AI Era Accelerates Growth of Everpure, Formerly Known as Pure Storage

Formerly known as Pure Storage, Everpure has had a good quarter. The company, which recently changed its name to reflect its transition to a comprehensive data platform, saw its quarterly revenue increase 20% to a record high of $1.1 billion.

With these results, Everpure proves that the demand for modern data storage and intelligent management in the AI ​​era is greater than ever. For the full fiscal year 2026, revenue reached $3.7 billion, a 16% increase over the previous year.

“Everpure delivered an outstanding fourth quarter, achieving our first billion-dollar revenue quarter and capping off a strong fiscal year,” said Charles Giancarlo, Chairman and CEO of Everpure. “These results prove our impact in modernizing data storage. Our new name ‘Everpure’ represents the next step in our mission—enabling our customers to better manage and utilize their global data in the AI era.”

A key indicator of future growth is Remaining Performance Obligations (RPO)—the value of ongoing contracts that have yet to be recognized as revenue. This item jumped 40% to $3.7 billion, indicating a very strong order book for the coming year.
