actions. It allows admins to work more efficiently, make decisions faster, and focus on strategic initiatives instead of navigating complex interfaces.
What Next?
