TeraSky and Pure Storage Join Forces to Bring Flashcrew to Israel

On Nov 24, 2022, we were proud to co-host with Pure Storage the inaugural FlashCrew user group Israel meetup! Our customers and prospects came together to share best practices, participate in in-depth technical discussions, and get exposed to new products and features.

FlashCrew is a Pure Storage User Group created to enable knowledge and experience interchange between Pure engineers, customers, and prospects. By creating a purpose-oriented organization, we are assuring the high quality of the content as well as a unique experience for the members around the newest features in the all-flash technology and a valuable network of Pure Storage users.
“These kinds of meetups are incredibly valuable,” said TeraSky CEO Ofir Abekasis. “Speaking with others can often help answer questions you didn’t even know you had. We were happy to have joined forces with Pure to host this event and are very much looking forward to the next one!”
