May 19, 2026 Vates Joins Everpure Alliance Program

Vates, global open source software editor announced it has joined the Everpure Technology Alliance Program.

New York, NY – Vates, global open source software editor, today announced it has joined the Everpure Technology Alliance Program (TAP), formalizing a technical partnership between Vates VMS and Everpure (formerly Pure Storage).

Enterprises running virtualized environments on top of Everpure storage are facing a growing modernization dilemma: how to change one layer without breaking the other. This collaboration answers that question directly, giving organizations a structured, validated path to evolve their virtualization stack independently of their storage infrastructure, through tested, documented, and reproducible architectures designed for production environments. As a natural extension of this relationship, Everpure will also be naturaly recognized as an associate member of the upcoming Vates Alliance Network (VAN).

The market shifted, the foundation didn’t

VMware environments are being re-evaluated across enterprises and service providers at scale. Meanwhile, the Everpure storage infrastructure underneath those environments isn’t going anywhere because it’s operationally mature, deeply embedded in business-critical workloads, and performing exactly as it should.

The challenge isn’t making systems work. It’s changing one layer without destabilizing the other.

“We’re seeing enterprises locked into paying for a virtualization platform they no longer trust, while their storage layer is rock solid,” said Oliver Lambert, CEO and Co-Founder of Vates.

“You shouldn’t have to break what’s working to fix what isn’t. This partnership exists so that they don’t have to gamble on two layers of infrastructure at once.”

Joining TAP moves the relationship beyond simple compatibility into a structured validation framework. Joint architectures are tested and documented long before they reach production to eliminate the assumptions and one-off tuning that often complicate critical migrations. Customers gain access to defined integration patterns and predictable behavior under real-world conditions, alongside structured upgrade paths designed specifically to avoid vendor lock-in. This shift ensures that risk reduction happens upstream, well before systems ever reach a live environment.

In production environments, predictability is far more valuable than synthetic benchmarks. The combination of Vates VMS and Everpure platforms is built to deliver consistent low-latency performance for virtualized workloads and stable behavior during sustained load or maintenance windows. By focusing on repeatable deployment patterns, the partnership removes the operational surprises that typically plague mission-critical environments.

Lambert added, “The objective is not to chase synthetic performance records, but to ensure infrastructure behaves every day exactly as expected.”

This is only the starting point

Vates and Everpure will expand their work across validated reference architectures, detailed compatibility and lifecycle documentation, and broader interoperability covering backup, disaster recovery, and automation workflows.

“The future of virtualization will be defined by choice, openness, and operational resilience. Our partnership with Vates ensures that customers adopting XCP-ng can continue to rely on Everpure FlashArray as a trusted enterprise storage foundation—protecting existing investments while enabling a more flexible infrastructure strategy,” said Cody Hosterman, Sr. Director of Product Management, Cloud and Virtualization at Everpure.

Organizations exploring how to modernize their virtualization stack without disrupting their storage layer can also engage Vates’ advisory and consulting services directly.
