Pure Storage has announced it will rebrand as Everpure. The new name reflects the companyās evolution from transforming storage to shaping the future of data management.
The company also signed a definitive agreement to acquire 1touch, a data intelligence and orchestration company that provides a unified view of enterprise information. With 1touch, Everpure aims to strengthen its data management capabilities, making data more secure, accessible, intelligent, and ready for use.
āEverpure reflects the company we have become as we help enterprises unleash the full power of their data. It captures the power of our Enterprise Data Cloud architecture and adaptability of Evergreen, reinforcing what has always set us apart as we redefine important markets. With 1touch, we are taking the next step in helping organizations not only gain control of their most valuable assetādataābut also understand, enhance, and contextualize that data for actionable intelligence,ā said Charles Giancarlo, CEO of Everpure.
Accelerating Data Management Innovation in the AI Era
As AI becomes central to business operations, the modern enterprise has reached an inflection point. AI has exposed the weaknesses of current infrastructure, where siloed data, manual processes, and inflexible architectures cannot support the scale, speed, and intelligence demands of enterprise AI.
Data is an organizationās most valuable asset, but it is trapped by these inefficiencies. Its full value can only be derived if it is effortless to manage, continuously protected, instantly available, and infused with context. Everpure is breaking these barriers with its Enterprise Data Cloud (EDC) architecture. Powered by the Everpure Platform (formerly the Pure Storage Platform), Everpureās EDC architecture transforms storage into a unified, virtualized cloud of data, governed by an intelligent control plane. It manages datasets globally, through policy, eliminating the friction of manual configurations, which brings unprecedented simplicity, agility, and efficiency to data management.
Extending Everpureās Data Management Roadmap With 1touch
The acquisition of 1touch will extend Everpureās data management capabilities by adding data discovery and semantic context to the Everpure Platform. By integrating storage with 1touchās ability to discover, classify, contextualize, and enrich data across all datasets and any environmentāEverpure will ensure enterprise data is inherently AI-ready at the source. This will allow organizations to transform raw data into actionable insights faster than ever.
āData is the lifeblood of the AI era, but without the proper controls and semantic context, it remains an untapped resource,ā said Ashish Gupta, CEO and President, 1touch. āBy joining forces with Everpure, we can eliminate the barriers that have kept enterprises from realizing the true ROI of their data. Together, we will further expand the Everpure platform to provide a level of contextual intelligence that is unmatched in the industryāgiving customers the foundation they need to move AI projects from pilot to production at record speed and trust.ā
Pure Storage will begin trading as Everpure on the New York Stock Exchange as of March 5, 2026. The ticker symbol (NYSE: PSTG) will remain unchanged.
The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in Q2 FY27. The terms of the transaction are not being disclosed.
