Back to All Partners PURE STORAGE INVITE Networks is a Pure Storage partner deploying and managing all-flash storage infrastructure for enterprise and mid-market organizations in Salt Lake City and Phoenix. INVITE designs Pure Storage environments for VMware, SQL Server, Oracle, and VDI workloads — and manages the ongoing infrastructure so your storage team isn’t the bottleneck when performance matters. TL;DR: INVITE Networks is an authorized Pure Storage partner providing FlashArray and FlashBlade deployment, management, and infrastructure integration for organizations across Utah and Arizona. INVITE handles the full storage lifecycle — from initial sizing and design through ongoing capacity management, performance monitoring, and ransomware recovery with Pure SafeMode — under a single managed services relationship. This page is for IT directors and infrastructure architects evaluating a Pure Storage partner who can own the environment after the deployment. What does INVITE Networks deliver as a Pure Storage partner? INVITE’s Pure Storage practice covers FlashArray//C and //X deployment for block storage workloads, FlashBlade for unstructured file and object storage, Pure Cloud Block Store for hybrid cloud storage on AWS and Azure, and Pure as-a-Service (STaaS) for organizations that prefer a consumption-based model. INVITE is an authorized Pure Storage reseller and managed services provider, with engineers experienced in Pure’s Evergreen architecture and non-disruptive upgrade model. INVITE integrates Pure Storage into the broader infrastructure stack — VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, Nutanix, and bare-metal environments — and manages the storage layer as part of INVITE’s managed services practice, including capacity planning, performance monitoring, and firmware coordination. Why do Salt Lake City and Phoenix organizations choose INVITE for Pure Storage? INVITE’s infrastructure engineering team is headquartered in Salt Lake City, with regional coverage across Utah and Arizona including Phoenix. For data-intensive organizations — healthcare systems, financial services firms, manufacturing operations — INVITE’s local presence means faster response when storage incidents occur and engineers who understand the workload context, not just the array configuration. A 500-seat healthcare organization in Salt Lake City migrated from aging spinning-disk SAN to Pure Storage FlashArray through INVITE. Application response times for their EMR platform dropped by 83% after cutover, and the organization passed its next HIPAA storage performance audit without remediation findings — managed ongoing by INVITE’s Salt Lake City infrastructure team. How does INVITE protect against ransomware using Pure Storage SafeMode? Pure Storage SafeMode snapshots create immutable, administrator-locked copies of data that ransomware cannot encrypt or delete — even if attacker credentials are compromised at the storage layer. INVITE configures and manages SafeMode as part of every Pure Storage deployment, establishing snapshot schedules, retention policies, and tested recovery runbooks so organizations can recover in hours rather than days when an attack occurs. For clients in regulated industries — healthcare, financial services, government contractors — INVITE documents the SafeMode configuration as part of a broader data protection posture that satisfies HIPAA, PCI DSS, and CMMC audit requirements. INVITE tests recovery procedures on a defined schedule, not just at the time of deployment. What makes INVITE different from other Pure Storage partners? Most storage VARs deploy Pure arrays, connect them to the existing environment, and hand off documentation. INVITE sizes the environment for the actual workload — pulling application I/O profiles and growth projections before the array is ordered — then manages capacity, performance, and upgrades under a single ongoing relationship. Pure’s Evergreen architecture means the array never needs a forklift replacement, and INVITE coordinates controller upgrades and DirectFlash module expansions non-disruptively so production workloads never take a maintenance window. INVITE also integrates Pure Storage with backup and replication solutions — Veeam, Rubrik, and Commvault — creating a layered data protection architecture that covers both operational recovery and long-term retention.
