# Pure Storage FlashBlade Configuration

Pure Storage develops all-flash data storage hardware and software products. Pure Storage FlashBlade is a private object storage solution that customers typically deploy on-premises on any industry-standard x86 server.

Nasuni enables customers to leverage Pure Storage FlashBlade for high-performance file storage. Using Nasuni’s object storage-based global file system with Pure Storage FlashBlade, customers can modernize legacy NAS and file server infrastructure and achieve new levels of data protection and cross-office file collaboration.

## Configuration

Nasuni integrates with Pure Storage FlashBlade using the Nasuni Connector for Dell EMC ECS.

***Tip****: With on-premises object storage, if you are using an HTTPS proxy, consider including the hostnames of the target endpoint for the on-premises object storage in the* ***Do Not Proxy*** *specification. Otherwise, the proxy server might not allow data traffic or might slow down data traffic.*

To configure Nasuni for Pure Storage FlashBlade, follow these steps:

1. Ensure that port 443 (HTTPS) is open between the Nasuni Edge Appliance and the object storage solution.
2. On NMC, click **Account**.
3. Select **Cloud Credentials**.
4. Click **Add EMC ECS Credentials**. Alternatively, click **Add New Credentials**, then select **EMC ECS** from the drop-down menu.
5. Enter the following information from the Pure Storage FlashBlade cluster: **Name**: A name for this set of credentials, which is used for display purposes, such as ObjectStorageCluster1. **Access Key ID**: The bucket or container user name for authentication. **Secret Access Key**: The bucket or container user password for authentication. **Hostname**: The hostname for the location of the object storage solution. **Verify SSL Certificates**: Select this checkbox only if the endpoint has a public certificate. **Filers** (on NMC only): The target Nasuni Edge Appliance(s).
6. Click **Save Credentials**.

At this point, you can begin adding volumes to the Nasuni Edge Appliance.

## Adding volumes

To add volumes with Pure Storage FlashBlade, follow these steps:

1. Click **Volumes**, then click **Add New Volume**. The **Add New Volume** page appears.
2. Enter the following information for the new volume: **Name**: Enter a human-readable name for the volume. **Cloud Provider**: Select **EMC ECS**. **Credentials**: Select the **Cloud Credentials** you defined in step 5 for this volume, such as ObjectStorageCluster1. For the remaining options, select what is appropriate for this volume.

For more information, see the “[Create volume](/v1/docs/nmc-volumes-page#create-volume)” section in the Nasuni Management Console (NMC) Guide.
3. Click **Save**.

This creates a new volume with Pure Storage FlashBlade.
