Everpure has expanded its Enterprise Data Cloud strategy with the launch of ActiveCluster support for file, enabling continuous availability and fleet‑wide mobility of enterprise file data. The new capability allows organizations to move workloads seamlessly across environments, applying centralized, policy-driven automation without disruption.
Positioning the announcement as a break from legacy limitations, Everpure says the update addresses challenges stemming from architectures built before the era of cloud, flash, and AI. With AI workloads creating unprecedented pressure on storage throughput, traditional systems struggle to keep GPUs fully utilized often locking data to rigid, siloed hardware.
“Legacy vendors are still tethered to the infrastructure-first designs of the 1990s. When files are locked to siloed hardware, migrations are disruptive, and mobility is manual. ActiveCluster changes that,” said Shawn Hansen, VP and GM for FlashBlade and FlashArray at Everpure. “We’ve moved from hardware-to-data thinking to an app-to-data model as a unified platform, at the speed your business demands.”

Integrated with Everpure Fusion and embedded within the Purity operating environment, ActiveCluster for file extends far beyond high availability. It centralizes policy definition and enforces mobility, failover, and resiliency across entire fleets eliminating manual configuration while cutting down administrative overhead.
Key benefits include:
• Simple, policy-based management: Fast setup and automated scaling based on standardized policies.
• Continuous access: Files remain available during any outage, ensuring applications stay online regardless of disruptions.
• Fleet-wide mobility: Workloads dynamically shift across the environment to meet SLAs without human intervention.
• Any-array, any-time operations: Cloud-like flexibility enabling mobility and availability across any Everpure array, without dedicated hardware.
• Unified SLAs at scale: Workload-specific SLAs enforced automatically across the fleet.
ActiveCluster for file will be generally available in Q2 2026 via a non-disruptive Purity upgrade no new hardware required.
