Pure Storage announced plans to showcase its flagship product, the Pure Storage FlashArray, at the VMworld 2011 tradeshow in Las Vegas, August 29 - September 1, where attendees can "test drive" the industry's first all-flash array for the enterprise at the Pure Storage booth, 1413.

Pure Storage angel investors and three-time Super Bowl Champions Ronnie Lott and Harris Barton will be on-hand to sign autographs on Wednesday, August 31 at the Pure Storage booth. The company will also hold a drawing for two tickets to the 2012 Super Bowl in February 2012.

"We are excited to be heading to VMworld 2011 to offer the first public demonstrations of our product, and we are honored that Ronnie Lott and Harris Barton will be there to help us kick things off," said Scott Dietzen, CEO at Pure Storage. "It's been great fun to have Ronnie and Harris help amp-up the team here at Pure Storage. They share our enthusiasm for embracing competition and for cultivating the trust and collaboration within our organization that will ultimately lead to success. We hope you'll join us to get a demo and learn more about how flash can make an immediate impact in your datacenter."
