Where IT comes from: Behind the scenes at Pure Storage's European R&D centre | Computer Weekly
Briefly

Pure Storage, a $2.8 billion storage supplier, effectively manages R&D and product testing across three global locations: Santa Clara, Bangalore, and Prague. Each site contributes to hardware and software development, maximizing collaboration and minimizing the need for cross-time zone meetings. This structure allows for autonomous project management while maintaining essential knowledge sharing through tools like Git repositories. The duplication of capabilities across sites is strategic, allowing for adaptability to customer-specific configurations and ongoing updates to improve overall storage controller software functionality.
The same capabilities exist across all sites, except Santa Clara with its hardware development facilities. This allows for autonomously run projects without excessive cross-time zone meetings.
We try to make projects run autonomously and to minimize cross-time zone meetings, while sharing information globally, such as in Git repositories.
Effective collaboration across all centers is essential for continuous optimization of storage controller software, ensuring functional interoperability among differing regional configurations.
Each site specializes—Santa Clara on hardware and both Bangalore and Prague on software development and testing, facilitating comprehensive R&D across varied configurations.
